The burden of the wasting weariness;

And thus, in rank refined or rude have grown

Maidens in whom the weakness was not known;

Hale woman and true mother have they been,

Yet never have the noisome habit seen:

Not to neglectful man to greatly care

How such immunity all womanhood might share.

Her intellect alert the harm shall heal,

And ways of wholesomeness and strength reveal;
