careering through the skies,The softened splendor of a womans eyes, ,^The gentle smile, sweet tone, and matchless grace,That sit enthroned in womans form and face,Her tearful prayer oer wrongs to Heaven addressed,The pitying love that dwells in womans breast.These are the noiseless unobtrusive powerS;That fall on human hearts like dewy showers,More potent far than blustering dashing rain,Exhausted^ Nature to revive again.Such gifts as these on woman Heaven confers.With these, the crown and regal robes are hers,What power can more dear or precious beThan soothing woes of poor humanity ?What were lifes pleasures without womans care.Or what were beauty, should hers disappear ?What sceptre greater than the sway oer those,Who rule themselves and others, fiiends and foes ?What more diversion than to fool the fools^ Who lead in Senates, or who teach in schools ?What greater power than to rule the rulers?What more amusement than to fool the foolers ?

But thine every action Good, will stamp thee with some fresh attraction,Give to thine old age beauty more en
