Sida 4 - The beauty of women is considerably owing to their weakness or delicacy, and is even enhanced by their timidity, . a quality of mind analogous to it.
Sida 3 - The envied lot of wealth denies ; If doom'd to drag life's painful load Through Poverty's uneven road, And, for the due bread of the day...
