beauty by abraham cowley - robert newton lyrics

liberal nature did dispence
to all things arms for their defence;
and some she arms with sin’ewy force
and some with swiftness in the course;
some with hard hoofs, or forked claws
and some with h*rns, or tusked jaws
and some with scales, and some with wings
and some with t**th, and some with stings
wisdom to man she did afford
wisdom for shield, and wit for sword
what to beauteous woman*kind
what arms, what armour has she’assigne’d?
beauty is both; for with the faire
what arms, what armour can compare?
what steel, what gold, or diamond
more impassible is found?
and yet what flame, what lightning ere
so great an activе force did bear?
they arе all weapon, and they dart
like porcupines from every part
who can, alas, their strength express
arm’d when they themselves undress
cap a pe* with nakedness?
