Whose very name, Loridon, seemed an admission

He was formed to adore, but then what’s in a name?

Had they christened him Jack, she’d have “loved him the same,”

Because—mark the reason—her Pa had been rude

To his Guv’nor, which led to a family feud.

So the Lord Lettelhausen called up his son Loridon,

And exclaimed, “Of all girls, to have fixed on that horrid one!

The daughter, you scamp, of the man I detest!

But I’ll never consent! if I do, I’ll be—blest!

Miss Yolenta, indeed! why, my garters and stars!
