So I steal not.

Lust is untenable

To be stolen of, I want not;
To be beaten up, I want not;
So I beat not.

To be a cuckold, I want not;
But I cuckold.

Lust is untenable

A consumptive Coolie's gossamer daughter

A tattered coolie who was born in a leap year that comes home after a strenuous day's work?
He loves his coquetry daughter.
Her mother has disappeared when she was an infant.
He thinks that he has to make a cordon to protect her from the ruffian the apothecary's son.
His wife eloped through this rickety fence and he is scared of his precious daughter's future.
He dreams one day his daughter goes right of the passage with rituals.
But who knows and how long this skeleton survives with his sing-song?

Have Some Ethics

Cheat but not the innocent.
Beat but not the weak one.
Praise but not for a fevour.
Flirt but cuckold not your known

Compare to judge

What, if a bride is found not a virgin?
Don’t we desire to play a paramour?
Don’t we lust to make one a cuckold?
She is not poor in taste for that.

The valour of man.

To hunt, to corner, to trap, to elope,
To cuckold, to paramour and to keep
Demands an uncommon masculine valour,
Which you and I lack but deride who’ve got.

He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater that does not marry a fool; what is wit in a wife good for, but to make a man a cuckold?

Cowards, more a threat

To poison is crueler than to stab.
To betray is harsher than to assault.
To exploit is eviler than to snatch.
To cuckold is sinner than to elope.
The cowards are more a threat.

Out of jealousy

I am police.
You cannot have affairs;
You cannot go for consensual sex.
You cannot access the whore;
You cannot paramour,
You cannot cuckold;
You cannot elope;
You cannot possess blue films.
You cannot pursue a woman.
I will arrest you,
Not for the sake of the victim
But out of jealousy for you

Little Joke

Stripping an almond tree in flower
The wise apothecary's skill
A single drop of lethal power
From perfect sweetness can distill

From bitterness in efflorescence,
With murderous poisons packed therein;
The poet draws pellucid essence
Pure as a drop of metheglin.

Who is Responsible?

Who are responsible for corruption:
The people or the Government?
Both but the latter is the prime accused.
Who are responsible for adultery:
The cuckold or the spouse?
Both but the former is prime accused.
