THE MAN WHO STICKS
You say that you are blue, gentle lover.
You say that the maiden is GOV;
Now don't take to cups of cold poison
Bntmacte-vlrtute, old boy.
Walk, talk with her, ply her with poses,
Haunt her steps like dog or dun,
And al last she will list to your woolng

Perseverance will conquer in all things.
You learned that in school long ago,
And she'll marry you sooner or later,
just to see you less often, you know.

of new style, warranted not to lose, hairpins."
