And, if she thinks to ask
About your health today,
You won’t remove your mask
Or look the other way,
But answer with a hedge
And say you’re doing well,
Although you’re more on edge
Than any tongue can tell.
Of course she’ll clearly see
The swindle going on
And yet won’t disagree
But let what’s gone be gone.
But you were such a pair
As was beyond compare.
