The Fifteen Plagues of a Maidenhead is a collection of erotic poetry on maidenhead.
The Eighth Plague.
- Now I am young, blind Cupid me bewitches,
- I scratch my Belly, for it always itches,
- And what it itches for, I've told before,
- 'Tis either to be Wife, or be a Whore;
- Nay any thing indeed, would be poor I,
- N'er Maiden-heads upon my Hands should lie,
- Which till I lose, I'm sure my watry Eyes
- Will pay to Love so great a Sacrifice,
- That my Carcass soon will weep out all its Juice,
- Till grown so dry, as fit for no Man's use.
-- MADAM B[RAN]LE, 1707 via [1]
