'O miracle of women,' said the book,'O noble heart who, being strait-besiegedBy this wild king to force her to his wish,Nor bent, nor broke, nor shunned a soldier's death,But now when all was lost or seemed as lost—Her stature more than mortal in the burstOf sunrise, her arm lifted, eyes on fire—Brake with a blast of trumpets from the gate,And, falling on them like a thunderbolt,She trampled some beneath her horses' heels,And some were whelmed with missiles of the wall,And some were pushed with lances from the rock,And part were drowned within the whirling brook:O miracle of noble womanhood!'

The Princess is a serio-comic blank verse narrative poem, written by Alfred Tennyson, published in 1847. Tennyson was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1850 to 1892 and remains one of the most popular English poets. The poem tells the story of an heroic princess who forswears the world of men and founds a women's university where men are forbidden to enter. The prince to whom she was betrothed in infancy enters the university with two friends, disguised as women students. They are discovered and flee, but eventually they fight a battle for the princess's hand. They lose and are wounded, but the women nurse the men back to health. Eventually the princess returns the prince's love.
