Smoke without fire

Any woman of repute,

however it might happen

that she was close with a man

of her choice or liking,

will not throw away her

fame, name and virtue,

and have her husband cuckolded,

to commit the crime

and to reap the shame

and stand ever scathed.

But the world refuses to believe.

The scandal spreads like fire.

A smoke without fire.
