She'd been respectable throughout her life, With five churched husbands bringing joy and strife, . Three times she'd journeyed to Jerusalem; And many a foreign stream she'd had to stem; . . . She could tell many of wandering by the way: Gap-toothed was she, it is no lie to say. . . . The remedies of love she knew, perchance, For of that art she'd learned the old, old dance.
