Fidelity

I travelled all the world because she promised me to wait;
But I returned, alas! to find I'd come back all too late.
A rival had cut in and taught her many nasty ways,
Including how to brown her teeth and overflow her stays;
And, thus by circumstances forced, I made all haste to dump
My dear, whom Time had called on and released the inner frump.
