When poets sing of lovers’ woes
And blighted lives and throbs

And yearnings—goodness ouly knows
It's all a pose.

I am a poet, too, you know,

And wrote such stuff myself, and so

I, too, found refuge from despalr

patent of that safety vehicle has long

back in your hansom as possible, and
put your feet against the footboard.
The up-to-date hansom, though, has
no footboard, and you do not always
ride with the door open. You will do
well, anyhow, never to have the win:
