'Tis well, good Saint Valentine, truly,

That you have got notice to quit,

For, faith! you must find us unduly

Devoted to cynical wit.

The poor dear conventional passions,

You voiced, with bird-pipings, in Spring,

Are not "up to date." Love's new fashions

You never could sing!

Good gracious! Le Gallienne's lyrics,

And Davidson's Lavender-scent,
