| Discerning Mr Murphy sees | B |
| The dangers of the foolish plan | C |
| Of giving frailty its fees | B |
| And taxing weak misguided man | C |
| Reluctantly and red with shame | D |
| He tells of girls depraved who may | E |
| Take up the old maternal game | D |
| On business lines and make it pay | E |
| If only foolish magistrates | F |
| Will give them rather higher rates | F |

| An extra bob or two a head | G |
| Will shatter virtue's final guard | H |
| The tax on bachelors would spread | G |
| A baby farm in every yard | H |
| To populate our empty lands | I |
| Bring black or brown across the seas | B |
| From Hindu Jap or coral strands | I |
| But lighten not the penalties | B |
| For bearing babes Such clemence vile | J |
| Might make it worth a woman's while | J |
