 MAYHAP you've heard that as dear as oimt 
 lives 
 All true-hearted tars love their ships & their wives 
 To their duty like pitch, sticking close till they die 
 And who'er wants to know I'll tell them for why, 
 ©nethro' dangers &storins brings me safelyon shore 
 Tother welcomes me home, when my danger's o'er 
 Both smoothens the ups & the downs of this life. 
 For the ships called the Nancy, & Nancy's my wife 
 
 When Nancy my wife o'er the lawn scuds so neat 
 And 80 light the proud grass scarce yield to herfeet 
 So rigg'd and so lovely 'tis not easy to trace, 
 WhicR is reddest her top-knot, her shoes or her face 
 While the neighbours to see herforgot all their cares 
 And are pleas'd that she's mine, tho' the wished 
 
 she was theirs. 
 Marvel not then to think of the joys of my life, 
 I njy ship called the Nancy for Nancy's my wife. 
 As for Nancy my vessel but see her in trim, 
 Slie seems thro' the ocean to fly and not swim, 
 F«re the wind like a dolphin she skiras the rough 
 
 seas, " (stays. 
 
 With her top gallant sails tho' she looks best in 
 Scudding, trying, or tacking, 'tis all one to she. 
 Mounting high or low sunk in the trough of the sea 
 She has sav'd me in many hard squeaks of my life, 
 So I cail'd her the Nancy cause Nancy's my wife. 
 
 ' hca so sweet in the dance careless glides my 
 
 hearts queen, 
 Jhe sets ©ut and sets in far the fairest of th« green 
 So of all the grand fleet my gay vessel's the flower 
 She outsails the who e fleet by a knot in an hour, 
 Tliw the both sail so cheerful thro life's vnrying 
 
 breeze, 
 AU hearts with such pilots mus tbe at their ease, 
 Fnus I've two kind protectors to wj-.tch me thro* 
 My good ship the Nancy & Nancy's my wife. (life 
 These hands from protecting them who shall de- 
 Ne'er ingratitude lurk'd in the heart of a tar (bar, 
 Why every thing female from peril to iave. 
 Is the noblest distinction that hoaours the brave. 
 While a rag, or a timber, or h compass they boast 
 I'll protect the dear creatures against a whole host 
 Still grateful to both to the end of my life. 
 My good ship the Nancy and Nancy ray w'ifer

 GOOD people all 1 ])ray draw near. 
 And listen unto ni<?, 
 And when you hear what 1 relate, 
 
 With me you will agfree. 
 We soon must bid this world adieu, 
 
 The rich as well as poor. 
 Neither gold uor silver can gire health. 
 Or ease the brow of car«. 
 
 Ccone oil you worthy Englishmen, 
 
 That dwells both far and near, 
 Aad assist each other in time of need. 
 
 And live in friendship here ; 
 For soon we may be called hence. 
 
 Where thousands are gone before, 
 There's no distinction in the grave, 
 
 Between the rich and poor. 
 
 TKere are the great and mighty men, 
 
 Kings and Princes too, 
 "ftey all must be consign'd to death, 
 
 And bid this world adieu. 
 Go search the tombs where Monarchs rest, 
 
 And then it will be fonnd; 
 Their wealth and glory is bereft 
 
 Once men of high renown. 
 
 Come all you worthy Englishmen, 
 
 The truth vou can't deny, 
 I hope each other you will befriend. 
 
 And eiich other's wants supply, 
 Toassisi your neighbour in distress, 
 
 It is your duty so to do. 
 For the world is now at such a pa«8, 
 uch friends you find but few 
 
 This world is but a stage of life, 
 Where we walk up and down, 
 
 In iearching for a place of rest, 
 But none can there be found. 
 
 This life is like a ship at sea, 
 liy wares toss'd up and dowa, 
 e hope to find a place of rest, 
 When the last trumpet sounds.

 SOME nations may boast of their 
 walls 
 Of their armies may make much a-clo, 
 But tell me the power when Liberty 
 calls 
 Like the gallant stout jackets so blue, 
 Our sailors are Lords of the Sea, 
 The' they roll in the old world or 
 new, (bier may be 
 
 None bolder, none stronger, none no- 
 Than the jolly stout jackets of blue. 
 
 Each flag that flies over the main, 
 
 No matter what 'er be it hue, 
 Must strike as it has struck again and 
 again 
 
 To the gallant stout jackets of blue. 
 The jacket to Neptune is dear, 
 
 So he spoke thus to each of his crew, 
 All honour and glory and vvorth shall 
 appear, 
 
 With uiy own jolly jackets of blue. 
 
 The King in his majesty great 
 
 Remains to his own colour true, 
 And amidst all his robes & his ermines 
 of State 
 
 Remembers his jacket of blue. 
 Then loud let each Mariner sing 
 
 In a chorus still honest tho' new, 
 Here's a health & long life to our bViM 
 jacket King, 
 
 To our King in his jacket of blue.

 LD England is the land we love, 
 None with it can compare, 
 For statesmen wise and hero's bold, 
 
 For commerce, and the fair ; 
 'Tis Britan's pride no land beside, 
 
 Such influence does maintain, 
 Go where you will old England still 
 We shall never see its like again. 
 
 For ages past our Admirals brave. 
 
 Pre-eminent have stood. 
 In spite of all the w^orld have held 
 
 The mastery of the flood ; 
 There's Duncan, Plood, & Collingwood, 
 
 And others in the train, (fame, 
 
 And Nelson's name sounds matchless 
 
 We shall never see its like again. 
 
 Bold heroes in the field we have. 
 
 Remember INlarlborougli's name. 
 Brave Abercrombie, Wolfe, and Moore 
 
 Who died to live again ; 
 We've others still Comhermere & Hill, 
 
 And Wellington remain, 
 Fam'd Waterloo laurell'd his brow, 
 
 We shall never see his like again.

 Each Briton stil reveres, (name, 
 
 Unequall'd as a Monarch reign'd. 
 
 Through long eventful years : 
 But now he's gone, we've William his

The Three Flies. 
 
 THERE were three flies, once on a time 
 Resolv'dlo travel and change their 
 
 clime. 
 For they neither cared for father nor mother 
 Fornncle nor aunt, nor sister, nor brother 
 The first was a yellow one, the second was 
 
 blue, 
 And the third was a green one to the view 
 So off they set with merry hums. 
 And told their parents to kiss their bums. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 But they too saucy were by half — 
 I can't sing ifyou do laugh, 
 S« shut your mouths, and list to me 
 Tiddleliddle lol, & tiddle liddle lee 
 And take a lesson from a fly. 
 Don't give way to lux — u — ry. 
 
