“Do this,”

I said, “you do but what is woman’s right;

And none about you will dispute the right.

But ask me not to limit thus the Christ.

How dare I?—if our churches teach the truth,

If He incarnated the sum of life

And spirit of all good,—his holiness

His wholeness, and His perfectness, the proof

Of what He was? Nor dare I limit those

Who follow Him.—Why may they not live His,
