With fatal fascinations for the Damsels of Dieppe.
He went to the Casino, whither mostly people go,
And lost his tin at baccarat and eke petits chevaux;
And still the maidens flocked around, and vowed he was amusing 'em,
And borrowed five-franc pieces, just for fear he should be losing 'em;
And then he'd sandwiches and bocks, which brought on bad dyspep-
sia for LIONEL beloved by Damsels of Dieppe.
As bees will swarm around a hive, the maids of La belle France
Went mad about our LIONEL and thirsted for his glance;
In short they were reduced unto a state of used-up coffee lees
