And , hiding daggers in my heart , With smiles I dressed my face . I won the love , the fond pure love , ' Of a fair , lowly girl—I lured her from a happy home .
Then cast to swine—the pearl . Like the dark Upas-tree , I spread My arms , and offered Bhade—Oh ! hide me from the hideous change My specious shelter made ! I ' ve seen her since—Oh , horrid sight ! Once Hebe—now a hag—Go , sum my crimes , my curses , up—But think—I was a fag *
Where are the men who teach of Christ , When thus dire evil rules ? Come from your peaceful pulpits , sirs , And purify the schools . Where are the mothers when their sons Are plunged in this black tide ,
Where the young spirits struggle till In sin they ' re trebly dyed ? Shame on the sex who sit supine On life ' s all erring stage—Rise , mothers , rise , with heart and hand , And purify the age .
