This is rather cooler than dancing,

They’re lovely piazzas up here;

Those lanterns look sweet in the bushes,

It’s lucky the night is so clear.

I am rather tired of this corner—

Very well, if you like, I don’t care—

But you’ll have to sit on the railing—

You see there is only one chair.

So long since you’ve seen me!—Oh! ages—

Let’s see, why it’s ten days ago.
