Robert F. Morrow + 

Dear man! although a stranger and a foe + 

To soft affection’s humanizing glow; + 

Although untaught how manly hearts may throb + 

With more desires than the desire to rob; + 

Although as void of tenderness as wit, + 

And owning nothing soft but Maurice Schmitt; + 

Although polluted, shunned and in disgrace, + 

You fill me with a passion to embrace! + 

Attentive to your look, your smile, your beck, + 

I watch and wait to fall upon your neck. + 

Lord of my love, and idol of my hope, + 

You are my Valentine, and I’m + 

A Rope. + 
