XIX + 

Snakes, satyrs, loves with many a shout + 

Across the stage still madly sweep, + 

Whilst the tired serving-men without + 

Wrapped in their sheepskins soundly sleep. + 

Still the loud stamping doth not cease, + 

Still they blow noses, cough, and sneeze, + 

Still everywhere, without, within, + 

The lamps illuminating shine; + 

The steed benumbed still pawing stands + 

And of the irksome harness tires, + 

And still the coachmen round the fires + 

Abuse their masters, rub their hands: + 

But Eugene long hath left the press + 

To array himself in evening dress. + 
