All me, how long you've panted for the pallid pamtatoon, You have gamed the proud distinction—and very, very soon The hand that rocked the cradle will be masculine and you Will be gone from us for ever As the sweetheart that we knew. So pause, oh sweetest damsel, Ere it be too late, too late ! And we call you Bill, or Thomas Instead of Maud or Kate.
