Adultery—Ad Absurdum
By Richard Le Gallienne (1866–1947)
 
I SAW a little burnished fly
Within my Mistress’ bodice lie,
Sipping lovely stolen sweets
From her ample rosy teats.
 
‘Small adulterer,’ said I,        5
‘Dost thou know where thou dost lie?
‘’Tis my lady’s bosom fine,
‘And thou dost sip what is not thine.’
