What a joke! Who rejected you? Speak!

Did you look like that, Jack, when you parted?

Was that pallor of death on your cheek?

You interest me. Tell me about it;

And let your old chum, sir, console.

Hard hit in the heart. I don't doubt it;

You were made for that sort of a rôle.

Did you bend on your knee, like an actor,

Hardly knowing just where to begin?

Was dear mamma's consent the main factor?
