These tell us they have all the rights they want.

And, more’s the pity, some good women, too;

Good conscientious women, with ideas;

Who think—or think they think—that woman’s cause

Is best advanced by letting it alone;

That she somehow is not a human thing,

And not to be helped on by human means,

Just added to humanity—an “L”—

A wing, a branch, an extra, not mankind,—

These tell us they have all the rights they want.
