“They tell us we mistake our sex and way;Good breeding, fassion, dancing, dressing, playAre the accomplishments we shou’d desire;To write, or read, or think, or to enquireWou’d cloud our beauty and exaust our time,And interrupt the Conquests of our prime;Whilst the dull mannage of a servile houseIs held by some our outmost art and use.”
