Miss Guinevere Platt	A
Was so beautiful that	A
She couldn't remember the day	B
When one of her swains	C
Hadn't taken the pains	C
To send her a mammoth bouquet	B
And the postman had found	D
On the whole of his round	D
That no one received such a lot	E
Of bulky epistles	C
As waiting his whistles	C
The beautiful Guinevere got	E
	-
A significant sign	F
That her charm was divine	F
Was seen in society when	G
The chaperons sniffed	H
With their eyebrows alift	H
Whatever's got into the men	G
There was always a man	I
Who was holding her fan	I
And twenty that danced in details	C
And a couple of mourners	C
Who brooded in corners	C
And gnawed their mustaches and nails	C
	-
John Jeremy Platt	H
Wouldn't stay in the flat	H
For his beautiful daughter he missed	H
When he'd taken his tub	J
He would hie to his club	J
And dally with poker or whist	H
At the end of a year	K
It was perfectly clear	K
That he'd never computed the cost	H
For he hadn't a penny	L
To settle the many	L
Ten thousands of dollars he'd lost	H
	-
F Ferdinand Fife	M
Was a student of life	M
He was coarse and excessively fat	H
With a beard like a goat's	C
But he held all the notes	C
Of ruined John Jeremy Platt	H
With an adamant smile	N
That was brimming with guile	N
He said I am took with the face	C
Of your beautiful daughter	O
And wed me she ought ter	O
To save you from utter disgrace	C
	-
Miss Guinevere Platt	H
Didn't hesitate at	H
Her duty's imperative call	P
When they looked at the bride	H
All the chaperons cried	H
She isn't so bad after all	P
Of the desolate men	G
There were something like ten	G
Who took up political lives	C
And the flower of the flock	Q
Went and fell off a dock	Q
And the rest married hideous wives	C
	-
But the beautiful wife	M
Of F Ferdinand Fife	M
Was the wildest that ever was known	R
She'd grumble and glare	S
Till the man didn't dare	S
To say that his soul was his own	R
She sneered at his ills	C
And quadrupled his bills	C
And spent nearly twice what he earned	H
Her husband deserted	H
And frivoled and flirted	H
Till Ferdinand's reason was turned	H
	-
He repented too late	H
And his terrible fate	H
Upon him so heavily sat	H
That he swore at the day	H
When he sat down to play	H
At cards with John Jeremy Platt	H
He was dead in a year	K
And the fair Guinevere	K
In society sparkled again	G
While the chaperons fluttered	H
Their fans as they muttered	H
She's getting exceedingly plain	T
	-
	-
The Moral Predicaments often are found	H
That beautiful duty is apt to get round	H
But greedy extortioners better beware	K
For dutiful beauty is apt to get square	K
