As she oft had done before.

While she charmed him with her looks;

Then she called him very naughty,

Not at all well up in books.

"Have you ever read," she murmured,

"Squees' Memoir? I wish you would."

"Well, since you insist," he whispered,

"I will try and be so good."

Take your arm away - you monster! -

From my waist, you awful man!

That's not what I meant at all, sir!
