"Depart from me this moment,"
I told her with my voice.
Said she, "But I don't wish
to," said I, "But you have no choice."
"I beg you, sir," she pleaded
from the corners of her mouth,
"I will secretly accept you
and together we'll fly south."
Just then Tom Paine, himself,
came running from across the field,
Shouting at this lovely girl
and commanding her to yield.
And as she was letting go
her grip up Tom Paine did run,
"I'm sorry, sir," he said
to me, "I'm sorry for what she's done."
