"This month bright Phoebus enters Pisces, The maids will have a good store of kisses, For always when the fun comes there, Valentine's Day is drawing near, And both the men and maids incline To use them each a Valentine; And if a man gets one he loves, He gives her first a pair of gloves; And, by the way, remember this, To seal the favor with a kiss."
