Lyrics: Thomas Parnell

"When your beauty appears in its graces and airs,
All bright as an angel new dropp'd from the skies;
At distance I gaze, and am aw'd by my fears,
So strangely, so strangely you dazzle my eyes!

But when without art your kind thoughts you impart,
When your love runs in blushes through ev'ry vein,
When it darts from your eyes, when it pants in your heart,
I know you're a woman, a woman again."

"There's a passion and pride in our sex," she replied,
"And thus, might I gratify both, I would do;
An angel appear to each lover beside,
But still be a woman, a woman to you."
