XXIII + 

Infallibly you there will find + 

Two hearts, a torch, of flowers a wreath, + 

And vows will probably be signed: + 

Affectionately yours till death. + 

Some army poet therein may + 

Have smuggled his flagitious lay. + 

In such an album with delight + 

I would, my friends, inscriptions write, + 

Because I should be sure, meanwhile, + 

My verses, kindly meant, would earn + 

Delighted glances in return; + 

That afterwards with evil smile + 

They would not solemnly debate + 

If cleverly or not I prate. + 
