While we're on the subject of Sappho...
(Think of the word "this" as Sappho strumming her lyre between verses; then the scansion will work out correctly.)
Isobel's Sapphic Strophe
This pervert pays her taxes and loves her mother.
This slut’s the best, most open and honest girlfriend.
This exhibitionist is a dirty-minded
girl and a proud one.
