My tuneless meters halting ran, My rhymes were not impeccable, For then l knew not how to scan Ballade, rondeau and villanelle. But when my young affections turned To my first love, sweet Amsbel. longed for better things and learned Balla6e, rondeau and villanelle. And when my fckle fancy changed To Edith, Lena, Kate and Nell In the same groove my verses ranged Ballade, rondeau and yillanelle. Then as In turn each passion waned In turn it's lyrics I would sell, And many little check they've gained Ballade, rondeau and yillanelle. And though find resting place Wherein my heart shall constant dwell, Still sing to my lady's grace Ballade, rondeau and yillanelle. And, last, by Lethe's water wan And through the meads of asphodel My ghost will ring the changes on Ballade, rondeau and villanelle.
