Page 228 - Of goddesses, so blithe, so smooth, so gay, Yet empty of all good wherein consists Woman's domestic honour and chief praise ; Bred only and completed to the taste Of lustful appetence, to sing, to dance, To dress, and troll the tongue, and roll the eye.
Page 22 - O woman, best are all things as the will Of God ordain'd them ; his creating hand Nothing imperfect or deficient left Of all that he created...
