THE VERDICT
-- Ladies and gentlemen, I am most deeply obliged by your kind solicitations, said Simon Dedalus. I have no money but if you will lend me your attention I shall endeavour to sing to you of a heart bowed down. When first I saw that form endearing, Sorrow from me seem'd to depart: Each graceful look, each word so cheering, Charm'd my eye and won my heart. Full of hope, and all delighted, None could feel more blest than I; All on earth I then could wish for, Was near her to live and die: But alas! 'twas idle dreaming, And the dream too soon hath flown; Not one ray of hope is gleaming; I am lost, yes I am lost, for she is gone. Guilty as charged, on all seven counts: SEC perjury, and conspiracy. Martha, dearest, you lied about accounts And now they're taking you away from me! Martha, Martha, I am sighing, I am weeping still for thee; Wouldst that I could be there Oh to comfort thee! Ah! Martha return! When you're released my Martha Come, come to me. -- Martha it is. Coincidence. Lovely name you have: Martha. How strange! Today. |
