" Man's timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say, For the Woman that God gave him isn't his to give away; But when hunter meets with husband, each confirms the other's tale – The female of the species is more deadly than the male. from the poem, The Female Of The Species, by Rudyard Kipling, published 1911 "
