SHELF DECEPTION by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: ON VIRTUE ALL MY SOUL IS BENT
Last Line: AND MAKE MYSELF AN HONEST WOMAN.
Subject(s): BOOKS; SOUL; READING;
ON virtue all my soul is bent,
For though to err is surely human,
Some day (quite soon) I will repent,
Return the books that I've been lent,
And make myself an honest woman.
