A Womanly Heart

A Womanly Heart.

(The "Manly Heart" of last issue gets his answer.)

Shall I, because, a man is slow,
Die a virgin pure as snow;
Or shall his overweening pride
In heaven condemn me to abide?
This courting's often underdid,
E'en though he's worth a million quid,
For if his love is not for me—
By female tongue, to Hell with he!

He that bears a goodly purse
Sure for that is none the worse;
If he loves me for myself,
Well, I'll love him minus pelf.
But if he seeks to waste ray dough,
I'll pack his traps and off he'll go;
For what care I how he may fare
If for me he does not care?

He may wander in his ride
O'er the broad earth far and wide
For some creature with a "dot,"
Prithee "woman" call her not!
'Tis a puppet man would cull,
Let him have some image dull,
A wooden doll to sweep his floor,
Too unsexed to spurn the bore.

In this year of grace are we
Emancipated, proudly free!
We raise our banner to the skies
And scorn man's feeble abject cries.
"Wait your turn, presumptuous fellow,
You're too callow, you must mellow,"
In this world our sex is peerless.
Ne'er again we'll live Leap Year-less!

A Gentle Reminder...

Not a Gentle Remainder.—Ed.
