Poet Analysis

First Line: SMITH, BY SUIT DIVORCED, THE KNOWN ADULT'RESS
Last Line: TREE EMBRACE, AGAIN THE FATAL HALTER.
Subject(s): DIVORCE;

Freshly weds again; what ails the mad-cap
By this fury? ev'n so thieves by frailty
Of their hemp reserved, again the dismal
Tree embrace, again the fatal halter.@1
