1 | ->''As fast as thou shalt wane, so fast thou grow'st\ |
2 | In one of thine, from that which thou departest;\ |
3 | And that fresh blood which youngly thou bestow'st,\ |
4 | Thou mayst call thine when thou from youth convertest.\ |
5 | Herein lives wisdom, beauty, and increase;\ |
6 | Without this folly, age, and cold decay:\ |
7 | If all were minded so, the times should cease\ |
8 | And threescore year would make the world away.\ |
9 | Let those whom nature hath not made for store,\ |
10 | Harsh, featureless, and rude, barrenly perish:\ |
11 | Look whom she best endow'd, she gave the more;\ |
12 | Which bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty cherish:\ |
13 | She carv'd thee for her seal, and meant thereby,\ |
14 | Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die.'' |

31 | ->''But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame\ |
32 | Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same;\ |
33 | And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,\ |
34 | The female of the species must be [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale deadlier than the male.]]\ |
35 | \ |
36 | She who faces [[DeathByChildbirth Death by torture for each life beneath her breast]]\ |
37 | May not deal in doubt or pity--must not swerve for fact or jest.\ |
38 | These be purely male diversions--not in these her honour dwells--\ |
39 | She is the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.\ |
40 | \ |
41 | She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great\ |
42 | As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate.\ |
43 | And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unclaimed to claim\ |
44 | Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.'' |
45 | -->--'''Creator/RudyardKipling''', ''The Female of the Species'' |
