But when she will warble of Halls—they're of Marble,—
Or Meetings by Moonlight, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
To see curls, and passion, so out of the fashion,
Made mock of by "Up-to-date" Florry, -date Florry.
But ringlets reviving? Miss Twiddy's long striving
For "Passion's Response" mayn't be hopeless, be hopeless.
In "Days of Pomatum" (for that's how I date 'em)
They used more Macassar, and soap less, and soap less!
Inopportune rain then put things out of train then,
Nell's mop, how a shower would spoil it, would spoil it!
