The endings of lines 1, 2, and 4 in excerpt 2 are exceptionally well-articulated; whereas the end of line 3 is conspicuously underarticulated, against all syntactic and prosodic odds.
Nonetheless, there is a feeling that the transition from line 3 to 4 is rather hasty.
An earlier generalisation of mine can be applied here too, with the necessary changes: the preservation of rhythmicality depends, among other things, on whether such disintegrating forces as a midline pause are balanced by such appropriate integrating forces as clear-cut articulation of the line ending, or some perceptual force propelling across the pause.

 A Guide to Fallacies
In this case, we need only find a single counter-example to show that the general claim is false, such as a murder by a female.
To avoid the hasty generalization we have to be careful not to come up with a general rule from too few particular cases.
This is not an obscure delicacy but a fallacy that involves bringing irrelevant ideas to a discussion as though they can add to it.

ZF does seem to avoid the paradoxes, and the conception of set it formalises is one that apparently allows one to interpret the whole of mathematics.
But how can an historically wrong and philosophically hasty story have such a happy ending?

The distinction between these two levels of evolution was first recognised by Thomas Huxley: nature itself is guided primarily by necessity in the form of biologically inherited instincts and characteristics, while human society is guided increasingly by the emerging freedom of choice and social responsibility.
Spencer's concept of the 'survival of the fittest' may be, to some extent, a useful descriptive generalisation applicable to biological evolution, but it is neither logically nor ethically applicable when extended to human sociocultural development.
For if such a hasty generalisation was done, one could assert all Christianity is about is child molesting and homosexuality by using the many cases of child abuse and homosexuality by priests.
