"Well, I don't mind, since you're pathetic,

And so the reason you shall hear:

Th' affair was one of arithmetic—

A matter of so much a year.

His father left five thousand good

Of pounds per annum, as you know,

And you possessed, I understood,

Of yearly thousands only two."

"Well, why did I, who knew of Cupid,

Display so much stupid-ity

As not to know—the thing was lucid—

From Cupid comes Cupid-ity?"

"But not too late," cried Clarabella:

"My husband dear has gone to heaven;

He left the five to me, good fellow!

And five and two, you know, make seven."
