The female cranks of high society!

You were the first whom he ignored;

Since in that age (you cant deny it)

The high tone makes us pretty bored.

It happens, though, some noble ladies

Interpret Say and Bentham essays,

But on the whole, their naïve chat

Is insupportable, I bet.

Besides, they are so chaste and pure,

So strict in judgment and exact,

Full of devotion and respect

That make me feeling sick and poor.

In front of them I feel so mean,

Just viewing those produces spleen.
