By the way,
The works of women are symbolical.

Producing what? A pair of slippers, sir,
To put on when you're weary--or a stool
To tumble over and vex you . . . curse that stool!
Or else at best, a cushion where you lean
And sleep, and dream of something we are not,
But would be for your sake. Alas, alas!
This hurts most, this . . . that, after all, we are paid
The worth of our work, perhaps.

Don't worry and fret, faint-hearted,

For the best jobs haven't been started,
The best work hasn't been done.
