The Fifteen Plagues of a Maidenhead is a collection of erotic poetry on maidenhead.

In 1707, James Read and Angell Carter of England are found guilty by the Queen's Bench of publishing The Fifteen Plagues of a Maidenhead but not sentenced (eroticabibliophile).

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]
