Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Male Harlot?

The poet, William Blake, is said

To have said, "Every harlot was"

"A virgin once." William was wed,

But wanted mistresses becuz

William was a proponent of

Having lots of sex partners in

Even a marriage based on love,

And such should not be deemed a sin.

However, it's said that Blake's wife

Was so distressed at hearing this,

Blake did not wish to cause her strife,

So mistressed not for wedded bliss.

Still, William was a harlot kind,

If not in fact, at least in mind.
