The lady whom my heart believed—oh, laugh!

Noble and pure: whom my heart loved at once,

And who at once did speak truth when she said

'I am not mine now but another's'—thus

Being that other's! Devil's-marriage, eh?

'My lie weds thine till lucre us do part?'

But pity me the snobbish simpleton,

You two aristocratic tiptop swells

At swindling! Quits, I cry! Decamp content

With skin I 'm peeled of: do not strip bones bare—
