This queer little game, whilst they keep it alive!
Dance-partnership is not "for better for worse,"
And "union of hearts" sometimes smacks of—the purse.
"Twos and Threes" is a game to the playground familiar!
"Two's Company!" Yes, so, in this case, are Three!
Alliances frequently made willy-nilly are
Dual or Triple. The Eagles we see
Foregather; so may they not meet—in the dance—
The Big Northern Beast and the Beauty of France?
