Ce que femme veut Dieu le veut

A man will often strive and fret
To gain his end, and still may fail.
He'll turn to any shift and yet
Find ev'rything of no avail.
But woman knows no door that's shut;
She gains her ends with smaller pains.
God may assist her brother, but
— What woman wishes God ordains.
A man will often have to fight
A hearty battle in life's game;
It helps not, though, if he be right,
He may get vanquished all the same.
But woman does not fight unless
She thinks she has already won.
God may assist her brother, — yes!
But woman's feuds and God's are one.
A man will often lose his heart
To one who has no heart to lose,
And practise every lover's art,
Yet still his lady may refuse.
But when a woman's eyes implore,
Her prey already lies in chains.
No pow'r on earth can save him, for
What woman wishes God ordains. |
