But it wasn't a great financial success.
So, after a spell at the Bar, he flew
To the rubber-fields in remote Peru,
But stayed there only a month or two.
For he suddenly conceived a plan
Of studying music at Milan,
Where he sang in the style of the great god Pan.
I heard him sing in the Albert Hall
In the chorus of Mendelssohn's St. Paul,
And his voice was the loudest of them all.
