MADRIGAL, by CHARLES COTTONPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: To be a whore, despite of grace Last Line: Good counsel and an ugly face. Subject(s): Prostitution; Harlots; Whores; Brothels
To be a whore, despite of grace, Good counsel and an ugly face, And to distribute still the pox, To men of wit Will seem a kind of paradox; And yet Thou art a whore, despite of grace, Good counsel and an ugly face.
