名人诗歌|A Female Will

What may Man be？ who can tell？ But what may Woman be，

To have power over Man from Cradle to corruptible^{1 Grave？}

There is a Throne in every Man： it is the Throne of God.

This， Woman has claim'd as her own； and Man is no more：

Albion is the Tabernacle of Vala and her Temple，

And not the Tabernacle and Temple of the Most High.

O Albion！ why wilt^{2 thou create a Female Will，}

To hide the most evident God in a hidden covert^{3， even}

In the shadows of a Woman and a secluded^{4 Holy Place，}

That we may pry^{5 after him as after a stolen treasure，}

Hidden among the Dead and murd up from the paths of Life？
