Double Standard I And Ii Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Double Standard I
As an alternative to poor matrimony
man can in leaisure live, prefer polygamy,
still pleasure sweet may give through reciprocity,
He deserves to win.

Should e’er in secrecy some white your wife commend
Forswear intimacy! Shun, fright, Sir, strife to send,
for her disloyalty indicts her, life condemned,
She swerves to sin!

Double Standard II
The adage: 'two is company'
applies to you but not to me.
Law? What I bade, not what I do,
for that, my maid, applies to you!
