ATURE the Bull with horns supplies, The horse with hoofs she fortifies, The fleeting foot on hares bestows, On lions teeth, two dreadful rows! 4 Grants fish to swim, and birds to fly, And on their skill bids men rely.
Women alone defenceless live, To women what does nature give? 8 Beauty she gives instead of darts, Beauty, instead of shields, imparts; Nor can the sword, nor fire, oppose The fair, victorious where she goes. 12