 They had not gone far when the yellow 
 
 one cries, 
 Look down, my boys, a dinner I spies. 
 But the blue bottle answer'd—upon my word 
 
 I sees nothing but a large cow t 
 
 A cow t , well, there,s good in that — 
 
 I'm sure it looks monstracious fat ; 
 And I wish as how I may go to Davy, 
 If I don't have some of that rich gravy. 
 But the others too dainty were by lialf— 
 I can't sing if you do laugh, &c. 
 Away they flew the other two, 
 Jacky Green and Tommy Blue ; * 
 They flow'd on fast and did not stop, 
 'Till they came opposite to a butchers shop 
 " Oh, oh, says the blue-bottle, ' Here's a 
 
 treat ! 
 I'm particularly fond of butcher's meat," 
 Says t'other, says he, " Then off I go. 
 For I don't care for meat, you know." 
 But he too dainty was by half — 
 
 I can't sing &c. 
 
 Far off then by himself he flow'd. 
 And into a grocer's shop he goed! 
 And there he play'd some saucy rigs. 
 For he danc'd among the sugar, and the 
 
 plums, and the figs. 
 The day being hot he took a whim. 
 And thought iH some treacle he should like 
 
 to swim, (he goes. 
 
 So without considering consequences, in 
 
 And didn't even stop to takeoff his clothes 
 
 But the treacle he found too thick by half 
 
 I can't sing&c. 
 
 The other two pass'd by the door. 
 And heard a voice they'd heard befoie; 
 So nearer to the sound they got, 
 'Till they lighted on the treacle pot. 
 There they saw him almost dead. 
 And thus to him the blue-bottle said, 
 O Greeny all our powers can't save ye, 
 You'd better have had our beef and gravy. 
 But you too dainty was by half,&c. 
 
 MORAL. 
 
 Now a41 young men inclinedto loamy 
 Take my advice, and stay at home; 
 And be your fortunes dry or wet. 
 Be content with what you get. 
 And 'bout trifles make no fuss, 
 Farther on you may fare worse, (got 
 
 And mayhap when a great way off you've 
 Like that poor fly you'll go to pot.

 THE Laiui,ilie Land, tiie rich 8c solid land. 
 The hills, and dales, & fields so grand. 
 All till'd with Howers, and fruits, and trees. 
 And back'd bv rocks, and surrounded b)- Seas: 
 It cheers the heart and gladdens the eyes. 
 And like a sleej)ing babe it lies. 
 I'm ou the land, I'm on the land, 
 I am where I would ever stand, 
 \\ ith the heavens above, and die sward below. 
 And lOHiantic charms where'er I go, 
 If the wind should arise and shake the trees, 
 \Miat matter — what matter — I should sleep at 
 eate. 
 
 I love, oh, how I love to roam,' 
 Amid the shades of my native home. 
 Where every breeze re-echoes the tale. 
 Of the joys I've found in my native vale : 
 And tells of the charms I've found below, 
 Thejoys that the Sea can never know. 
 I never \Aas on the open Sea, 
 But the Land appear'd more dear to me. 
 And back 1 flew to its shades for rest. 
 Like a babe that seekeih its mother's breast. 
 As a mother she dealt with a lib'ral hand. 
 For I was born on the rich and solid land. 
 
 The fields were green, aiKl ripe th^ corn. 
 On the summer's day when I was born ; 
 The Reapers reap'd, and the gleaners glean'd. 
 The harvest was rich, and no one complained. 
 And never*was seen a day so mild. 
 As welcom'd to life the land-born child. 
 I've liv'd since then in domestic life, 
 Fidl fifty summers without care or strife. 
 With money to spend and a power to roam. 
 But never would stray from my kindred konie 
 And Death, whenever he comes to hand.

 ROW thy boat, ray jolly fellow, 
 You'll be back in time to tea, 
 Should you see my wife, dont tell her. 
 
 By any chan^ce "that you've seen me. 
 In our old tap room I'd meet you. 
 
 By I know she'd surely come, 
 (you well know nought could greet you 
 
 Like her precious Tartar tongue. 
 Dending o'er our pipes and porter, 
 
 We'lfsome jolly tales unfold. 
 Look sharp back across the water, 
 
 I'd spend a sovereign in good gold. 
 We advance will have at ev'ning, 
 
 l^ots of songs too we'll have sung, 
 
 ipe and backey we'll be given. 
 
 Since I scout her Tariar tongue. 
 
 Mary le Moor. 
 
 As I stray'd o'er the common on Cork's rugged border- 
 While the dew-drops ot'inorn the sweet primrose ar, 
 1 saw a poor female, whose mental disorder, (ray'd^ 
 
 Her qiiick-glancing eye and wild aspect betray'd; 
 On the sward she reclin'd, by the green fern surounded. 
 At he side speckled daisies and wild flowers abounded; 
 To its inmost recesses her heart had been wounded ; 
 He Mghs were unceasing— 'twas Mary le More. 
 Her charms by the keen blasts of sorrow were faded. 
 
 Yet the soft tinge of beauty still play'd on her cheek; 
 Her tresses a wreath of primroses braided. 
 
 And strings of fresh dasics hung looose on her neck. 
 While with pity I gazed, she exclaim'd, " O my mothec 
 See the blood o"n that lash ! 'tis the blood of my brother. 
 They have torn his poor flesh!— add they now strip ano" 
 'Tis Connor— the friend of poor Mary le Moor!" (ther 
 Though his locks were as white as the foam of the ocean, 
 
 Those wretches shall find that my father is brave ; 
 ' M V father !' she cried, with the wildest emotion. 
 
 Ail, no ! my poor father now sleeps in the grave ! 
 Thev'have toll'd his death bell, they've laid the turf o'er 
 His whitelocks were bloody, no aidcould restore him; (him^ 
 He IS gone ! he is gone ! and the good will deplore him. 
 
 When the blue waves of Erin hid Mary le More, 
 A lark, from the gold blossom'd furze that grew near her. 
 
 Now rose, and with energy carroll'd his lay; 
 * Hush ! hush ! she continued, ' the trumpet sounds clearer. 
 
 The horsemen approach ! Erin's daughter's away! 
 Ah ! soldiers, 'twas foul, while the cabin was burning. 
 And o'er a pale father a wretch had been mourning--- 
 Go hide with the sea-mew, ye maids, and take warning. 
 
 Those rutfianshave ruin'd poor Mary le More 
 Away! oring the ointment---0, God ! see the gashes ! 
 
 Alas ! my poor brother ! come dry the big tear . 
 Anon we'll have vengeance for those dreadful lashes- - 
 
 Already the screech-owl and raven appear. 
 By day the green grave, that lies under the willow, 
 "With wild flow'rs I'll strew, and by night make my pillow,* 
 Till the ooze and dark sea-weed, beneath the curl'd billow. 
 
 Shall furnish a death-bed, for M«ry le More !* 
 ThuB raved tne poor maniac^ in t©nes more heart^rendisj 
 
 Than sanity's voice ever ponr'd on my ear ; 
 When lo I on the waste, & the march towards her bending

 TH E lady-bird skims o'er the wood- 
 bine, 
 
 Tlie bees in the Hly repose, 
 The summer fly rests on the cowsHp, 
 
 But love lies asleep in the rose. 
 The rose is the casket of Cupid, 
 
 His spell from its redoline flows, 
 Beware of the hand that [wesents it, 
 
 For love lies asleep in the rose. 
 The lady-bird flaunts from your presence 
 
 The bee thrills your lip with a smart 
 The summer fly fluttei*s around you, 
 
 But love plants a thorn in the heart. 
 The rose is the casket of Cupid, 
 
 Its perfumes with soft magic flows, 
 Let the hand of affection present it, 
 
 For love lies asleep in the rose.

