Zounds! wherefore cannot I attract her glances

Over the way?

Half out she leans to watch a tumbling brat,

Or yelping cur, run over by a dray;

But I’m in love—she never pities that!

Over the way!

I go to the same church—a love-lost labour;

Haunt all her walks, and dodge her at the play;

She does not seem to know she has a neighbour

Over the way!
