Oh! the long evenings of duets and trios!

The admirations and the speculations;

The "Mamma Mia's!" and the "Amor Mio's!"

The "Tanti palpiti's" on such occasions:

The "Lasciami's," and quavering "Addio's,"

Amongst our own most musical of nations!

With "Tu mi chamas's" from Portingale,[784]To soothe our ears, lest Italy should fail.[785]
