    I saw a constellation
    Whose proper appellation
    Was the Phoenix of the Hall.
    So therefore I awaited
    My spirits elevated,
    No more I ponderated
    Let what with me befall.
    But then to her repeated
    How cupid had me treated,
    And this expostulated
    With the Phoenix of the Hall
    Without more hesitation
    She made a declaration
    Of her determination
    To lead a single life
    Saying sorrow and vexation
    And many lacerations
    Attend the humble station
    Of what is called a wife.
    Without equivocation
    Or mental reservation
    Unto your application
    I will not yield at all
    Your wild insinuations
