Lam sure I had loved her the most had I seen This divine one alone—this delightful Pauline t But if, witched by this siren, I lingered, oh then There appeared on the plaza the Juno-like Gwenn, With a grace that was stately and grand us a queen. Not a whit was she like the ecstatic Pauline, But her manner, so gracious and pensively sweet, Dixarmed me, and down went my heart at her feet. O precious Pauline! And O, glorious Gwenn! You are always dividing the hearts of us men.
