But alas! Aspasia no mercy need expect;
Her Pericles lionized, but none her worth detect!
And as for poor Thargelia none will take her part;
She lives a social outcast, with broken, bleeding heart;
But each base seducer, in our social plan.
Makes poor, trusting woman bear the sins of Man!
Many men are now misjudged, and meet an awful fate,
Whose innocence is published, but alas, it is too late!
Many, too, are breathing freedom's precious air
Whose vile conduct merits prison dress and fare.
