(When Literary.)

I had a brutal husband, as is our sex's doom,

I put him in a problem-novel; then I made it boom!

I bought a little "Log-roller" who twaddled up and down,

Discovered it, and slavered it, and made it take the town.

But meaner beauties of my sex declared I wore blue hose,

And at my Gospel of Revolt cocked each a pretty nose.
