"Yet without a degree see how well the Sex knows How to bind up our wounds and to lighten our woes! They need no Doctor's gown their fair limbs to enwrap, They need ne'er hide their locks in a Graduate's cap. Then I wonder a woman, the Mistress of Hearts, Would descend to aspire to be Master of Arts: A Ministering Angel in Woman we see, And an Angel should covet no other Degree."
