And on it placed soft ciams poulet, A lobster broiled and mufhns sweet, A fillet mignon?tres petite? New peas and grapefruit mayonnaise, A pair of cool cafe parfaits. A camembert so rich and ra?^ It perfumed all the sumn%-r air, A choice of French patisserie As dainty as such cakes can be. A tiny glass of greenest mint. A nesselrode with marrons in't, With nuts and maccaroons galore, The which I carried to her door. - She cried, she sighed, renewed her vow, Declaimed, proclaimed?but. anyhow, Gave up the light, began to eat The clams, the mignon tres petite.
