Elizabeth Thomas was a British poet born in London. She was self-educated and was dependent on her patrons for financial support. She was active in literary circles and often used sarcasm to help emphasize her themes. Her books include Miscellany Poems on Several Subjects and Metamorphosis of the Town.
‘The Forsaken Wife’ by E. Thomas: A scorned wife asserts her dignity and moral superiority over her unfaithful husband, embracing her truth.
Methinks, ’tis strange you can’t afford
One pitying look, one parting word;
Humanity claims this as due,
But what’s humanity to you?