 You see I am cut down in the height of

 A young man come to me & these words 
 
 he said, (were. 
 
 Rise up Thomas Hegan & fly you else 
 Fw vengeance is sworn you by young 
 
 Fanny Blair. 
 
 Young Fannv Blair she's Eleven years 
 
 old, ' 
 And as 1 must die the truth I'll unfold, 
 1 never had dealings with her in my time 
 Its a hard thing to die for another man's 
 
 crime. 
 The day of my trial Squire Vernon was 
 there, (Miss Blair, 
 
 And on the green table they handed 
 Falseoathsshcs a swearing I'm asham- 
 ed for to tell. 
 Till at length the Judge cries your mo- 
 thers tutored you well. 
 Ttie day that Hegan was doomed to die 
 Tiie people rose up with a murmuring 
 cry, (ly has swore. 
 
 If we catch her we'll crop her, she false- 
 Young Hegan dies innocent we are all 
 certain sure. 
 
 There is one thing more which I beg of 
 my friends, (themselves, 
 
 To take me in Bloomfield one night by 
 
 And bury my body in Mary-le-Mould.

 J. Catnach, Printer, London. 
 
 Sold by Marshall, Bristol, & James Sbarman, Cambridge 
 
 ON a cold winter's morn as the snow was a fall- 
 ing. 
 When a child of misfortune so loudly was bawling 
 Sweep oh! he cries for the snow is very deep, 
 So 1 pray take compassion on a poor little sweep. 
 Tears from his eyes in large drops were fast falling 
 You noted for pity whose hearts have controuling 
 You men of discerning who are not yet asleep. 
 Don't you hear the sad wailing of a poor little sweep 
 
 He contmued to cry but no strangers to pity, 
 But they laugh'd at his grief while they banter'd 
 
 his dftty. 
 Oft times they forwarned him a distance to Keep, 
 And he cry'd take compassion on a poor little sweep 
 At the steps of a door half frozen and dejected. 
 He set there to mourn his complaints were neg- 
 lected. 
 Till a kmd hearted damsel by chance saw him weep 
 And her heart bled with sorrow for the poor little 
 
 sweep. 
 She took his cold hand to a neighbours she led him 
 Warm'd his Umbs by the fire & tenderly fed him. 
 But ah how surprised with joy did she weep. 
 When she found a lost brother in poor little sweep 
 Long time did she ga/e on each sutty blackfeature 
 To her bo jom she pressed and said thou sweetcre.?-

 I'll haste t ott£ bomc you no longer shall weep

THE VILLAGE BEAUTY, 
 
 See ihe star-breasted villain to yonder cot bound. 
 
 Where the sweet honey-suckle entwines it around. 
 Yet sweeter, far sweeter than flower e'er seen. 
 
 Is the poor hedirer's daughter, the pride of the green ! 
 But more, never more, will she there please all eyes. 
 
 Her peace of mind withers, her happiness flies ! 
 She pauses, siglii^ trembles I — and yet dares to roam. 
 
 The villaj^e-born beauty, seduced from her home. 
 
 From a post-chaise and four, she's in London get down. 
 Where, robbed of her virtue, she's launched on the town ; 
 
 Her carriajfe, her servants, and jewels so gay. 
 Tell how she i* kept, and o'er all bears the sway ! 
 
 At the Opera, — the Playhouse, — the Parks, and els«. 
 where, 
 Her beauty out-rivals each beauty mat's there ; 
 
 And while, big with envy, her downfill they tell. 
 The village-born beauty o'er all bears ttie bell. 
 
 But soon \Vom indifference, caprice, or what not, — 
 She's turned on the world, by her keeper forgot ; 
 
 Yet fond to be flattered, and fettered in vice, 
 rihe's this man's or that as becomes to her price ! 
 
 At length, growing stale, all her finery sold, 
 In the bloom of her youth through disease looking old : 
 
 Forsook by her lovers, and sous-ht for no more, 
 The village-born beauty becomes a street w — 
 
 .'Up lanes and through alleys she now stalks her way, 
 
 Kxposed to all weathers, by ni<ilit and by day ; 
 Cohl, houseless, and shiv'ring, and wet to the skin, 
 
 With glass alter glass drowns her sorrows with gin ! 
 Distressed, sore, and ragged, sad, friendless, and poor, 
 
 She's borne to some garret, or work-house obscure ! 
 Breathes a prayer-hope to Heaven, — a sinner to save ! 
 
 When the village-born beauty is laid in the grave. 
 
 Then pily, ye fair ones, nor be too severe, 
 And give a frail sister the boon of a tear, 
 
 When prone to condemn them, reflect, — think awhile — 
 That the heart often bleeds when the face wears 
 smile 1 
 
 Thinic, too how thro', beauty they oft owe their fall. 
 And what may, through vice, be the fate of you afi. 
 
 And 0, while sweet innocence bears a proud sway, 
 Mav hell seize the Yillaia that smiles to betray. 
 
 THE SISTER-IN-LAW. 
 
 Attend, my good friends, and list to my rhymes, 
 And I'll try to amuse you, and p;tss away time. 
 If, you would know who I am, I will tell you er» 
 
 long, 
 1 am little Jemima, the sister to Tom. 
 Who instead of getting a husband for me, 
 He found out a \mfe for himself do you see, 
 Who was such a beauty, as you never saw, 
 So list while I tell of my sister-in-law. 
 In law — in law— my sister-in-law. 
 
 Two eyes like black beetles her face did adorn, 
 \nd her nose it sttick out, like a cobbler's past« 
 
 horn. 
 And her teeth white as coals, washed up by the tide>. 
 And a sweet little mouth, about twelve inches wide 
 Her hair curled like the tail of a rat. 
 With a hump like a Camel's, stuck on her back, 
 And her voice is as sweet as any jackdaw, 
 Now what do you think of my sister-in-law. 
 
 And as for her learning, she beats me quite hollow 
 She grins like a donkey, through a horse's collar. 
 And her beautiful dancing-, it would you surprise. 
 Why she jumps Jim Crow, nearly equal to Rice 
 She is a (iabster at leap-frog, or flying a kite. 
 And if her pals they offend her, she is a devil to 
 
 fight, [tatr, 
 
 She can play well at duckstone, buck-ubout or ring- 
 What an accomplished woman is my sister-in-law. 
 Such a delicate stomach she has got I declare, 
 At her dinner she drinks only six pots of beer. 
 Eats a .«irloin of beef, and a bushel of taters. 
 Nine quarts of stewed eels, with pickles and capers, 
 Then away to the pastry-cook's shop she will go, 
 And wolf saiT'siige rolls, till scarce aule to blow. 
 Such a lot of stale buns she crams into her maw, 
 What a delicate stomach has my sister-in-law. 
 Then off to a free and easy she will go. 
 Where she swigs half-and-half, while her bacco sbe 
 
 blows, 
 Like an Hottentot Venus she sticks in the chair, 
 Where she knocks down the songs, yes, and knock 
 
 down the beer. 
 Then staggers off home, and staggers up stairs, 
 And my brother she lugs out of bed by the ears. 
 Then like a pig m the mire, she sprawls on ttie 
 
 floor, ^ 
 
 What a beautiful creature is my sister-in-law. 
 
