[“Why were prudence and valour to women denied?”]
“Why were prudence and valour to women denied?”Said Momus to Jove: Jove to Momus replied,
“In Beauty, with which I endow'd womankind,
Compensation sor both they abundantly find.”
“Is Beauty sufficient?” “Go down, silly elf,
If you doubt it,” said Jove, “and ask woman herself.”
