LOVE UP TO DATE, by                    
First Line: I know she loves me, though with scorn
Last Line: And seeing is believing.
Subject(s): Comedy


I KNOW she loves me, though with scorn
She treats my adoration;
I know she loves me, though my suit
She checks with strong negation.

And this I know, with proof as sure
As though her lips had said it:
Her heart I have before my eyes,
And there I've plainly read it.

For cathode rays have stolen through
This maiden so deceiving;
And thus her heart I've photographed,
And seeing is believing.
