PURITANS.
Hoarsely the wind is howling -
Bitterly bites the blast -
The midnight cat is prowling -
The rain is falling fast -
But what of that?
We'll back ourselves against the howling wind
And the nocturnal cat -
At two to one, bar none.

RUPERT.
And not a layer find
Even at that.

PURITANS.
Even at that.

RUPERT.
The rain falls fast,
In icy blasts:
It's the sort of day when people say
It's much too bad to last.

PURITANS.
But it lasts!

RUPERT.
It lasts!

RUPERT & PURITANS.
It lasts!
