Affair Made Public Poem by Ima Ryma

Alexander Hamilton be
A Founding Father but also
An unfaithful husband was he,
As his Reynolds affair did show.
Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds schemed
To get Hamilton to pursue
An affair, and the Reynolds teamed
To extort from Hamilton who
Paid hush money until his fling
Was made public and Hamilton
Made confession to ev'rything
In a hundred page booklet done.

'Reynolds Pamphlet, ' Hamilton wrote,
His sex scandal in detailed note.
