Unless it be a Cockney sparrow's.
Alas, the Truthful never wooed
The Beautiful to fashion Cupid:
But, in some sympathetic mood,
Perhaps the Ugly wooed the Stupid.
Is Cupid nervous? Not a bit;
Love seeks no mortal approbation.
Stalls, boxes, gallery, and pit
May hiss or cheer the transformation.
Mamma looks anxious and afraid