 One night as my brother lay snug in his bed, 
 The chamljcr utensil she threw at his head, 
 When he bolted upright and these words he did say 
 I wish that the devil would fetch you away. 
 Wlien a figure in black, in the room did appear, 
 Saying, I have come ior my sister, I know she » 
 
 here, 
 Popt her into his sack and flew out of the door, 
 i And that is the way I got rid *)f my sister-in-law 
 
DICKEY BIRDS 
 
 listen to my song and you'll not deny my words 
 I'll quickly prove that all mankind are nothing more 
 
 than birds, 
 Whether in the east or whether in the west, 
 You own man makes a study to feather well his nest 
 So listen to my song and you'll not deny my words 
 This world is but a nest and all mankind are birds 
 
 The banker is a goldfinch which no one can deny 
 The carpenter's a woodcock 'tis plain to you and I 
 The singer is a nightingale whose sweet notes will 
 
 delight. 
 The watchman s an owl 'cause he only sings at night 
 
 Then listen, &c' 
 
 The lawyer is a magpie that'll jaw you for a week 
 Th« magistrate's a snipe, a bird that's well known j 
 
 by the beak (be took who 
 
 The gentlewomen for ladybirds of course they must 
 Can deny the kitchen maid is nearest to the cook-oo 
 f he punster is a lark, of course the merry wag will 
 
 follow. 
 Thehighwayman'sa robin thedrunkard isa swallow 
 The negro is a blackbird as I've heard many say 
 'The parsons are to eagles like because they're birds 
 
 of prey. 
 
 There's various sorts of pigeons some nobler and 
 
 some humbler 
 The old man's a baldhead the merry clown a tumbler 
 The jew he is ablackbeard as I've heard many talk 
 The alderman's a pouter and the pedlar but a hawk 
 
 The old maid is a parrot that will chat till all it blue 
 The King he is a hearty cock the sportsman a cock 
 
 er too 
 A Pirate is a sea erull deny it yon that will 
 Our Queen she is a pelican because she's got a bill 
 
 The informers are a kind of birds that always are 
 
 entrapping (pinfif 
 
 The vintner is a woodpecker because he lives by tap 
 The infant is a tom tit and I'll prove it in a trice 
 The gamblers they are nothing more than birds of 
 
 pair o dice 
 The lovers too of harmony are all birds of a father 
 The reason why I'll quickly prove they always flock 
 
 together [produced 
 
 They love to guard their little ones that nature has 
 And then at night like other birds retire all to roost 
 So I think I've prov'd to you and yon'll not deny my 
 
 words 
 ThisVorld is but a nest & mankind are only birds

 His heart soft with whiskey his head soft with b'ows 
 With his sprig of shillelah and shamrock so green 
 
 He meets with his Shelah who blushing awhile 
 Cries get agoiie Pnt and consents all the while 
 To the priest soon they goes & nine months after 
 
 that,

 With yonr sprig of shillelah ani shamrock .«o green 
 Bless the country say 1 that gave Patrick his birth 
 Bless the hind of the oak and its neighbouring earth. 
 Where grows the shillelah and shamrock so green 
 
 May the sons of the Thames the Tweed and tha 
 Shanno n (cannon 
 
 Drub the French who dare plant at their confines a 
 United and happy at loyalty's shrine 
 May the rose and the thistle long flourish and twine 
 Round .he sprig of shillelah aud shamrock so green.

 Dreamt last night of our earlier clays, 
 Ere I sigh'd for sword & feather, 
 Vhen we danced on the hill, in the 
 moon's pale rays. 
 Hand in hand together. 
 I thought you gave me again that kiss, 
 Mcro sweet than the perfume of spring 
 ^f hen I pressed on your finger love's 
 pure golden pledge — 
 The Bridal Ring ! the Bridal Ring! 
 
 I dreamt I heard then, the trumpet 
 sounds 
 And at once was forced to sever 
 '[ hat I fell on the heath with my last 
 Lost to thee forever! (death wound, 
 I thought that you gave me again that 
 kiss 
 Empearled like a flower in spring, 
 Neath its warmth I awoke on this dear 
 
 hand to press

 TUO' I'm but a chimney-sweep 1 took a liiket 
 To go on one evening to Dusty Tom's roon, 
 Who dancing now teaches — he knows how to 
 kick it. 
 For which he hfis quitted the shovel &- l)rroni 
 For bow & the fiddIe,pouchette down the niid'Ue 
 
 He^s quitted for ever the shovel and 'oroum, 
 The shovel and broom, the shovel and broom. 
 He has quitted forever the shovel and broocs, 
 
 I got for my partner, Paulina, the daughter 
 
 Of Master Mountsaddle,, the Angel Inn groom 
 Her red lip & plump figure made my month water 
 
 And I fell in love as ve valtz d round the room 
 O, sich a croatur! my eye, vot a creatur! 
 
 A partner so fit for a knight of the broom ; 
 The shovel and broom, a knight of the broom, 
 
 A partner so fit for the knight of the broom. 
 fhewhole of the next morning I thought of her 
 beauties, 
 
 And I my employment could hardly resume. 
 Neglected, in fact, my professional duties, 
 
 And valtzed in the streets as Fd valtzed in th • 
 
 room. (arter. 
 
 Till Jack Cragg, the carter, cried, Vot, are yo : 
 
 There twisting about vith your shovel & broom 
 Your shovel & broom, your shovel and broom, 
 
 For I valtzed in the mud with njy shovel and 
 broom. 
 Soon after, her father called me from the cellat. 
 
 To a job at his lodging, a first floor back room 
 As Pauline was alone there, 1 ventured to tell he 
 
 My love— but she vondercd how I could pre- 
 sume. 
 In the sphere I was moving to talk about loving 
 
 Aud she turned up her nose at the shovel 
 broom, 
 My shovel and broom, my shovel and broum. 
 
 She turned up her nose at ray shovel & broom 
 To implore her, 1 fell on my knees, but by Gemini 
 
 She spurned me, & quitted the room in a fura 
 So bewilder'd was I, when my boy left tke clvrm 
 
 ofiy» 
 I caird him Pauline, as he stood with & broom. 
 Then ranse the young beg:gar did guin like a»f^H\ 
 \ battered his head with myshouel and broom 
 My shovel and broom, my shovel, &c. 
 battered his head,&.c. 
 
 Oh, this was my first lovc,&. this I was crosseu 
 
 Ah, scorned by Paulina, how hard is my doom, 
 I grow nioloncolly»'his vorld I am lost in, 
 
 No nio-'e 1'*' go ■'•Itzing in Dusty Tom's rmor- 
 Bni think of her scorning crying sweep of a

 jT^KAR Tdm, this brown Jug which now foams 
 
 M ith good ale, 
 In which I will drink (o sweet Kate of the vale. 
 Was oiice Toby Philpot, a jolly old soul. 
 As e'er drank a bottle, or fathoni'd a bow 1 ; 
 In boozing about 'twas his pride to excel. 
 And among jolly topers he bore off the bell. 
 
