Saying only “I might have known.”

Alas for Kate, and alas for Fudge,

Though I do not owe them any grudge.

And, alas, for any who find to their shame

That two can play at their little game.

For of all hard things to bear and grin

The hardest is knowing you’re taken in.

Ah! well as a general thing we fret

About the one we didn’t get.

But I think we need’nt make a fuss
