AY 'twas here on this spotB
In that summer of yoreC
Atalanta did notB
Vote my presence a boreC
Nor reply to my tenderest talk She hadD
heard all that nonsense beforeC
-
She'd the brooch I had boughtB
And the necklace and sash onE
And her heart as I thoughtF
Was alive to my passionG
And she'd done up her hair in the style thatH
the Empress had brought into fashionG
-
I had been to the playI
With my pearl of a PeriC
But for all I could sayI
She declared she was wearyC
That the place was so crowded and hot andJ
she couldn't abide that DundrearyC
-
Then I thought Lucky boyK
'Tis for YOU that she whimpersI
And I noted with joyK
Those sensational simpersI
And I said This is scrumptious aL
phrase I had learned from the Devonshire shrimpersI
-
And I vowed 'Twill be saidM
I'm a fortunate fellowN
When the breakfast is spreadM
When the topers are mellowN
When the foam of the bride cake is whiteO
and the fierce orange blossoms are yellowN
-
O that languishing yawnP
O those eloquent eyesI
I was drunk with the dawnP
Of a splendid surmiseI
I was stung by a look I was slain by a tearC
by a tempest of sighsI
-
Then I whispered I seeI
The sweet secret thou keepestO
And the yearning for MEI
That thou wistfully weepestO
And the question is 'License or Banns '-
though undoubtedly Banns are the cheapestO
-
Be my Hero said IQ
And let ME be LeanderC
But I lost her replyQ
Something ending with ganderC
For the omnibus rattled so loud that noN
mortal could quite understand herC
