Till, dazed and bewildered, my eyesight grows dim,

And my head, throbbing wildly, commences to swim.

'Twere folly and madness to try any more,

I know what I'll do—in a letter to-day

I will just tell her plainly how utterly vainly

I've striven and struggled to finish her play;

And then—happy thought!—I will mildly suggest

That she'll find for her purpose BUCHANAN the best.

I shall now write a play without dresses at all,

A plan, which I'm sure will be perfectly new.
