“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,
