Classic Poem

I' am the only sex your Grace may say,
And rightly, for y'are a man and display
(Made high by honour, and by your great birth)
Excellent vertues, acting them on Earth;
So that the onely sex with virile strength,

Looking on you, we grant you at the length:
Excelling in the conquest of the minde,
Noted above each ancient Peere we finde,
On all the Roules of former ages gon;
Xerxes himselfe was not such valiant one.
