To the printer. . . . [1 paragraph] The argument used by
orator Zorobabel to prove the superiour strength and power
of the fair sex are so different from any specimen of modern
oratory I have ever met with that I could not resist the
inclination to translate them into verse, in which I have
followed the text as literally as the nature of a
translation will admit, from the 14th to the 33d verse of
the same chapter.
Not from the force of wine, or power of Kings,
The excellence of strength superiour springs,
Who is it then that over Kingdoms rules,
Makes monarch tremble, and their subjects fools?
