50 Lashes Later
The slave is insolent;
50 lashes later he is contrite.
The slave is indolent;
50 lashes later he is industrious.
The slave is incompetent;
50 lashes later he is efficient.
The slave’s astray;
50 lashes later he is to heel.
Such is the power of the female lash;
Such the effect of the whip’s gash.
