This was the moment for His Excellency to launch into singing \u201cnew wisteria leaves,\u201d at which the Secretary Captain picked a particularly long, dark cluster of blossoms and laid it beside the guest’s cup. The young gentleman struggled for a reply, and meanwhile His Excellency said, \u201cI shall then complain to the wisteria blossoms comely purple hue, though I am not pleased at all that they have outreached the pine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cup in hand, the Consultant Captain acknowledged him with a slight and thoroughly graceful bow. \u201cAh, how many times have I had to suffer through all too dewy springs, to come at last on this day when flowers burst into bloom?\u201d, he replied and passed the cup to the Secretary Captain:<\/p>\n
The wisteria that in tender bloom<\/p>\n
recalls a fair maiden’s sleeves<\/p>\n
no doubt looks lovelier still<\/p>\n
to a ravished watcher’s eyes.<\/p>\n
