And then he'd sandwiches and bocks, which brought on bad dyspep-

As bees will swarm around a hive, the maids of La belle France
Went mad about our Lionel and thirsted for his glance;
In short they were reduced unto a state of used-up coffee lees
By this mild, melancholic, maudlin, mournful Mephistopheles.
He rallied them in French, in which he had the gift of rep-

At last one day he had to go; they came upon the pier;
The French girls sobbed, "Mon cher!" and then the English sighed, "My dear!"
