HENRY ANA - THE CRUCIBLE ARD ye may be in the tumult, Red to your battle hilts, Blow give for blow in the foray, Cunningly ride in the tilts But when the roaring is ended, Tenderly, un beguiled, Turn to a woman a womans Heart, and a childs to a child. Test of the man, if his worth be In accord with the ultimate plan, That he be not, to his marring, Always and utterly man That he bring out of the tumult, Fitter and undefiled, To a woman the heart of a woman, To children the heart of a child. 0.

But when the battle is over Marvel and wonder the while Give to a woman a womans Heart, and a childs to a child.
