OH! YE LORDS OF THE CREATION!
Oh! ye lords of the creation!
As you please yourselves to style,
Whilst neglecting no temptation,
Which weak woman may beguile;
In successful art exulting,
Of your conquest making boast,
And ungenerously insulting
Those you have deceived the most.
As you please yourselves to style,
Whilst neglecting no temptation,
Which weak woman may beguile;
In successful art exulting,
Of your conquest making boast,
And ungenerously insulting
Those you have deceived the most.
Ye who take our sex to task,
Are we not provoked to ask,
Ever since the world began
Has there ever been one constant man?
Yes, in Eden, I believe
Adam faithful was to Eve;
But, as we are all aware,
There was no other woman there!
Are we not provoked to ask,
Ever since the world began
Has there ever been one constant man?
Yes, in Eden, I believe
Adam faithful was to Eve;
But, as we are all aware,
There was no other woman there!
