WOMAN.
Mr. Ledyard, as quoted by M. Parke, in his Travels into Africk.
"To a woman I never addressed myself, in the ⟨language⟩ of decency and friendship, without receiving ⟨a decent⟩ and friendly answer. If I was hungry or ⟨thirsty, wet⟩ or sick, they did not hesitate, like men, to ⟨perform a⟩ generous action: in so free and kind a manner ⟨did they⟩ contribute to my relief, that if I was dry, I drank the sweetest draught; and if hungry, I ate the coarsest morsel with a double relish."
PLACE the White-Man on Africk's coast,
Whose swarthy sons in blood delight,
Who of their scorn to Europe boast,
And paint their very dæmons white.
Whose swarthy sons in blood delight,
Who of their scorn to Europe boast,
And paint their very dæmons white.
There while the sterner sex disdains
To soothe the woes, they cannot feel,
Woman will strive to heal his pains,
And weep for those she cannot heal:
To soothe the woes, they cannot feel,
Woman will strive to heal his pains,
And weep for those she cannot heal:
