Fire hath its force abated by water, not by wind and anger must be allayed by cold words, and not by blustering threats.
Anne Bradstreet
I am obnoxious to each carping tongue/ Who says my hand a needle better fits./ A poet's pen all scorn I should thus wrong/ For such despite they cast on female wits/ If what I do prove well, it won't advance,/ They'll say it's stolen, or else, it was by chance.

Anne Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
Anne Bradstreet
When I behold the heavens as in their prime, And then the earth (though old) still clad in green, The stones and trees, insensible of time, Nor age nor wrinkle on their front are seen
Anne Bradstreet
Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are.
Anne Bradstreet
If what I do prove well, it won't advance. They'll say it's stolen, or else it was by chance.
Anne Bradstreet
To sing of Wars, of Captains, and of Kings/Of Cities founded, Common-wealths begun/For my mean Pen are too superior things.
Anne Bradstreet
