You once could be pleased with our ballads—
To-day you have critical ears:
You once could be charmed with our salads—
Alas! you've been dining with Peers—
You trifled and flirted with many—-
You've forgotten the when and the how—
There was one you liked better than any—
Perhaps you've forgotten her now.
But of those you remember most newly,
Of those who delight or enthrall,
