[despard, margaret]

i once was a very abandoned person
making the most of evil chances
n0body could conceive a worse ‘un
even in all the old romances
i blush for my wild extravagances
but be so kind
to bear in mind
we were the victims of circumstances

that is one of our blameless dances

i was once an exceedingly odd young lady
suffering much from spleen and vapours
clergymen thought my conduct shady
she didn’t spend much upon linen*drapers
it certainly entertained the gapers
my ways were strange
beyond all range
paragraphs got into all the papers

we only cut respectable capers

i’ve given up all my wild proceedings
my taste for a wandering life is waning
now i’m a dab at penny readings
they are not remarkably entertaining
a moderate livelihood we’re gaining
in fact we rule
a national school
the duties are dull, but i’m not complaining
this sort of thing takes a deal of training

- gilbert and sullivan lyrics
