For you liked not receptions, and tea—
Where the crême of the aristocratic
Offer gossip, and scandal all free.

You cared not a rush for ceramics,
Bric-à-brac, and high art were a bore;
You did not converse on dynamics,
Nor dote on Ralph Emerson's lore.

You never described Campanini
As "too thrilling, æsthetic, divine; "
Nor raved over Booth and Salvini
As the only stage planets that shine.

You were not the least bit romantic,
And wondered why men were all so;
And why they should all act so frantic
When a full moon winked at them below.
