Boyhood and Girlhood - ZaunköniG - 30.03.2008 Boyhood and Girlhood Did our first parents in their happy seat, New from the Maker's hand, a wedded pair, In livelier hues their several sex declare Than that brave boy, and that wee lady sweet? Though not in measure nor in mind complete They come, a perfect husband and a bride; Yet is the seal impress'd and testified By prophet Nature, till the season meet. The girl, a girl instinct with simple arts, And all the innocent cunning of her sex; A very girl, delighting to perplex The eye of love with antic change of parts: Burly and bold the lad, his mien denotes One-hearted manhood even in petticoats. |
