Jack Jollyboat went to the Indies To see him stare when he came back, The girls were so all off the hinges, His Poll was quite unknown to Jack: Tant-masted all, to see who's tallest, Breast-works, top-ga'ant sails, and a fanMessmate, cried I, more sail than ballast, Ah still give me my Buxom Nan. I say, then, find me out who can, *****... KING DICK; OR, MORE GHOSTS THAN ONE. Air-" Bow, wow," &c.-(C. F. Barrett.) You all have heard of crook-back'd Dick, who once was England's King, sir, Who thought by artifice to get the devil in a string, sir; Being born with teeth, he vow'd to snap at all who came in his way, sir, And friend or foe, as suited Dick, alike became his prey, sir. Bow, wow, wow, fal, lal, &c. 'Gainst Clarence, first, he spit his spite, and while he there did dine, sir, He made him drunk, and then did drown him in a butt of wine, sir; Then next unto the Tower he went, and with a furious look, sir, He stuck King Harry, 'cause he found him reading in a book, sir. Bow, wow, &c. King Edward dying, he seiz'd the crown, when, like the frog in fable, He swelled and looked monstratious big as long as he was able; Then married Lady Ann with speed, but soon, sirs, in a frenzy, He bade her go, sirs, and be d-d, another took his fancy. Bow, wow, &c. WHEN YOUTH HIS FAIRY REIGN BEGAN. (S. T. Coleridge.) WHEN youth his fairy reign began, HASTE, ROSEATE HOUR. [Translated from the Spanish of Juan de Mena.] (Dimond.) HASTE, roseate hour, that fate ordains, Haste, roseate hour! But when run out, thy perfect pile Haste, roseate hour! O! PADDY, PADDY WHACK; OR, A BLACK-AND-BLUE LAMENTATION! Air-" 0! Listen to the Voice of Love." (E. J. B. Box.) O! Paddy, Paddy Whack, For if you're false my heart 'twill crack; For Paddy, Paddy, dear Paddy Whack! Of love flow black And blue with fears! Oft in my arms, Of such sweet charms You've sworn you never had a smack; Then why this waste Of time and taste, O! Paddy, Paddy, dear Paddy Whack? PIGGISH PROPENSITIES; OR, THE BUMPKIN IN TOWN. A BUMPKIN to London, one morning in spring, Hey derry, ho derry, &c. The Clown drove him forward, while piggy, good lack, Liked his old home so well he still tried to run back. SPOKEN.]" Coome, coome," said the Bumpkin to himself," Lunnun is the grand mart for every thing; there they have their Auction-Marts, their Coffee-Marts, and their Linen-Marts: and, as they are fond of a tid-bit of country-pork, I see no reason why they should not have a Pork and Bacon Mart-so, get on (pig grunts). I am glad to hear you have a voice on the subject, though it seems not quite in tune with my Hey derry, ho derry, &c. It chanced on the road they'd a dreadful disaster, Hey derry, ho derry, &c. The grunter ran back 'twixt the legs of his master, Hey derry, ho derry, &c. The Bumpkin he came to the ground in a crack, And the pig, getting loose, he ran all the way back! SPOKEN.] "6 Hollo," said the Clown, scrambling up again, and scratching his broken head, "to be sure I have heard of sleight-of-hand, hocuspocus, and sich like, but, by gum, this here be a new manœuvre, called sleight-of-legs; however, s no boanes be broken between us, I'll endeavour make use on 'em once more in following the gane in view: so, here goes, with a Hey derry, ho derry, &c. He set off again, with his pig in a rope, Hey derry, ho derry, &c. Reached London, and now for good sale 'gan to hope, Hey derry, ho derry, &c. behaviour; but, certainly, after a long and fatiguing journey, nothing can be more refreshing than a drap of the cratur; and, deeming this the regular mart for the good stuff, in he bolts, leaving his master to sing, as long as he pleased, Hey derry, ho derry, &c Here three snuffy Tabbies he put to the rout, Hey derry, ho derry, &c. The pig gave a grunt, and the Clown gave a roar, When the whole of the party lay flat on the floor! SPOKEN.] Yes, there they lay all of a lump; and a precious group there was of them: the old women, well primed with snuff and twopenny, and bang-up with gin and bitters-the fair ones squalled; the Clown growled like a bear with a broken head; the landlord, seeing all that could be seen as they rolled over each other, stared like a stuck pig! while this grand chorus of soit and sweet voices from the swinish multitude was accompanied by the pig with his usual grunt, and a Hey derry, ho derry, &c. He set off again, without waiting for Jack, SPOKEN.] The devil take the pig," said the Bumpkin, he is more trouble than enough." "The devil take you," said Miss Sukey Snuffle, "for you are the greatest hog of the two; I dare say, if the truth was known, you are brothers." "I declare I never was so exposed in all my life," said Miss Delia Doldrum. "There's my beautiful bloom petticoat, that never was rumpled before in my life-I'm quite shocked!" "Never mind," said the landlord," nobody cares about it; though I confess it was a shocking affair!" "I wish he and his pigs were in the horse-pond!" continued she, endeavouring to hide her blushes with her hand, "Oh, my-Oh, my-" all Boniface. "What?" said "Oh, my elbow!" squalled out Miss Emilia Mumble; " I'm sure I shall never get over it." "Oh, yes, you will," continued he, "rise