With pictures that they “really ought to see,”

With conversaziones, routs, and balls,

And what so dear to women’s hearts, their “calls,”

With flower shows, and riding in the “Row.”

With dinners, drives, and all that’s “comme il faut,”

Worn out, half dead, when Saturday arrives

They meekly vow they’re tired of their lives,

But wake on Monday morning free from pain,

And vow they’re ready to begin again.
