“That makes them eight.—The port’s in sight:

Tis all because your eyes are bright!

Now just a pair to end in “oo,”—

When maids command, what can’t we do!

Behold! The RONDEAU—tasteful, light—

You bid me try!”


A Rondeau.

(After Voiture’s “Ma foy c’est fait.”)

Why do I wander wildly to and fro?
