I IDOLIZE the ladies. They are fairies
That spiritualize this earth of ours;
From heavenly hotbeds most delightful flowers,
Or choice cream-cheeses from celestial dairies.
But learning, in its barbarous seminaries,
Gives the dear creatures many wretched hours;
And on their gossamer intellects sternly showers
Science, with all its horrid accessories.
Now, seriously, the only things, I think,
In which young ladies should instructed be,
Are stocking-mending, love, and cookery, -
Accomplishments that very soon will sink,
Since Fluxions, now, and Sanskrit conversation
Always form part of female education.
