Moonlight evening-shady grove
Two young people much in love;
Heroine with great wealth endowed,
Hero handsome. poor and proud;
Truth eternal-hearts united
Vows of changeless passions plighted;

Obstacles to be surmounted,
Happy hours pass by uncounted;
Ugly rival, old and stale,
Overhears the tender tale.

Mixed with old mans exccrations.
Exit lover midst the din;