again, cheer your spirits with another drop of old Tom, and you'll soon be able to sing― Hey derry, ho derry, &c. By mutual consent, the old women all swore Hey derry, ho derry, &c. a brute, and his pig was a That the Clown was boar, Hey derry, ho derry, &c. He paid for their liquor, but grumbled, good lack, Without money or pig to gang all the way back. SPOKEN.] By gum," said he to himself, as he turned from the door, "if the Lunneners likes country pork, country pork doant seem to like they ; and, if this be the success I'm to expect in this mighty great town in search of the Grand Mart, I'll come no more, for I thinks as how it's all a hoax; therefore I'll make myself contented to set at home in my own chimney-corner in the country, and singHey derry, ho derry, &c. But the pig, being beat till his bones were quite WHERE THE BEE SUCKS, THERE LURK I. sore, Turning restive, rushed in at a brandy-shop door. SPOKEN.] The genteeler and politer part of the world might feel a little inclined to call this piggish (Shakspeare.) WHERE the bee sucks, there lurk 1, In a cowslip's bell I lie, He.-Tell, pretty cousin, tell me true, Doth Reuben read with scholar's art? She.-Fie, roguish kinsman! fie on thee! Both.--Yet ah! did love's commissioned flame As lucid gems, in earth deeply laid, I NEVER COULD LOVE TILL NOW. (M. G. Lewis.) WHEN I gazed on a beautiful face, Or a form which my fancy approved, Now harbour no doubt of my truth, On your hand, that pure altar, I vow, Though I've looked, and have liked, and have left That I never have loved-till now. THE HARDY TARTAR'S PRIZE. WHEN the darkened midnight sky Worlds of wealth, &c. As the meteors course the sky; Worlds of wealth, &c. With our gallant chieftain lies, Then till honour have her right, Sacred be the Tartar's prize. Worlds of wealth, &c. GOD SAVE THE KING. GOD save great George our king, God save the king! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the king! And make them fall; Thy choicest gifts in store, God save the king! TOM AND JERRY. Of friendship the parent, composer of strife, When the charmer cried"Now, vat are you arter?" La lal, &c. No," says Nan, "so claws off! Vat the devil's here? Fellers, keep your paws off." La lal, &c. To welcomes and blessings that wait thee at home. Oh, England! that home of delights is in thee. THE GRAND SUMMUM-BONUM'S A BUM- Hail! birth-place of honour! hail! land of the PER OF WINE. GIVE me wine, rosy wine, that foe to despair, Whose magical power can banish all care, free! An Hebrew maid rests on a far-distant pillow, Where Fancy plays false with the quiet of sleep; 27 DRANK MILK-PAILS AND MEASURE ON THE sons of Old Albion march on in procession, ye: Spangled with gold was the leek that he wore. "Stand treat," she cried, " or I'll never abide When your money is spent, then, lad, we'll have more." Young Owen, in the humour, he treated his Winny, "Twas the first time that she tippled, 'tis true, On her rounds she got mellow and gave for a penny Milk double measure, and more than that too. Her milk soon exhausted, she sat at her leisure, If the maid had but money she'd hold out the week; At length she sold off the yoke, pails, and mea sure, And with the last shilling she stuck up the leek. Next morning the milkman reproached his dear Winny, "Dame, where are my pails, or who came in your way?" "Owen Evan," she cried, " and I, like a ninny, Drank milk-pails and measure on St.Taffy's day." Come now, jolly Welshmen, replenish your glasses, And toast your brave fathers at Liberty's shrine, Your next be devoted to Cambria's fair lasses, And then to the green leek-our rallying sign. A PRIEST of Kajaaga, as blind as a stone, For I've taken an oath that my children sha'n't be So he married another he fancied would fit- She stopped the blind priest, saying, "Sit down a-bit, For my legs are too bandy to walk.” Bandy legs," said the priest, "can't be counted for sins, So sit there as still as a mouse; Shall waddle you into my house." Then he turned up his eyes, like the white of boiled eggs, : And prayed thus to Mahomet smack "Great prophet, afford me a wife with good legs, And with never a hump on her back!" Then the voice of the Prophet in thunder was heard, And rumbled thus over his head : Far sweeter than those, or its stream-playing fountains, Is Winny, sweet Winny, the Maid of the Dec. She's gentle and soft as the dove in her nature, And dear of the dearest, in kindness to all; She's chaste, and she's lovely in temper and feature, And ne'er may rude fortune sweet Winny befall. Her father (the woodman) bequeathed, as a blessing, "May harm ne'er wander where Winny may be." And never, no, never, may falsehood distressing Reach Winny, sweet Winny, the Maid of the Dee. Oh, green are the meadows, and fertile the vallies ... BEN BLOCK WAS A SAILOR, AS BRAVE BEN BLOCK was a sailor, as brave as could be, And seven fine boys for the ocean had he, One night shipwrecked all he was worth in a squall, Yet think not he whimpered or shrunk from the man, No, Ben was as brave as before; I can work, so can Nan, and show Fortune as how. "Twas thus argued Ben, as he sat on a rock, Determined his wishes to crown; |
