Thou tempting fate.
O such beauty,

Sprawled and spread with legs wide open,

Testing everyone's own love,
Drawing out their hate,
Using their words against them:
Hearts now filled with her contempt.

Ladies, and potential lovers;
In a windy rush
Go, frail as fair, by.
As that lot, gaping at, on
Whose clutch-tempting air
Stride, wing-stepping, nigh.
