The Passage:
"..beauty's but a painted fly
if to keep a man you wish
charm's the hidden mystery
that will hook your fish.."
To The Damsel:
a man is normal if he delights on you-
beauty is but a beer made better through brew.
you should also know, however, it also common
all things must end, thus an expiration.
''love'' should end as beauty should end
if you hooked him only with youthful amusement;
as it fade away you can do nothing but wave bye-
for men feast on beauty with their eye.
To The Captive:
soon reality will prick you
showing colors and taints that is true;
thy love will be a cliff on a fog-
only you would know when you were dragged.
