Synopsis
Excerpt from A Woman Sold, and Other Poems
But say, to put the least, You, the Miss Vaughan we men agree to think Worth anyhow such common reverence As good girls like our sisters have from us That you were bought like any lower thing Our Croesus fancies, like the horse that won The Derby last, the picture of the year, The best bred pointer, or the costliest ring; You bought by such a buyer, a cold fool Whose very vices, like his polished airs, His tastes and small-talk, were acquired by dint Of callous perseverance; one who'll own, With a feigned yawn, he's something bored with life, Meaning by life stale sins and selfishness.
