THE "OFF" SEASON

Daphne, that day

Do you remember

(Then it was May,

Now it's November)

Plighting our troth

Nothing should sever;

Binding us both

Firmly, for ever?

Yes, I allow

Strephon's more showy;--

As for me, now

I prefer Chloe.

Yet, if men say

"Fickle," remember

Then it was May,

Now it's November.
