Victimized by bitter, bitter circumstance.
My virtue had remained unstained
Until my maiden hand was gained
Brought me to this gilded cage.
Singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage.
And yet, of course, I rather like to revel, ha ha！
I have no strong objection to champagne, ha ha！
My wardrobe is expensive as the devil, ha ha！
Perhaps it is ignoble to complain...
Purchased as they were at such an awful cost？
Can they blind my eyes to shame？
Can the purest diamond purify my name？
And yet, of course, these trinkets are endearing, ha ha！
I'm oh, so glad my sapphire is a star, ha ha！
I rather like a twenty carat earring, ha ha！
If I'm not pure, at least my jewels are！
I'll take their diamond necklace,
