Classic Poem

Mighty thou art in the strength of thy calm unruffled enchantments:
For tranquillity's spell bustle can never achieve.
Force I expect in man, defending the canons of order;
But let woman alone through her amenity rule.
Many indeed have ruled by dint of ideas and action,
But they had not thee, noblest adornment of all.
No true queen there is but woman's womanly beauty,
By mere presence it rules, dominant where it appears.
