N Logic a woman may seldom excel;
But in Rhetoric always she bears off the bell.
Fair Portia will show woman's talent for law,
When in old Shylock's bond she could prove such a flaw.
She would blunder in physic no worse than the rest,
She could leave things to Nature as well as the best,
She could feel at your wrist, she could finger your fee;
Then why should a woman not get a degree?
Lord Neaves, Songs and Verses.
UAM parvâ sapientiâ regitur mundus. Say rather, quam magnâ stultitiâ.
Charles Buxton, Notes of Thought.
HE padded corsage and the well-matched hair,
Judicious jupon spreading out the spare,
Sleeves well designed soft plumpness to impart,
Leave vacant still the hollows of the heart.
Alfred Austin, The Season.
