English poem
EPIGRAM IX. On one who first abused, and then made love to a LADY
by Anonymous
Foul — with graceless verse, The noble — dar'd asperse. But when he saw her well bespatter'd, Her reputation stain'd and tatter'd; He gaz'd and lov'd the hideous elf, She look'd so very like himself. True sung the bard well known to fame, Self-love and social are the same.
