Which line in this excerpt from "the rape of the lock" by alexander pope suggests that women in eighteenth-century england were expected to readily accept proposals from rich gentlemen without much opposition?
what dire offence from am'rous causes springs,
what mighty contests rise from trivial things,
i sing — this verse to caryl, muse! is due:
this, ev'n belinda may vouchsafe to view:
slight is the subject, but not so the praise,
if she inspire, and he approve my lays.

say what strange motive, goddess! could compel
a well-bred lord t' assault a gentle belle?
o say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
could make a gentle belle reject a lord?
in tasks so bold, can little men engage,
and in soft bosoms dwells such mighty rage?
