To serenade, with the thringumy-thrang,

Of the thrum, of his new guitar.

The glint of one, thro' a galloping cloud,

He caught, and he screwed his wire,

And gave a twist, to its patent head,

And toned the catgut higher.

Then flung the cape of his cloak aside,

And in an æsthetic strain,

He pitched his voice, to the concert key,
