Free without scandal; wise without restraint;
Their virtue due to nature, not to fear.
Zara (1735)
Joys, which we do not know, we do not wish.
Zara (1735)
First, then, a woman will or won’t, depend on ’t;
If she will do ’t, she will; and there ’s an end on ’t.
But if she won’t, since safe and sound your trust is,
Fear is affront, and jealousy injustice.
Zara (1735)
You talk no more of that gay nation now,
Where men adore their wives, and woman's power
Draws reverence from a polished people's softness,
Their husbands' equals, and their lovers' queens;
Free without scandal; wise without restraint;
Their virtue due to nature, not to fear.
Zara (1735)
