THE SPIRIT OF THE SPECIES

In old paleolithic eras when our
kinship with the beast
Was so close we called him cousin.
shared dark den and bloody feast.
Man knew no law, save Law of
Force, he built a cheering tale
That the female of the species is
feebler than the male.
He saw the huge she-mammoth
dwell alone in pond 'rous pride !;
He saw the sword-toothed tigress
hurl her slighter mate aside;
But he shut his eyes in stubborn
ness, lest all social systems fail
With the downfall of his doctrine
Of the muscle of the Male.
Earth s cumbrous muscled mon
sters died, coarse-fbered forms
of old,
Tossed back to chaos by God Who
wrought from finer mold.
Man learned to live by Law of
Guile. and framed subtler tale.
That the female of the species is
more stupid than the male.
Then he fashioned codes of Shall
and Sha n t. charged others what
to do.
While woman, tho close locked at
home. ruled him and household
too.
Ten thousand years oppression
had not crushed that female
frail,
Nor made her darting wit more
slow to sway the CLEVER" male
Proud pagan Rome down cr,mbled
the Spirit s faith was told;
And knighthood came, and glory I
flame; and craft grew shameC
and old.
The Law of Honor bound the mar
Was it Honor forged the tale,
That the female of the species i,
less loyal than the male?
