Classic Poem

He gave me a ring, and I laughed and asked him:
" What does this mean? " " A gift, " he answered
I went with another upon the morrow,
And in the evening he was so angry.
" You wore my ring, " he said, reproachful,
" The ring means marriage — you're pledged to me! "

I flung my ring at the foolish creature
And I said: " Now hasten out of my sight.
I never saw such a stupid person,
Who says one thing and means another! "
