To My Fairer Brethren

THOUGH I score you with my best,Treble circumstanceMust confirm the verdict, lestIt be laid to chance.
Insufficient that I match youEvery coin you flip;Your demand is that I catch youSquarely on the hip.
Should I wear my wreaths a bitRakishly and proud,I have bought my right to it;Let it be allowed.
