THREE STAGES.
i. Sighing like a furnace, Over ears in love, Blind in adoration Of his lady’s glove. Thinks no girl was ever Quite so sweet as she, Tells you she’s an angel, Expects you to agree. n. Moping and repining, Gloomy and morose, Asks the price of poison, Thinks he’ll take a dose. Women are so fickle, Love is all a sham, Marriage is a failure, Like a used up ham. m. Whistling, blithe and cheerful. Always bright and gay, Dancing, singing, laughing All the livelong day, Full of fun and frolic Caught in fashion’s whirl, Thinks no more of poison— Got another girl.
