Poor she is not—and there is that in her

That easy men to strength of mind prefer;

She may be made, with little care and skill,

Yielding her own, t’adopt an husband’s will.

Women there are, who of a man will take

The helm and steer—will no resistance make;

Who, if neglected, will the power assume,

And then what wonder if the shipwreck come?

Queens they will be, if man allow the means, 60

And give the power to these domestic queens;
