A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands

A lover may be a shadowy creature, but husbands are made of flesh and blood

Some of them lived as men. A lot of the time they would follow their husbands, lovers or family members into the war.

Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.
