But no—you'd think it quite a shame;
So I must be content to take
My choice of humbler maiden's charms—
Must marry someone who can bake,
And has a sturdy pair of arms.
Lady Clara Vere de Vere,
Some "Lord Dundreary" you must find;
Our rustic bread and cheese and beer
Would hardly suit your taste refined.
If I should write you of my love,
