Cease! nor thus seek to cloak the savage force

Which triumphs o'er a woman's feebleness.

Though woman, I am born as free as man.

And thou requiredst what became him not,

His arm and trusty weapon would defend

His bosom's freedom. I have only words;

But it becomes a noble-minded man

To treat with due respect the words of woman.
