Thomas Hardy, Aren'T You Yourself The Mayor Of Casterbridge? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Thomas Hardy, aren't you yourself
The mayor of Casterbridge
Who sold his wife
In a fit of drunkenness
Rather than the others
Which you talk of falsely?

Hardy, married you again
In your old age
A very young girl
Just lesser than your half the age,
Made her sacrifice for you
And you lapsed in the memories
Of your first dead wife
With whom you had a tidy affair.

Hardy, none but you yourself are
The mayor of Casterbridge
Who sold his wife
In a fit of drunkenness,
None, none but you yourself
Are that fellow and character
Of your novel
Which you talk of.
