Poem by Rudyard Kipling

«Epitaphs of the War». 1914-1918. 29. Raped and Revenged

One used and butchered me: another spied 
Me broken—for which thing an hundred died. 
So it was learned among the heathen hosts 
How much a freeborn woman’s favour costs.

1. In the Case of Rukhmibhaio

3. Quaeritur
4. Index Malorum
