These masquerading people doff their gear,

Grand Turk his pompous turban, Quakeress

Her stiff-starched bib and tucker,—make-believe

That only bothers when, ball-business done,

Nature demands champagne and mayonnaise.

Just so has each of us sage three abjured

His and her moral pet particular

Pretension to superiority,

And, cheek by jowl, we henceforth munch and joke!

Go, happy pair, paternally dismissed
