Adultery -- Ad Absurdum
by: Richard Le Gallienne (1866-1947)


I SAW a little burnished fly
Within my Mistress' bodice lie,
Sipping lovely stolen sweets
From her ample rosy teats.
'Small adulterer,' said I,
'Dost thou know where thou dost lie?
''Tis my lady's bosom fine,
'And thou dost sip what is not thine.'

"Adultery--Ad Absurdum" is reprinted from Poetica Erotica. Ed. T.R. Smith. New York: Crown Publishers, 1921.
