Alexandrian Sonnet 24



The wiles and guiles that women work
Dissembled with an outward show
The tricks and toys that in them luck
The cock that treads them shall not know1.
Those gone through women's work are to be blamed
For not overcoming their weakness, the flesh.
But that it's always through women, women I will chide
And upon their every wiling acts blush.
That my mom is a woman, I sucked her breast
And Blessed Virgin Mary the sample of virtue;
I will praise the saints and scold every beast
In angel's apparel and their maneuvers construe.
If 'ubi multitudio, ubi pecata2' is applicable to women's life,
Then, what fate shall he embrace, he with more than one wife?
