The spleen is seldom felt where Flora reigns; The low'ring eye, the petulance, the frown, And sullen sadness, that o'ershade, distort, And mar the face of beauty, when no cause For such immeasurable woe appears; These Flora banishes, and gives the fair Sweet smiles, and bloom less transient than her own. - William Cowper Hail, wayward Queen! Who rule the sex to fifty from fifteen; Parent of vapors, and of female wit, Who give the hysteric, or poetic fit, On various tempers act by various ways, Make some take physic, others scribble plays: Who cause the proud their visits to delay, And send the godly in a pet to pray. - Alexander Pope
