Quote by POPE: _Moral Essays,_ Epis. ii.,
In men, we various Ruling Passions find; In women, two almost divide the kind; Those, only fix'd, they first or last obey, The love of pleasure and the love of sway.
Summary
This quote suggests that men and women have distinct dominant passions. Men are driven by various passions, while women's passions are almost entirely divided between the love of pleasure and the love of power. Men's passions, once fixed, are unwavering and consistently guide their actions. In contrast, women's passions for pleasure and power take precedence, and they may switch between them depending on the circumstances.