 It chanced in do? days he sat at his ease, 
 In his tlower-woven arbour, as gay as you please, 
 with a friend and a pipe, pufling sorrow away. 
 And with honest old stingo was soaking his clay ; 
 His breath doors of life on a sndden were shut. 
 And he died full as big as a Dorchester butt. 
 
 His body when long in the ground it had lain, 
 And time into rlay had dissolv'd it again, 
 A potter found out in a covert so snug, 
 And with pn.rt of fat Toby he made tlis brown 
 
 jag; 
 
 Now sacred to friendship, to mirth, and iiwld ale, 
 So here's to uiy lovely sweet Kate of tlie vale.

The TARS of the

 Catnach, Printer, 2, Monmouth-court, 7 Dials. 
 
 YOU Frenchmen don't boast of your figkting^ 
 Nor talk what great deeds you hare done, 
 V)o you think that Old EngUad you'll frighten, 
 
 As easy as Holland or Spain, 
 \Ve listen and lanph while you threaten, 
 
 Your boasting and wily advance. 
 The boasting Le Picque has been taken. 
 By the jolly brave tars of tlie Blanch. 
 
 We sailed from the Bay of Point Peter, 
 
 Four hundrt'd and fifty on board. 
 We were all ready to meet them, 
 
 To conquer or die was the word, 
 While the can of good liquor was flowing, 
 
 Wegavc them three cheers to advance, 
 And courage in each heart was glowing, 
 
 For cowards ne'er sailed in the Blanch. 
 
 Tlie night then ad^'ancing uponua. 
 
 The moon did afford us a light, 
 f'ach star then with lustre was shining, • 
 
 To k«ep the French Frigates in sight, 
 
 bile the breeze gently filled our sails, 
 
 Our ship tbreugh the water didlaynch. 
 And the grog flew about in full bumpers. 
 
 Among the brave tars of the Blanch. 
 
 The fight made the sea seem on fire, 
 
 Eaeh biiUet distractedly flew, 
 Britiuinia ber*soni did inftplrtf 
 
 With cjflrsge that damped the French crew, 
 kfriitf coTra^Js now ^tiely maet ^i«, 
 
 Wlbil* cirar then, death turned his laace, 
 Our balls did wpeat as they flew, 
 
 Fight on my brave tars of the Blanch. 
 
 Wlien Falkner resigned bis last breath. 
 
 Each gave a deep tear and a sigh, 
 S«ch sorrow was found at his death, 
 
 With simpering, read, wept, and died, 
 LiKe Wolfe, then with victory cro%vn'd. 
 
 At bis death, he cried ne'er mind my chance, -; 
 But like gallant heroes fight on, '' 
 
 Or expire by the name of the Blanch. 
 
 Stout Wilkins his place soon supplied. 
 
 And like a bold actor engaged. 
 And his guns with more judgment to guide, 
 
 For the loss of his captaia enraged, 
 And who could bis fury allay. 
 
 When Le Picque alongside did advance. 
 For our masts being all shot away, 
 
 We grappled her close to the Blanch. 
 
 Our foremast and mizcn being gone. 
 
 The French thought they'd make us their own, 
 
 And with Vive le Republic sung, 
 
 • I thought they never would have done, 
 
 We joined their song with dismay. 
 And music that made them to dance. 
 
 And not a false note there was played. 
 By the harmonious tars of the Blaneh 
 
 When they found it in vain for to stand 
 
 fhey cried out for quarters amain, 
 j||()iOUgh the advantage they had, 
 
 g^jU Britoni are lords of the main, 
 8c» nu*^ round the grog, let it pass,

 AS I rode out on th, summer's morning, 
 Down by the banks of Blackwater side. 
 To view the groves and meadows charming 
 
 And pleasant gardens of Castle Hyde. 
 It is theire you will hear the thrushes warbling 
 
 The Dove and Partridge I now describe, 
 The lambkins sporting each night and morHtng 
 All to adorn sweet Castle Hyde. 
 
 If noble Princes from foreign places, 
 
 Should chance to sail to this Irish shore, 
 It is in this valley they could be feasted 
 
 As often heroes had done before. 
 The wholesonie air of this habitation, 
 
 Would recreate your heart with pride 
 There is no valley throughout this nation, 
 
 AVith beauty equal to Castle Hyde. 
 
 There's a church for service in this fine harbour 
 
 Where nobles often in their coaches ride 
 To view the streams and pleasant gai dens. 
 
 That do adorn sweet Castle Hyde, 
 There is fine horses and stall fed oxen, ' 
 
 And a den for foxes to play and hide, 
 Fine mares for breeding and foreign sheeping, 
 
 And snowy fleeces in Castle Hyde 
 
 The richest groves in this Irish Nation [i* 
 
 In fine plantations you'll find them there 
 The Rose and Tulip and fine Carnation 
 
 All vie with the Lily fair. 
 The Buck, the Doe, the Fox, the Eagle, 
 
 Do skip and play by the river side 
 The Trout and Salmon are always roviag^ 
 
 In those clear streams of Castle Hyde. ^ 
 
 I rode from Blarney to Castle Earnet^ 
 To Thomastown and sweet Donerait 
 
 To sweet Kilshanno»jk and gay Ratheormi«t, 
 Besides Killarney and Abbey-fail.

 The boatswain's shrill ^hisilehad sounded, 
 
 And Thomas an<l Nancy must part; 
 Her heart in her bosom it bounded, 
 
 While the tears in her blue eyes did start 
 " O Thomas, dear Thomas," said NancyJ 
 
 " When sailing aloniron the main, 
 O never forget ynr dear Nancy, 
 
 Remember tny love you are mine.** 
 
 O Nancy my love, I must leave you. 
 
 The signal for sailing is made, 
 Our parting, dear, let it not grieve yoti. 
 
 Nor that T should prove false be afraid. 
 Repressed her again ere they parted, 
 
 Then stepped to his boat from the shore- 
 Nancy sunk on the ground broken hearted, 
 
 For fear she should ne'er see him more. 
 
 The vessel flew swift o'er tlie billow. 
 
 Like a sea-bird she breasted the foam. 
 And Thomas, when laid on his pillow. 
 
 Thought of Nancy, his parents and home, 
 He pressed on his heart each love token, 
 
 And vowed to be constant and true. 
 The words that at parting she had spoken, 
 
 Be constant dear Thomas — adieu. 
 
 The ship made her port, and returning. 
 
 Scudded fast o'er the treacherous main. 
 Each bosom with ardour was burning. 
 
 To see his loved country as^ain ; 
 A storm rose with loud peals of thunder, 
 
 The lightning flashed over the wavcs„ 
 When a rock dashed the vessel asunder, 
 
 And the crew found a watery grave. 
 
