THE OPPOSING SEX.

The Widows of Ashur

Are loud in their wailing:

“No longer the‘ masher’

Sees Widows of Ashur!”

So each is a lasher

Of Man's smallest failing.

The Widows of Ashur

Are loud in their wailing.

The Cave of Adullam,

That home of reviling —

No wooing can gull‘ em

In Cave of Adullam.

No angel can lull‘ em

To cease their defiling

The Cave of Adullam,

That home of reviling.

At men they are cursing —

The Widows of Ashur;

Themselves, too, for nursing

The men they are cursing.

The praise they're rehearsing

Of every slasher

At men. They are cursing

The Widows of Ashur.
