And Mabbie was cut from a chocolate bar.

And Mabbie thought life was heaven. The grammar school gates were the pearly gates,

For Willie Boone went to school.

When she sat by him in history class

Was only her eyes were cool. It was Mabbie without the grammar school gates

Waiting for Willie Boone.

Half hour after the closing bell!

He would surely be coming soon. Oh, warm is the waiting for joys, my dears!

And it cannot be too long.

Oh, pity the little poor chocolate lips

That carry the bubble of song! Out came the saucily bold Willie Boone.

It was woe for our Mabbie now.

He wore like a jewel a lemon-hued lynx

With sand-waves loving her brow. It was Mabbie alone by the grammar school gates.

Yet chocolate companions had she:

Mabbie on Mabbie with hush in the heart.

Mabbie on Mabbie to be.

Why was lord randall poisoned?

The only thought that occurs to me, considering that his mother feels she needs to ask him about his bequests (he gives his mother his gold and silver), is that somehow the lover felt that since he had declared his love for her she would get his dough if he died ("I didn't know the brown and speckled eels were poison, honest!")