 To the beach Nancy franlickly hurried, 
 
 And beheld a most pitiful scene 
 The corpse of her Thomas was carried^ 
 
 To the spot where so happy they'd tJ« ; 
 She kissed his cold cheek in hersoiro** 
 
 The tears told the depth of her grief 
 And 'ere the suu set on the morrow,

 The Soldier's Tear, 
 
 UPON the hill he tiirn'd, 
 To take a la«t fond look, 
 Of:he valley nnd the village church. 
 
 And the cottage by the brook, 
 Helisten'd to the sounds, 
 
 So familiar to his ear ; 
 And the Soldier leant upon his swerd. 
 
 And wiped away a tear. 
 Beside that cottage porch, 
 
 A girl was on her knees, 
 She held aloft a snowy scarf. 
 
 Which fluttered in the breeze ; 
 She breath'd a pray'r for him, 
 
 Aprayer he could not hear, 
 But he paus'd to bless her as she knelt, 
 
 And wiped away a tear. 
 He turn'd and left the spot. 
 
 Oh ! do not deem him weak. 
 For dauntless was the soldier's heart, 
 
 Tho tears was on his cheek.

 In danger's dark career, 
 Be sure the hand most daring there. 
 
 Has wiped away a tear.

BETSY BAKER. 
 
 FROM aoise and bustle far away, 
 Hard Wo^k my time em})loying, 
 How happilydid 1 pass each day, 
 
 Content and health enjoying; 
 The birds did sing and so did I, 
 
 As I trudged o'er each acre, 
 t never knew what 'twas to sigh, 
 'Till I saw Betsy Baker. 
 
 At church I met her dressed so neat, 
 One Sunday in hot weather. 
 
 With love 1 found my heart did beat, 
 As we sung psalms together; 
 
 So p ously she hung her head. 
 The while her voice did shake, ah 1 
 bought if ever 1 did wed, 
 Twould be with Betsy Baker. 
 
 Frtm her side r could not budge. 
 
 And sure I thought no harm on't, 
 My elbow then she gave a nudge. 
 
 And bade me mind the sarment ; 
 When church was over ©at she walked. 
 
 But I did overtake her, 
 Determined i would not be baulked, 
 
 I spoke to Betsy Baker. 
 
 Her manners were genteel and cool 
 
 I found, on conversation, 
 She'd just come from boarding-school, 
 
 And finished her education ; 
 But love made me speak out quite free. 
 
 Says I I've many an acre, 
 Will you give me your company, 
 
 I shan't, says Betsy Baker. 
 
 All my entreaties she did slight, 
 And 1 was forced to leave her, 
 got no sleep all that there night, 
 For love had brought a fever; 
 The doctor came, he smelt his cane, 
 
 With long face like a Quaker, 
 Said he, " Young man, pray, where' thy 
 pain?^' 
 Say;^ 1, " Sir, Betsy Baker." 
 
 Because 1 was not bad enough. 
 He Muted and he pilled v^e. 
 
 And, if I'd taken all his stuff, 
 1 think he must ha' killed me; 
 
 I put an end to all the strife, 
 'Twixt him and the undertaker, 
 
 And what d'ye think 'twas saved my 'ifc 
 Why thoughts of Betsy Baker. 
 
 I then again to Betsy went, 
 
 Once more with love attacked her 
 But mean time she got acquainted, 
 
 Wi' a ramping mad play actor; 
 If she would have him, he did say, 
 
 A lady he would make her, .^ 
 
 He gammoned her to run away. ^ 
 
 And I lost Betsy Baker. 
 
 I fretted very much to find. 
 
 My hopes of love bo undone, 
 And mother thought 'twould ease my 
 mind. 
 
 If 1 came up to London. 
 But though I strive another way. 
 
 My thoughis will ne'er forsake her, 
 I dream all night, and think all day, 
 
 Of cruel Betsy Baker. 
 
 SOLDIER'S Gratitude. 
 
 Hate'er my fate where'er I roam, 
 By sorrow still opprest, 
 I'll ne'er forget the peaceful home, 
 That gave a Wanderer rest. 
 
 Then ever rove life's sunny banks 
 
 By sweetest flowers strew'd 
 Still may claim a Soldier's thanks, 
 A Soldier's gratitude. 
 The tender sigh, the balmy tear 
 
 That meek-eyM Pity gave ; 
 My last expiring hour shall cheer. 
 And bless the Wanderer's crave.

 j^TY name is Argyle, you may think it strange 
 
 To live at a court, and never to change; 
 AH falsehood and flattery! do disdain, 
 My sacred thoughts no deceit remains. 
 At siege or battle I ne'er was disgrac'd, 
 I have always my king and my country fac'd, 
 Done every thing for my country's weal, 
 And feasted on bannocks of barley meal. 
 
 I'll quickly lay dowa my sword and my gun, 
 
 Put on a blue bonnet with plaidey abien, 
 
 With silk tartan hose, and my leather heel'd 
 
 shoon. 
 Then I'll become a bright sprightly loon; 
 When I'm so drest from top to toe, 
 A courting away to Maggy I'll go, 
 With my dirk and my hanger hung down to my 
 
 heel, 
 She'll feast me on bannocks of barley meal. 
 Then I'll bring a rich present unto my dear, 
 A bunch of green ribbons for Maggie to wear, 
 All this I will give, and as much mair, 
 If she would but go to Glasgow fair. 
 And when we are married, wc^'ll keep a cow, 
 My Maggie will milk it, and I will plough ; 
 Feast all the long winter on beef and long kail, 
 And whang at the bannocks of barley meal. 
 
 If ray Maggie should chance to bring forth a son, 
 Let him light for his king, as his daddy hath 
 done, (learn, 
 
 And send him to Flanders some breeding to 
 Then bring him to Scotland to keep a farm. 
 All this I will do, and industrious be, 
 Who will be so hap])y as Maggy and me, 
 She'll soon turn as fat as a Norvvay seal, 
 When feasting on bannocks of barley meal. 
 
 Farewell to you cities and towns all around, 
 The rattling of coaches down Drury-lane. 
 Ye bucks of the fashion I bid you adieu, 
 Your loaring and swearing I'll leave it with you. 
 For 1 am resolv'd for a country life, 
 No longer to live in that sorrow and strife ; 
 I'll off to the Highlands fast as I can drill, 
 There I'll feast on bannocks of barley meal.

 Till he said — '*Ive come bacK for to marry thee." 
 
 sair did we greet, and muclle did we say, 
 We took but ae kiss, and we tore ourselves away, 
 
 1 wish I were dead, but I'm no like to die. 
 And why do I live to say — O wae's me ! 
 
 I gang like a ghaist, and carena to spin,

 But I'll do my best a gude wife io be,

 Strange birds about us sweep — 
 Strange things come up, to look at us, 
 
 The masters of the deep, 
 In our wake, like any servant, 
 
 Follows even the bold shark, 
 Oh, proud must be our Admiral, 
 
 Of such a bonny barque. 
 
