VENGEANCE by GEORGE SYLVESTER VIERECK

First Line: THIS IS THE SELF-SAME GILDED INN
Last Line: LIKE HEROD'S WIFE, TILL JUDGMENT DAY!

THIS is the self-same Gilded Inn
Where oft I waited wearily,
But you -- you had your tango tea,
And love was slaughtered for a spin.
Another, in apparel gay,
Holds hands now and sips mint with me,
And you may dance your tango tea,
Like Herod's wife, till Judgment Day!
