5 quotes

Disguise our bondage as we will,
'Tis woman, woman rules us still.

Ask a woman's advice, and, whate'er she advise,
Do the very reverse and you're sure to be wise.

Irish Melodies (1807)

Man for his glory
To ancestry flies;
But Woman's bright story
Is told in her eyes.

Irish Melodies (1807)

The light that lies
In woman's eyes,
Has been my heart's undoing.

Irish Melodies (1807)

My only books
Were woman's looks,
And folly's all they've taught me.
