<h2>THE WOMAN-HATER REFORMED</h2>
<h3>BY ROY FARRELL GREENE</h3>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">He said to sue for maiden's heart<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And hand required too much of art<br/></span>
<span class="i0">In framing phrases, making pleas,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And swearing vows on bended knees<br/></span>
<span class="i0">"Till death (or court decree) doth part."<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">One's oh, so apt to get the cart<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Before the horse, and at the start<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Break down. It's torture by degrees,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">He said, to sue!<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Yet when sweet Susan, coy but smart,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Safe landed him, and Cupid's dart<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Went through his breast as through a cheese,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And pierced his heart with perfect ease,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">He—well, I'll not the words impart<br/></span>
<span class="i2">He said to Sue!<br/></span>
