The Miller's Tale ( Pushkin Sonnet )

Young housewives—dark thrills inspire them;
but, when pressed for action doth feign      
virtue against a parish man,      
while bedding a more nobler Cane.      
Ye husbands! heed this chronicle!        
When deceit doth snake full circle        
seeking to utterly deceive,      
truth can be too hard to believe.        
The poor husband, an innocent,      
reputable among town folk,        
unwittingly becomes a joke      
in the sinner's moral dissent!      
The husband prays for a godsend;      
The parishioner! He's a friend.
