To murder men and give God thanks!

Or e’er dispute thy pleasure?
Else why, within so thick a wall,
Enclose so poor a treasure?

In uproar and riot rejoice the night long;

But where is your shield from the darts of Contempt!

WHILE Europe’s eye is fix’d on mighty things,
The fate of Empires and the fall of Kings;
While quacks of State must each produce his plan,
And even children lisp the Rights of Man;
Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention,
The Rights of Woman merit some attention.
