"Though all is lost, and subjugated Spain
Lies bleeding at the footstool of a king,
I yet would live, for this young cherub's sake:--
Yet what infuses his mind unstain'd and pure?
Nurtur'd in venal, sycophantic schools--
Eras'd each sterling virtue of the soul--
Debas'd--new coin'd in flattery's servile mint,
He may become a pander to a prince.
Ah!--thus to see Don Juan's son enslaved,
Shocks more than death in its most frightful form.
O guard him, angels--guard him, powers supreme,
From the contagion of each vulgar vice,
Or the more splendid guilt that stalks in courts!--

"And pray, why not Madam, said an old gentleman who had listened attentively to this loquacious harangue, why may not a woman if she has leisure and genius, take up her pen to gratify both herself and friends. I am not ashamed to acknowledge that I have perused the productions of some of our female pens, with the highest satisfaction; and am happy when I find any woman has so large a fund of amusement in her own mind. I never heard a woman who was fond of her pen complain of the tediousness of time; nor, did I ever know such a woman extravagantly fond of dress, public amusements, or expensive gaiety; yet, I have seen many women of genius prove themselves excellent mothers, wives, and daughters.