 Oh, proud must be our Admiral, 
 
 Through he is pale to-day. 
 Of twice five hundred iron men, 
 
 Who all his nod obey ; 
 Who've fought for him, & conquer'd, 
 
 Who've won with sweat and gore ! 
 Nobility, which he shall have, 
 
 Whene'er he touch the shore. 
 
 di, would I were an Admiral, 
 
 To order with a word. 
 To lose a dozen dropsof blood, 
 
 And straight rise up a lord j 
 
 I'd shout, to yon sharks there. 
 Which follow in our lee, 
 
 Some day ril make thee carry me. 
 Like lightning tLroiigh the sea. 
 
 Our Admiral ^^rew paler, 
 
 And paler as we flew, 
 Still talk'd he to the officers, 
 
 And smiled upon the crewj 
 And he looked up at the heavens, 
 
 And he look,d down on the sea. 
 And at last he saw the creatures. 
 
 That was following in our lee, 
 
 He shook — "'twas but an instant. 
 
 For speedily the pride. 
 Ran crimson to his heart, 
 T ill all chances he defied ; 
 It threw boldness on his forehead, 
 
 Gave firmness to his breath. 
 And he lookM like some warrior. 
 
 Now risen up frotn death. 
 
 That night a horrid whisper. 
 
 Fell on us where we lay, 
 And we knew our fine old Admiral, 
 
 \Vas changing into clay ! 
 And we heard the pash of waters, 
 
 though nothing we could see. 
 But a whisile and a plunge, 
 
 Among the billows on our lee. 
 
 Till morn we watch*d the body, 
 
 In its dead, and ghastly sleep ; 
 And next evening at sunset : 
 
 It was flung into the deep, 
 And never from that moment ! 
 
 Safe one shudder in the sea, 
 Saw we, or heard the creature, 
 
 Tlat had followed in our lee.

 IT was in the pleasant month of May, 
 
 When flowers they were spriugiiigy 
 As I was walking thro^ the grove, 
 I heard a fair maid singing; 
 She sung with a delightful voice,. 
 I thought she was some raugery 
 She was a cltarmitrg beauty bright^ 
 Just like the blue-eyed stranger. 
 With her that moment I was strucky 
 My heart did beat quite airable. 
 My eyes did drop a flood of tears, \ 
 My limbs did shake and tremble; 
 Down on my bended'knees I fell^ 
 And said, my dearest ranger, 
 I hope my boldness you'll excuse. 
 Are you the blwe.eyed stranger. 
 As soon as I these words had spoke^ 
 She stood like one amazed, 
 Then nothing could she say at all, 
 But still on me she ga/ed ; 
 My dear, said f, don't troubled be. 
 Be not surprised, sweet ranger, 
 Have you forgot the stormy night, 
 You charming blue-eyed stranger.'^ 
 You came unto my father's house. 
 When the rain was fast descending, 
 The wind blew hard, the night was d»ir>' 
 The elements were rending; 
 He took you. in under his roof. 
 And kept you safe from danger, 
 I am the son of that same man,

 All with great joy and pleasure.

 But it did make him still the bolder.

 To shun the spot where bullets hot. 
 
 Retain their rapid motion ; 
 But William said, he don't deserve

 To make a free surrender.

 And the foot to follow after.

 And twice ere the cock crew, I dreamt it again. 
 
 Ale thought from the battle-fields's dreadful array, 
 
 Far, far had I roam'd on a desolate track, 
 Till nature and sunshine disclos'd the sweet way 
 
 To the house of my fathers, that welcom'd me back.

 In life's morning march, when my bosom was voubb 
 heard my own mountain-goats bleating aloft, '

 THS BATTLE OF 
 
 ALGIERS. 
 
 } Cfttnarh, Printer, 9, Monmoutb-court, f t)ials. 
 
 jrf"^ fME all you Britons stout and bold, that love your aa- 
 %^ ' live land. 
 
 Rejoicing in our victory, Lord Exraouth gate command 
 \jOfd Exinmiili will your rights maintain, as you sliall plain- 
 ly see, 
 itrw yi^ fought like any iioos bold, to fct the Cluristians free 
 
 CHORUS 
 
 f^Hi British tars be steady, and maintain your glorious name 
 You will ever find Lord Exmouth to lead you into fame. 
 
 On thu twenty-seventh of July, in Plymouth sounds wa lay, 
 liord E\inoulh made a signal cur anchors for to weigh. 
 We exercised our great guns, believe me what I say, 
 Tbat we might do the best we could upon that glorioiis day. 
 
 When we came to Gibraller, for three days there we lay 
 Onr cabins there wp all knockotl down, our decks we cleared 
 
 V away. 
 
 That nothing in our way might bo for we their batteries saw, 
 Prepar'd to send the burning shots upon our decks below. 
 
 On t)je twenty ievenlh of Aup'u;* just by the break of day. 
 We espied the city of Algiers to windward of us lay. 
 All hands, all hands to quarters, it was the general cry. 
 Come load your guns with round and grape, before we draw 
 too nigh. 
 
 The first was the Queen Cliarl arte, so noblv led the van. 
 She was followed by the Superb, Captain Atkins gave com- 
 The rrexi was the Leander, with all her warlike crew,(mand 
 She wasfollwY^'d by tlieImpregnable,Reai Admiral of thcjilue 
 
 Now next k was the Albion, what I relate is true, (true, 
 The Mending and the Sovereign, tliey fought with courage 
 The Hebrew, Gravil and Glasgow, so well their parts (lid 
 
 play, 
 The Afgerinesfrom their batteries they strove to run away. 
 
 Now it is of six Dutch frigates, that did onr fleet combine. 
 Their Admiral a siirnal made for them to form aline, 
 They anchored by our batteries their admiral to them said. 
 Take pattern by those English lads, iliey shew you gallant 
 play. 
 
 N«w there's one thing more that I resale which is to be ad- 
 At five o'clock that afienioon we set the sliij)s on fire (mired. 
 Our rocket ships and bomb ships, so well tiieir parts did play 
 TTie Algerines from their batteries were forced to run a^'ay. 
 Pfow th<' trlorio-i^ action's over. Christians are set free, 
 ThcAlgeruies are boiiiid.k.wn no more for slavery, (declare, 
 Brtt if they break those terms of peace, Lard Exmouth doth 
 If he should visit them again, not one of them he'll spare. 
 Now WT* .1 verse I'll finish and completelvend my song. 
 Here's » health to I^^rd Exmouth, and mavhis days betonft 
 Wc will hotiowr Capiabi Atkins, and his officers so true,

 Dials. & at 14 Waterloo Road, (Late Hill's.) 
 
 Britons long expected j^reat news from our fleet, 
 Commanded by Lord Nelson the frenchfor to meet 
 At length the news came over, through the coun- 
 try it was spread, 
 That the French were defeated, but Nelson was 
 dead. 
 
 Not only brave Nelson, btit ihousands were slain' 
 By fighiing of the French iipori the watery main 
 To protect England's glory, its huaor, & its wealtk 
 We (ought & would not yield, 'till we yialisd i \ij 
 
 de&th. 
 The merch«."t«( of Yarmouth hearing us say so, 
 Said come brother sailors to church let us go. 
 And there we will build a niost beautiful pile. 
 In ren» :'Tib' ranee of Nelson, the Hero of the Nile 
 
 Your plan says Britannia, is excellent good, 
 A n)onument for Nelson, a sword for CollingW(s.od 
 Let it be ol polished marbleto perpetuate his name 
 And in letters of gold write, ' He died for En- 
 gland's fame. 
 
