By
John Donne.
Some have their wives, their sisters some begot,
But
in the lives of Emperours you shall not
Reade of a lust the which may
equall this;
This wolfe begot himselfe, and finished
What he began alive, when hee was dead;
Sonne to himselfe,
and father too, hee is
A ridling lust, for which Schoolemen would misse
A proper name. The whelpe of both these lay
In Abels tent, and
with soft Moaba,
His sister, being young, it us'd to sport and play.
