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.''
