On Women
Translated by Thomas Stanley
Horns to bulls wise Nature lends
Horses she with hoofs defends
Hares with nimble feet relieves
Dreadful teeth to lions gives
Fishes learn through streams to slide
Birds through yielding air to glide
Men with courage she supplies
But to women these denies
What then gives she? Beauty, this
Both their arms and armour is
She, that can this weapon use
Fire and sword with ease subdues
