A BACHELOR'S COMMENTS ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS
'Tis said the time is close at hand Which earnest thought invites—We 'If take up this expansive theme And speak on "Women's Rights." Methinks there's many a questions, now. Which worthy seems of note; What say we, then: Will all things change When the women have power to vote?
Will they exchange places with the men— Tread where have trod their feet—And dig and delve all day, to get Things for the men to eat? Will the men folks stay in the house all day Dressed in their silks and laces—Their soft white hands bedecked with rings, And powder on their faces?
Will they play the piano, with no thought To the morrow ever giving—While the woman goes, and tries to find Some way to get a living?
