    By the way,
    The works of women are symbolical.
    We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull out sight,
    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.
