Yes, she was fond of Richardson

Not thanks to his great novels reading

And, thus, preferring Grandison

To Lovelace hiding secret feeling.

Her Moscow cousin, young princess

Alina, who had read it, yes,

Told her of that, and just because

Her future spouse at that time was

Her suitor, whom she didn’t adore,

And she was sighing for a guy,

Who was more clever and less shy,

Whom she preferred and adored more.

This Grandison was brave and smart,

A gambler and a sergeant guard.
