Last Line: Be so — ashamed of Thee
Subject(s): WOMEN;
What Soft - Cherubic Creatures -

One would as soon assault a Plush -
Or violate a Star -

Such Dimity Convictions -
A Horror so refined
Of freckled Human Nature -
Of Deity - ashamed -

A Fisherman's - Degree -
Redemption - Brittle Lady -
Be so - ashamed of Thee
