I find myself terribly puzzled to tell
The feelings with which Alfred Vargrave flung down
This note, as he pour'd out his wine. I must own
That I think he, himself, could have hardly explain'd
Those feelings exactly.
‘Yes, yes,’ as he drain'd
The glass down, he mutter'd, ‘Jack's right, after all:
‘The coquette!’
‘Does milord mean to go to the ball?’

Ask'd the waiter, who linger'd.
‘Perhaps. I don't know
‘You may keep me a ticket, in case I should go.’
