Cabaret Of The Seven Devils

Disregard for how and where and with whom
 You amuse yourself encourages bad behavior
 The Duke, as was appropriate, held himself in high regard
 And therefore considered himself in need of encouragement
 He expected the people of Madrid render him this service
 And as convenient setting for the achievement of this end
 He established the Cabaret of the Seven Devils
 This is what happened:
 Sick and tired of what passed for diversion at the Carnival Palace of Don Diego de Cordona
 I'm sick and tired of what passed for diversion at the Carnival Palace of Don Diego de Cordona
 So-so-so lucky to have him there in the first place
 And he certainly was in the First Place—
 the Duke of Medina Sidonia, himself made up his own mind
 When he must go back to the 'capital',
 Which was soon, "And which I hate,"
 He would take his exercise in the town.
 The evening in question was a moonless Monday
 The evening in question was a moonless Monday
 And carrying his own purse
 The evening in question was a moonless Monday
 And carrying his own purse
 And carrying his own purse
 With only one valet (only one—but by far his best swordsman)
 The Duke marched into the least auspicious tavern,
 Tossed his silver bag at whom he assumed was the proprietor
 And said, or barked, I mean,
 "This establishment will now serve my purposes.
 And I should like it to be known as the Cabaret of the Seven Devils."
