EPITAPH FOR A WOMAN-HATER by HENRY HARRISON

First Line: YOU SHUNNED ENCHANTING WOMEN MOST
Last Line: THAT YOU HAD FOUND.
Subject(s): MISOGYNY;
You shunned enchanting women most.
For others all you bore was hate.
Some brutal whim of Madam Fate
Has bade you sleep among a host
Of wily women -- who surround
This haven of escape you thought
That you had found.
