Oh, Alphonse! Gallantry befits your race!
Daudet! Daudet!
Can you look hereafter in an Englishwoman's face,
Daudet? Daudet-say?
You must have snoozed all night,
You must have blinked all day;
Have been blind—pro tempore—to Beauty's light,
Daudet! Daudet-say!
Is every Englishwoman then a Grundy or a Gamp,
Daudet? Daudet?
