To whose immaculate pre-eminence

We pure and perfect maidens of the air

Accord our voluntary reverence!

Zay. Her conduct is an outrage on her sex!

Was it for this that we proposed to her

That we should bring these mortals to our land?

Is this the way to teach this erring man

The moral beauties of a spotless life?

To teach him truths that now he wots not of?

Surely this knight might well have learnt on earth
