SATYRIC LYRIC, by                    
First Line: You say that, by a newer wooer
Last Line: Mabel.


You say that, by a newer
Wooer,
Your heart has been invaded,
Raided;
Unguessing that my harder
Ardor
Might possibly have faded,
Jaded.

Long intervals I've waited,
Sated,
To (rather than resist you)
Tryst you;
And, as you termed hot courting
Sporting,
I've often, to assist you,
Kissed you.

One knows, apart from college
Knowledge,
That love is but an able
Fable...
And so, at this impending
Ending
I feel entirely stable,
Mabel.
