Excerpt from Woman: A Poem
Woman.
I.
The Muses's office was by Heaven designed,
To please, improve, instruct, reform mankind
Now, armed with wrath, she bids eternal shame,
With strictest justice, brand the villain's name,
Now, in the milder grab of ridicule,
She sports and pleases, while she wounds the fool,
Her style is often varied, but her aims,
To prop the cause of truth, is still the same.
Young ladies, up the perilous path that leads
From childhood's hopes to woman's graver deeds,
Thus far you have advanced, and much no doubt
Have learned, well worth your patient finding out
And yet, perhaps, have little thought meanwhile,
Strong on your innocence, and by the smile
