Though beauty he no more adored, + 

He still made love in a queer way; + 

Rebuffed⁠—as quickly reassured, + 

Jilted⁠—glad of a holiday. + 

Without enthusiasm he met + 

The fair, nor parted with regret, + 

Scarce mindful of their love and guile. + 

Thus a guest with composure will + 

To take a hand at whist oft come: + 

He takes his seat, concludes his game, + 

And straight returning whence he came, + 

Tranquilly goes to sleep at home, + 

And in the morning doth not know + 

Whither that evening he will go. + 
