Her Elegy
“Innocent Syphilus?
He is debaucherous!”
Exploded his wife
In dismal grief!!
Avidly lecherous
Became cunning and treacherous
His lascivious play
Was his plaintive lay!
His ‘unusual canker’
Was in fact a genital chancre,
The randy Syphilus
Had contracted syphilis!
The acne on his face
Brought him disgrace
For it extended beyond the chin
And all over the skin.
Because of the sins of Syphilus
The mirth from her life vanished!
Tell me, tell me O Jesus!
Why was she atrociously punished?
