First Line: OH, GIVE ME GOOD MOTHERS! YEA, GREAT, GLAD MOTHERS
Last Line: "DID EXULT IN FULFILLING THE PURPOSE OF GOD."
Subject(s): MOTHERS;
"Oh, give me good mothers! Yea, great, glad mothers,
Proud mothers of dozens, indeed twice ten;
Fair mothers of daughters and mothers of men,
With old-time clusters of sisters and brothers,
When grand Greeks lived like to gods, and when
Brave mothers of men, strong breasted and broad,
Did exult in fulfilling the purpose of God."
