But such is not my project now, + 

So let us to the ball-room haste, + 

Whither at headlong speed doth go + 

Eugene in hackney carriage placed. + 

Past darkened windows and long streets + 

Of slumbering citizens he fleets, + 

Till carriage lamps, a double row, + 

Cast a gay lustre on the snow, + 

Which shines with iridescent hues. + 

He nears a spacious mansion’s gate, + 

By many a lamp illuminate, + 

And through the lofty windows views + 

Profiles of lovely dames he knows + 

And also fashionable beaux. + 
