| PURITANS. | ||||
| Hoarsely the wind is howling — | ||||
| Bitterly bites the blast — | ||||
| The midnight cat is prowling — | ||||
| The rain is falling fast — | ||||
| But what of that? | ||||
| We'll back ourselves against the howling wind | ||||
| And the nocturnal cat - | ||||
| At two to one, bar none. | ||||
| RUPERT. | ||||
| And not a layer find | ||||
| Even at that. | ||||
| PURITANS. | ||||
| Even at that. | ||||
| RUPERT. | ||||
| The rain falls fast, In icy blasts: |
||||
| It's the sort of day when people say | ||||
| It's much too bad to last. | ||||
| PURITANS. | ||||
| But it lasts! | ||||
| RUPERT. | ||||
| It lasts! | ||||
| RUPERT and PURITANS. | ||||
| It lasts! | ||||
