Sir. M.: Welcome joy, adieu to sadness!
As Aurora gilds the day,
So those eyes, twin orbs of gladness,
Chase the clouds of care away.
Irresistible incentive
Bids me humbly kiss your hand;
I'm your servant most attentive,
Most attentive to command!

Wild with adoration!
Mad with fascination!
To indulge my lamentation
No occasion do I miss!
Goaded to distraction
By maddening inaction,
I find some satisfaction
In apostrophe like this:
"Sangazure immortal,
Sangazure divine,
Welcome to my portal,
Angel, oh be mine!
Immortal, divine,
Angel, oh be mine!"
Irresistible incentive
Bids me humbly kiss your hand;
I'm your servant most attentive,
Most attentive to command!

LADY S. Sir, I thank you most politely
For your graceful courtesee;
Compliment more truly knightly
Never yet was paid to me!
Chivalry is an ingredient
Sadly lacking in our land.
Sir, I am your most obedient,
Most obedient to command!

Wild with adoration!
Mad with fascination!
To indulge my lamentation
No occasion do I miss!
Goaded to distraction
By maddening inaction,
I find some satisfaction
In apostrophe like this:
"Marmaduke immortal,
Marmaduke divine,
Take me to thy portal,
Loved one, oh be mine!
Immortal, divine,
Loved one, oh be mine!"

Chivalry is an ingredient
Sadly lacking in our land.

SIR. M.: I'm your servant most attentive,
Most attentive to command!

BOTH: Wild with adoration!
Yes, and mad with fascination!
To indulge my lamentation
No occasion do I miss!
Your most obedient!
Your most obedient to command!
