Sensibility is a virtue men all too often cry about,

Like Bunyan’s self-pity and overbearing doubt;

Seeing women experiencing God is too much for him to bear,

He should learn to live like Pepys, who wouldn’t give a care;

Fantomina may use flawless disguises and impersonations as a trap,

But if Swift was there ala “Lady’s Dressing Room,” he could smell right through all her crap;

Equiano like Fantomina, may have been proven to be an imposter,

A subject the Blue Stockings would have discussed over their cups and saucers;

“A Beautiful Young Nymph” depicts women in the most deplorable profession,

But had they only listened to Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” they would be freed from the oppression;

Enough babies to cure overpopulation, poverty, and hunger,

The only thing it won’t help, is making these Nymphs look any younger;

Samuel Johnson’s Rasselas offers little answers as a genuine moral tale,

So do not hope for a conclusion, for which there is no avail;

So if you really want to find happiness, look it up in Johnson’s dictionary,

Or for a modern day approach, at least google it at wiktionary
