MEN THAT HAVE STRENGTH, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Men that have strength to rule their sex
Last Line: What are they but our strong men's slaves?
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.


Men that have strength to rule their sex
Leave women still unmoved;
Men that by women are preferred --
By that strange sex adored and loved --
Will rise by neither deed nor word.

When women's dainty heroes are
Conferring with strong men,
They sit in fear, as dumb as graves;
So, ladies, your sweet darlings, then --
What are they but our strong men's slaves?
