Tefkir Name. - For Woman Due
By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For woman due allowance make!
Form'd of a crooked rib was she,
By Heaven she could not straightened be.
Attempt to bend her, and she'll break;
If left alone, more crooked grows madam;
What well could be worse, my good friend, Adam?
For woman due allowance make;
'Twere grievous, if thy rib should break!
