    He that fights and runs away,
    Will live to fight another day;
    For he that runs may fight again,
    Which he can never do that's slain.
    Deeper to wound she shuns the fight;
    She drops her arms, to gain the field:
    Secures her conquest by her flight:
    And triumphs when she seems to yield.
