| 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 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 |

| Of bounder and by Fate allied | A |
| To pale effeminates who smack | B |

| And talk st thou of thy art Alack | B |
| And wherefore art thou Romeo | C |
