PATIENCE: SONG OF THE DRAGOONS by WILLIAM SCHWENCK GILBERT

Poet Analysis

First Line: WE'VE BEEN THROWN OVER, WE'RE AWARE
Last Line: SO WE DON'T CARE,—SO WE DON'T CARE!
Subject(s): WOMEN;

We've been thrown over, we're aware,
But we don't care—but we don't care!
There's fish in the sea, no doubt of it,
As good as ever came out of it,
And some day we shall get our share,
So we don't care,—so we don't care!
