(Who whistled of Monte Carlo not wisely, but too well.)

Sweet youth! I wonder if you'll feel much pain

To know that that sweet soul-inspiring strain

You whistle at so wonderful a rate

Is now in point of fact quite out of date.

Down in the country pr'aps you hardly know

At what a pace these street-songs come and go.

At present you're a day behind the fair,

And want (as I myself) a change of air.

You should protest you're being driven crazy
