Sybil Fortescue from Astrologaster by Andrea Boccadoro

Sybil Fortescue
Always has what’s new
Far ahead of her friends
She oft gets her hands
On goods from foreign lands
That Captain Fortescue sends

Sybil's a fine host
Of this she will oft boast
She loves to entertain
Though hard she does try
Her dinners go awry
Ending in tears and shame

Sybil is not blessed
For when she tries her best
'Tis then she does her worst
From being over-dressed
To poisoning her guests
Ambitions are her curse

An explorer's wife
Cannot share his life
She is left all alone
Whilst he is at sea
In a way, so's she
Going overboard at home

From a rich lady
What is charity
But a necessary ruse?
'Tis the job of wives
To draw away our eyes
From how riches are accrued

All this energy
For dinners and parties
That never go to plan
Say, can you conceive
Of what could be achieved
If Sybil Fortescue were a man?
