| And hose well kept a world too slack | B |
| So long and lean thou wert allied | A |
| It struck me with that curious back | B |
| The Zoo giraffe Thy brow was black | B |
| Thy speech was awkward action slow | C |
| I whispered at thy first attack | B |
| And wherefore art thou Romeo | C |

| Thou wert then fifty and cross eyed | A |
| For acting never hadst the knack | B |
| With stilted bow and Irving stride | A |
| Thou tookst the stage and Jill and Jack | B |
| Both sniggered when with damned clack | B |
| Thou talkedst of moons and wrecked the show | C |
| And here by Heaven thou art back | B |
| Oh wherefore art thou Romeo | C |

| This fellow was a lad of pride | A |
| No prinked out fool with just a snack | B |
| Of bounder and by Fate allied | A |
| To pale effeminates who smack | B |
| The rouge about Thou art a quack | B |
| Thy treatment brings the lover low | C |
| Thou rt living still our hearts to crack | B |
| Oh wherefore art thou Romeo | C |

| No egotism dost thou lack | B |
| Great scorn hast for the rival pro | C |
| And talk st thou of thy art Alack | B |
| And wherefore art thou Romeo | C |
