PD32. Same name

I attended Tulsa Opera's production of Madame Butterfly yesterday.  The consul's name is "Sharpless" which reminded me of this one's author:

There was a young lady... Tut, tut!
So you think you are in for some smut?
Some five-line crescendo
Of lewd innuendo?
Well, you're wrong.  This is anything but.
