The weaker sex, to piety more prone.

The moving finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.

-Fitzgerald, Edward

Menalwaystry tomake virtues oftheir weaknesses.Fear of death and fear of life become piety.

My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.

-Wordsworth,William
