The Kates of Shakespeare and of song
Have fair and dainty features;
But she I stake my hopes upon
Excels those lovely creatures.
From Keats she takes her name so dear,
She lives on steaks and honey:
She cannot skate, but she can steer,
And Madeline has money.

The words in italics have the same letters.

My first your bosom friend, or man or maid,
Whom you can trust, secure and unafraid.
My second, sounded double, tells of fate,
Or sounded single puts an end to hate.
My whole a hall’s arched roof, or soft or hard,
That lies beyond the gate with ivory barr’d.
