WOMAN.
I Tbs following idea of the Formation of Woman is,
extracted from a Treatise, entitled Philofophie
de I'Univcrs, written by DUFONT de Nz
_ MOORS.— Perhaps a more eloquent and delight
§ • ful defeription never came from the pen of man.]
■ " A MONG the plants, the flower which is
defined to produce fruit, I have formed
in the most agreeable and brilliant shape, and
finished with the nicest skill. Woman mall be
. the flower of human kind.
“ Come to me all ye elements of beauty, of
grace, virtue, sensibility, beneficence, and gen
tlends, combine and arrange yourfclves to please
and to enchant. Man I could form after my
own image ; for Woman I have no model, but
in bright fancy. Let her be the most perfect
of visible creatures, and, if flie can, the most
happy.
" Let her heart beat with a livelier pulse
than that of man. Let her live more in a less
time, and yet that file may enjoy a longer ca
reer. She ihall be good and ufeful to her last
moment. Let her bless three generations. Let
her conihtute the happiness of her lover, of her
children, and even of her grand-children ; and
in each varying age kt the tenderness the in
spires be mingled with refped. Let her deli
cate nerves convey to every sense r§pkl affec
tions. Let her slender foot be proper for the
•, dance, and her white _hand to bellow caresses.
Let her forbear to employ them profufely in
the fwift course, and in labours too severe. Let
her elegant form and her round limbs display
and inspire temptation in all their movements.
Let them be covered with a foft fatis, not to
be touched without inflaming the daring hand.
Let her fire eyes be the mirror of her foul, in
whi;h the observer fliall read an indulgent and
affecting kindness : even while foe drops them
on the ground, let them betray her secret wish
es. Let her breath diffufe the perfumes of the
peach. Let the gentle down be spread upon
her cheeks , let them be coloured by an expres
sive vermilion, which, in the emotion of a ten
der thought, ingenuous shame ihall diffufe, even
over her brow, modesty. Let her enchanting
bosom represent the celestial globes, of which a
rose-bud Ihall form the magnetic pole. Let it
offer to desire its firft enjoyment—its firft
nourishment to infancy; and let man ever re
main in doubt, whether it has molt contributed
to the happiness of the father or of the son. L^t
her long ringlets, flowing and yet bound, serve
at once to so many charms as the veil and the
ornament ; let them be the Shelter of the new
born infant, and when chance, but more when
affection, shall divide them, let the lover feel as
if '^heavens were opened."
