William Cowper - On Female Inconstancy (From The Greek)
Work rating: Low

Rich, thou hadst many lovers -- poor, hast none,
So surely want extinguishes the flame,
And she who call`d thee once her pretty one,
And her Adonis, now inquires thy name.

Where wast thou born, Socicrates, and where,
In what strange country can thy parents live,
Who seem`st, by thy complaints, not yet aware
That want`s a crime no woman can forgive?
