Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Every One Has His Fault: A Comedy, in Five Acts Our Author, who accuses great and small, And says so boldly, there are faults in all; Sends me with dismal voice, and lengthen´d phiz, Humbly to own one dreadful fault of his: A fault, in modern Authors not uncommon, It is - now don´t be angry - He´s - a woman. Can you forgive it? Nay, I´ll tell you more, One who has dar´d to venture here before; Has seen your smiles, your frowns - tremendous sight! O, be not in a frowning mood to-night! The Play, perhaps, has many things amiss: Well, let us then reduce the point to this, Let only those that have no failings, hiss. The Rights of women, says a female pen, Are, to do every thing as well as Men, To think, to argue, to decide, to write, To talk, undoubtedly - perhaps to fight. (For Females march to war, like brave Commanders, Not in old Authors only - but in Flanders.) I grant this matter may be strain´d too far, And Maid´ gainst Man is most uncivil war: I grant, as all my City Friends will say, That Men should rule, and Women should obey: That nothing binds the marriage contract faster, Than our - a "Zounds, Madam, I´m your Lord and Master." I grant their nature, and their frailty such, Women make too free - and know too much. But since the Sex at length has been inclin´d To cultivate that useful part - the mind; - Since they have learnt to read, to write, to spell; - Since some of them have wit - and use it well; - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
