Classic Poem

If I should take my pen in hand
To write whole reams on Woman's Wrongs,
To libel men, like Sarah Grand,
Or scribble naughty songs:
If I should don my brother's coat,
And skirts not much below the knee;
If I should claim the right to vote,
Would you be true to me? He —

I swear — She —

Dear Jack! He —

I swear my heart
Would love that girl — perhaps an hour! She ( rising ) —

You — Thank you, sir! We two will part!
Your ring! — Consider our
Engagement — He —

Solid as the sun!
You shake your head? I'll tell you how.
My constant heart can love but one,
The girl that you are now!
