QUERIES TO CAUISTS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The moralists tell us that loving is sinning
Last Line: Pray who would there be to defend or dispute it?
Alternate Author Name(s): Byron, Lord; Byron, 6th Baron
Subject(s): Love


THE Moralists tell us that Loving is Sinning,
And always are prating about and about it,
But as Love of Existence itself's the beginning,
Say, what would Existence itself be without it?

They argue the point with much furious Invective,
Though perhaps 't were no difficult task to confute it;
But if Venus and Hymen should once prove defective,
Pray who would there be to defend or dispute it?
