III teil you what 10 h, my dear,
Said Mrs. DoFking, proudly.
II do not like this ehanticleer
Who crown Ger Ne % loudly.
And since must hla laws obey,
And have him walk before me.
I'D rather like 20 have my say
OF who should lord e Ger me"
You'd IKE 70 vote - be answered
slow.
.Why, treasure Of my treasures,
What can yOu, or what should you
Ofpublie men, OF measures?
OF course, you have ability,
OF nothing am / suFeF;
You're quite as wise, perhaps, a. I
You're better, too, and pureF.
I'D have you lust for mine alone;
Nay, 90 I do adOre yOu,
I'D put you queen upon q throne,
And bow myself before you"
You'd pat mel YOEg now that b
what
do not want precisely;
want myself % choose the spot
That I can al most wisely"
''My dear, you're talking like q
UHkealy, and improper
But here again her words broke
loose,
In vain be tried TO stop her
II tell you" though she never spoke
So you could understand her,
A goose knows when she wears q
yoke
As quickly as q gander."
"Why bless my soull What would
you do?
Write out q diagnosis &?
Speak equal rights? Join with their
crew
And dine with the SOrOsls?
And shall live 10 See Il, then
My wife public teacher3
And would you be q Growing hen
That dreadful unseXed creature ?"
why, rs TO that, do not know;
Nor see why you should fear it,
II ! can crow, why let me crow,
IL / can't, then you WON'T hear It."
Nov why" he said, "ean't such as
you
Accept what zoe assign them?
You have your rights, tits very true,
But then, iDe should define them
I'VE would not peck you cruelty,
We would not buy and sell YOU
And you, IN fuTl, should think, and
be,
And do, just what we tell youi
do not want you made, my dear,
The subject Of rude mems tests
i like you In your proper sphere,
The circle Of hens nest
I'd keep you in the chicken yard,
Safe, hOnOred, and respected;
From ell that makes Us rough and
hard,
Your sex should be protected"
Pray, did Il ever make you sick ?
Have 1 gone 10 the dickens,
Because you let me scratch and pick
Both for myself and chickens ?"
SO, that's 3 different thing, you
know,
Such duties are parental;
But for some work 20 do, you'd grow
Quite weak and sentimental"
All yes, it's well for you 10 talk
About a parents duty
Who keeps your chickens from the |
hawk?
Who stays In nights, my beauty2
''But, madam, you may 20 each hour;
Lord bless your pretty faces
Wen give you anything but power
And honor, trust, and places.
We've kept it hidden from your sight /
How public scenes are carried
Why, men are coarse, and swear, and
fghtr-
II E''O'O Il, dear I'm married ?"
why, now you gable like q fool
But what's the use OF talklng2
lIis yours to serve, and mine 10 rule,
tell you, Mrs.. DOrking %
20, yes" she said, "yOu've all the
sense
Your sex are very knowing;
Yet some Of you are on the fence
and only good at GROWING"
All ! precisusest Of precious souls,
Your words with sorrow All me
To see you voting OF the polls
really think would kill me.
TO mourn your homes Lost sanetIty
TO feel you did not love me;
And worse, TO see you hy 90 high,
And have you rOOst above me
Now, what you fear is equal rights
think you've told precisely;
mars just about tie place Il ti0hts,"
said Mrs, DOFking wisely.
