But we will lilt our serenade

To bright eyes flashing far,

And drink to Luce who jerks the juice

Behind M‘Whalan’s bar!

WILL YOU LOVE ME THEN?

There’s a new chap born in the world to-day,

And an axe laid close to the root of doubt,

When I hear you speak in that soulful way

Of a love to last till the stars go out——

But, Mignonette!
