So long had God supplied them of his free grace alone,
That now it is denied them, the fault is all their own:
They might have been contented!
Friedrich Rückert.
WOMAN
ALL honour to woman, the sweetheart, the wife,
The delight of our firesides by night and by day,
Who never does anything wrong in her life,
Except when permitted to have her own way.
Fitz-Greene Halleck.
