Nature has given to each weapon:
Eagle - humpbacked beak and powerful wings,
Bull - its horns, the horse - his hooves,
We hare - fast running, poisonous viper,
Poisoned her tooth. A fish - fins
And finally, a lion claws and fangs.
As a wise man mind she knew how to inspire,
For women of wisdom Nature had
And, having exhausted his power for us,
Gave them the beauty - not the sword and spear.
Previous female beauty we all become powerless.
It is stronger than the gods, humans, fire and steel.
(Pierre de Ronsard)
