But who can tell the mighty daring spirit of man, and of women hardened in their souls, and their loves that venture all, comates with the woes of mortals? Un-lovely love, lording it in woman's heart, overcomes the conjugal societies of brutes and of men.

But who the dangerous thoughts can tell
That in man's daring bosom roll;
675
Or whirl the more tempestuous soul
Of woman, when the tyrant paſſions ſwell?
When love, to torment near allied,
Bids frenzy rule the troubled hour?
Love, that exerts with wanton pride
680
O'er female hearts deſpotic pow’r;
And binds in his ungentle chain
Each ſavage of the wood, each monſter of the main.

Ma chi mai la superbia
ch'empie agli uomini il seno
dir potrebbe, o l'ardor, che non ha freno,
di femminile tresca?

Esso gli scempî origina.
Libidine donnesca,
su nuziale talamo se disonesta impera,
vince in protervia ogni uomo e ogni fiera.

Wer des trotz'gen Weiberherzens

Sie zerstört der Menschheit Frieden

But who can tell aright the fiercer thing,
The aweless soul, within man's breast inhabiting?
Who tell, how, passion-fraught and love-distraught,
The woman's eager, craving thought

Doth wed mankind to woe and ruin fell?
Yea, how the loveless love that doth possess
The woman, even as the lioness,
Doth rend and wrest apart, with eager strife,
The link of wedded life?

Doch des Mann's überkeck
Frechen Sinn, wer spricht ihn aus?

Wer des Weib's argen tollkühnen Muth,
Dies allfreche Buhlen

Löst ja bei Thieren und Menschen das Weib, wenn die Liebe

Liebelos ihr Herz besiegt.
