A women can make an average man great, and a great man average.
They never sought in vain that sought the Lord alright!
Their sighing, canting, grace-proud faces, their three-mile prayers, and half-mile graces.
From scenes like these old Scotia's grandeur springs, That makes her loved at home, revered abroad: Princes and lords are but the breath of kings, "An honest man 's the noblest work of God."
While Europe's eye is fix'd on mighty things, The fate of empires and the fall of kings; While quacks of State must each produce his plan, And even children lisp the Rights of Man; Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention, The Rights of Woman merit some attention.
