Then here's a style may be admired
Since brevity is so desired:
So he married her and she married him,
and everybody married each other
and lived happy ever after.
Or again, and thus, my daughter,
Versified it may be shorter:
So all was marriage, joy and laughter,
And each lived happy ever after.
Or:
If for High Romance you sigh,
Here's Romance that's over high:
Shy summer swooned to autumn's sun-burned arms,
Swoon, summer, swoon!
While roses bloomed and blushing sighed their pain,
Blush, roses, blush!
Filling the world with perfume languorous,
Sighing forth their souls in fragrant amorousness;
And fair Yolande, amid these bloomful languors,
Blushing as they, as languorous, as sweet,
Sighed in the arms that passioned her around:
O Jocelyn, O lord of my delight,
See how--
GILL: Stop, father, stop, I beg of you.
Such awful stuff will never do,
I suppose you must finish it in your own way--
MYSELF: I suppose that I shall, child, that is--if I may.
