I knew a lady when the days
  Grew long, and evenings goldened;
  But I was not emboldened
By her prompt eyes and winning ways.
And when old Winter nipt the haws,
  “Another’s wife I’ll be,
  And then you’ll care for me,”
She said, “and think how sweet I was!”
And soon she shone as another’s wife:
  As such I often met her,
  And sighed, “How I regret her!
My folly cuts me like a knife!”
And then, to-day, her husband came,
  And moaned, “Why did you flout her?
  Well could I do without her!
For both our burdens you are to blame!”
