A St Valentine’s Day Tragedy

Oh! Montmorency Vere de Vere,
To think that one I held so dear
Should use a base deceiver’s art
To trifle with my loving heart.
A brand new ten-cent valentine
With lace and hearts and verses fine,

And in return you send to me
The one I sent to you last year,
Oh! Montmorency Vere de Vere.
