Quote by Alexander Pope
Let sinful bachelors their woes deplore; full well they merit all they feel, and more: unaw by precepts, human or divine, like birds and beasts, promiscuously they join.
Summary
This quote suggests that unmarried individuals who engage in sinful behavior have no right to complain about the consequences they face. It argues that they deserve the negative outcomes they experience and even deserve more of them. These individuals are portrayed as being ignorant of or disregarding both human and divine teachings and, like animals, they engage in sexual relations indiscriminately. The quote implies that by engaging in sinful behavior without considering moral or ethical principles, these individuals are responsible for their own hardships.
