HOW TO DO A RECHAUFFE
There! dry your eyes, my lass, put on
A pretty costume to surprise him,
Don’t wait till he is really gone!
(Like Ahab did, on Mount Gerizim).
Don’t read “ Félise” or any thing
That naughty Mr Swinburne scribbles ;
The human heart with love enring ;
Don’t dig right into it with dibbles!
Good luck, my lass, you now your way can see!
—I feared she might have taken me to
Replenish the unusual vacancy ;
And I have other things to see to.
