XLVII + 

But where Melpomene doth rave + 

With lengthened howl and accent loud, + 

And her bespangled robe doth wave + 

Before a cold indifferent crowd, + 

And where Thalia softly dreams + 

And heedless of approval seems, + 

Terpsichore alone among + 

Her sisterhood delights the young + 

(So ’twas with us in former years, + 

In your young days and also mine), + 

Never upon my heroine + 

The jealous dame her lorgnette veers, + 

The connoisseur his glances throws + 

From boxes or from stalls in rows. + 
