A Female Will

(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

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

To have power over Man from Cradle to corruptible¹ 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 wilt² thou create a Female Will，

To hide the most evident God in a hidden covert³， even

In the shadows of a Woman and a secluded⁴ Holy Place，

That we may pry⁵ after him as after a stolen treasure，

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