As SAMSON snapped at sight?
See how she purrs, false puss! She deems her _dot_ May well out-glitter mine. And he! That slow seductive smile I know. At Cronstadt by the brine, To that dear dulcet voice, not long ago, My ears did I incline. Ah! and those fine moustachios' conquering curl Subdued my maiden heart. For me those tendril-tips he'd twist and twirl, Looking so gay, so smart; And now he does it for another girl, And I--I stand apart. Did I not give my heart to him--false one!-- And also--well, my "stocking"? Nor after her "commercial" charms he'll run, My modest beauties mocking. Hist! I believe of me they're making fun! _O Ciel_! 'tis simply shocking! Hist! I can hear her, the sly cat. How fond Her glances bold and bright! Her bag is brimming, mine's a broken bond. I dreamed not me he'd slight For such mere bagman beauty, tamely blonde, But--ah! _was_ BLOWITZ right? |
