That's noble! That's romantic! For my part,
I think that "Philo-genitiveness" is—
(Now here's a word quite after my own heart,
Though there's a shorter a good deal than this,
If that politeness set it not apart;
But I'm resolved to say nought that's amiss)—
I say, methinks that "Philo-genitiveness"[627]
Might meet from men a little more forgiveness.

And now to business.—O my gentle Juan!
