The Real
Saint Valentine

Saint Valentine was a dear old saint
And he lived long ago, long ago.
His gait was queer and his sarb was
quaint;
His virtues were strong and his vices
faint:
And he never was known to make come
plant
When a pessimist trOd on his toe.
So they made him saint in the good
old days
When saints were as plenty as Aeasi
And he wore halo with nineteen rays
With one-piece cassock of purple
baize
Which he changed at night, SO the
record says,
For psiamas Japanese.
Though he knew no Greek he could
Latin speak
| AS easy as English l.;
For he lived in Rome, in Il dwelling
meek
| Not far from the Tiber's muddy creek,
| Where he studied art in the real antique,
| And likewise Theology.
/ Well, he pondered one day in his pious
4 old pate,
/ AS he strolled through the Capitol
4 green.
i On the sparrow that perched on the
4 Pincian gate
i And discovered that birds are expected
4 to mate
i On the very unreasona5ly early date
4 OF February fourteen.
L And he argued il birds on that morn
i ing will WOO
/ AS he found that they did without
i Why shouldn't ladies and gents" their
II example pursue;
II On Feb'y fourteenth all their spring
Il courtins do,
Il And to dodge any scandal just do it all
i The Special Delivery MaiIP
Il Now that is exactly what Valentine did:
Il He loaded the postman with love;
II And SO smoothly his hand DER the
II billets -doux slid
il That from many bosom he lifted the lid
Il While Dan Cupid laughed loud, the i'm.
il pertinent kid,
Il As ne futtered the inkstand above.
4 He mailed Cleopatra an eloquent note
The poor dear believed it from
Il To Sappho sonnet he had to devote,
I Sent Queen Bess charade by the first
II London boat.
Il While to Lucretia Borsia a lyric he
III wrote
Il And rondeau to Joan of Arc.
4 With comics galore he set Rome in a.
81 roar;
There were senators sasping for
4 breath
4 Even Cicero smiled and the Pope was
81 beeuiled,
But he tickled poor Pompey to death.
4 Well, he died long ago-as't is right you
4 should know
Il And his relics are resting at ease,
81 In hand-paineed shrine, like big
4 valentine.
81 In the Chapel of St. Praxades
II So I've told to you now what l think
z you'll allow
81 Isn't found in the latest Who's Who:
4 And it reads just as well. one may
81 readily tell,
!, As it would If the story were true.
Il Yet adorable Saint in my praise or my

81 My patron forever thou'lt be;
I'll And whenever | woo-and it's no mat.
