DEFIANCE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THOUGH THE MODERN WOMAN PANTS
Last Line: MAKES THE BREECHES WIDER.
Subject(s): CLOTHING & DRESS; WOMEN;

Though the modern woman @3pants@1
To disguise her gender,
Yet no fear my spirits haunts
Lest I should offend her.

Vain it were indeed to hiss --
Vainer still to chide her;
The @3hit@1 offends her, and the @3Miss@1
Makes the breeches wider.
