’Twas just because I sought and found,
In Rialto’s “swell” gallants,
The opposites and complements
For whom my spirit pants....
O comrade of Rialto’s halls
Of nineties of century past—
Should’st read these lines, some former pal,
“Jennie June” remembered hast;
Now after twenty-six years,
I hail thee with heartfelt greeting;
