To a loose woman Matches base text
Language: English
My dear, your face is lovely, And you have lovely eyes, I do not cavil at your life, But only at your lies. You are not brave, You are not wild, You merely ride the crest of fashion; Ambition is your special ware And you have dared to call it passion.