 A I seamen and soldiers, as 1 have been told, 
 They've order'd themselves in readiness to hold, 
 Their fights to maintain, their cause to support, 
 From any invasion keep each British port. 
 
 Both soldiers and sailor mighty deeds they have 
 
 done, 
 Their sous in ir- eign parts many battles have won 
 It he Nile ccuid but speak, or Egyj.'t •-'eclare, 
 Al the world with Lord Nelson mey could not 
 compare.

 ONE Summers eve, all labour o'er, 
 
 And birds were sweetly singing' 
 A poor old tai, worn out with age 
 
 Thro' our villajre came a bey^ing. 
 I pitied his sad mournful tale,°^ 
 
 For at pity I'm no railer 3 
 Pray, bestow your charity ! >iaid he, 
 
 On a poor old worn-out Sailor. 
 
 When false reports came hojue 1 was dead 
 
 My poor wife died broken-hearted 
 My daughter she roam'd, 1 knew not where 
 
 And for ever more to be parted. ' 
 
 1 was wreck'd of all in this world 1 hehldear 
 
 Poor girl! I oft bewail her; ' ' 
 
 If I could but her find, she'd a comfort be 
 
 To a poor old worn-out Sailor. 
 
 Despise my hull, I pray now don't 
 
 'Cause I've got shabby riggiijn- 
 I'd rather work, if I had'mylimrrs', 
 
 Thau I'd be seen a begging. 
 For I'm like a ship distress d at sea 
 
 Without one friend to hai! her ' 
 
 Then pray bestow your charity. 
 
 On a poor old worn-out .Sailor, 
 
 As thus he sang his mournful tale, 
 
 A female gazed upon him; 
 She burst into tears, in tra/isport wild 
 
 And sank upon his bosom. ' 
 
 O father! she cried, for 'twas his child 
 
 Whose duty ne'er had fail'd her; ' 
 Come you home, and liv*- and die with me 
 
 You poor old worn-out Sailor. ' 
 
 For I've a home, and a husband dear. 
 
 Most kindly he will treat you, 
 Altho' you're poor, and cloth'd in rags, 
 Right welcome he will greet you, 
 nd when you resign your parting breath, 
 My duty shall ne'er' know failure, 
 V see yoiilaid in your silent grave. 
 You poor old worn-out Sailor.

 For robbing for gold it was my own folly, 
 Paying for good liquor to treat deceitful Molly.

 As I was going over Calvert mountains, 
 1 met with Captain Everet, his money he was counting, 
 First I drew my pistols and then I drew my rapier

 Musba, &c. 
 
 Oh ! when I got his money, it was a pretty penny, 
 I put it in m} pocket and took it home to Molly, 
 ^^Tien she swore by what was good, that she never would 
 
 deceive me. 
 But the devil take the women for they never can be easy. 
 
 Musha, &c. 
 
 Being both wet and weary, I went to Molly's ohaoibcr, 
 I went to Molly's chamber for to have a slumber, 
 Tbea she flew unto my pistols and she loaded them with 
 water, 
 was draged out of my bed just as a lamb to be slaughtered.

 It was early next morning between six and seven. 
 Surrounded by policemen and likewise Captain Everet, 
 
 fixed oflf my pistols and powder, but was mistaken. 
 I fired off the water and a prisoner was taken.

 LAST April morn as I walk'd forth, '

 i heard a voice so loud and sw6w<, 
 I could not but go there. 
 
 Her grarb was mean her tattered gown 
 
 Upon her shoulders hung, 
 Wifh blooming cheeks and eyes cast dowR, 
 
 And as she walk'd along. 
 
 Come here, me pretty girl says I 
 
 And tell to me your name. 
 All in your basket I will bay. 
 
 Come sell to me the same. 
 
 1 thank, you now kind sir she said^ 
 
 1 have not much to sell, 
 And if you buy those of me., 
 
 I cry no more to day. 
 
 Altho' a pleasant girl was she. 
 
 Her forttine would not smile, ^ 
 
 She's more than fortune's child to me 
 
 Where love should make her mine. 
 
 I gave her all that was in my power, 
 
 So blythe she tript away, 
 I never shall forget that happy hour, 
 
 I heard her cross the way. 
 
 Where should I hear in lane nr street, 
 
 Her note so loud and sweet, 
 I long my blue ey'd girl to meet, 
 
 And hear her cry again.

 |HE s;<iose on the shopboard was work'd pretty fast 
 And ihe steam rose in clouis as it went hissing 
 paj't, 
 As heavily labourfd the hard-working Snip, 
 Like a cioss legg'd old Sultan, the cloth on his hip. 
 And dnll were the men — they could scarce raise a Iau>;h 
 Except when llie guv'nor sent up half and half, 
 A youns; woman set in thekitch'n below 
 And calling her child by a name ruyther low. 
 She bawled to its did, 'midst its squaling so wild, 
 Oil, Bodkin! dear IJodkin, come do-xn to this child ! 
 
 I pass'd — tiie young brat, very quiet did lay, 
 And the sliveys like winking kept stiiching away, 
 The needles shone bright in ihe sun — it was .Tune — 
 And a chap on the slio] board tr^ed to win.- tie a lune, 
 There was joy in the shop, you could judge by their 
 
 tone. 
 And fondly within'em they wished the work home, 
 The tailor's wifa hugged her young hrat to her breast 
 And she sung- Molly Biwn, cos it suited l)er best. 
 And her hnsbcud SAt siitching away by her side, 
 And he lnoked once or twice very swcei on his bride, 
 How happy said be when this here work is o'er. 
 We'll go toGravesend, if we can't to the Nore, 
 Already in fancy the steamers I spy. 
 And the smoke from the funnels njounting sl^y high. 
 The Windmill Hill (Jreen, wiib the swings and the

 And denkeys to ride on inclndinof the fills —

 Cold is the heart that strives to adhere,

 DOMESTIC DISAPPOINTMENT 
 
 ^'^HE voyage was past, ana England's sh«i« 
 i Had met my longing view, 
 I left the ship and sought the cot, 
 .That held my lovely Sue ; 
 She flew to meet me, in each eye. 
 The tear of joy had started. 
 Thank heaven thou'rt safe, my love, she CTy% 
 We'll never more be parted. 
 
 Two lovely boys my Susan brought. 
 They hung about my knees, 
 Now let who will be King, I said. 
 Give me such joys as these ; 
 Just as I spoke a press-gang came, 
 Poor girl ! she shriek'd and started, 
 Then caught my hand, and cry'd, dear Jack 
 I fear we must be parted. 
 
 INIy children wept, in vain I told 
 
 How long I'd been away, 
 
 They said my King requir'd my aid. 
 
 They dar'd not disobey ; 
 
 My Susan cri'd, its hard my love. 
 
 But be thou not faint-hearted. 
 
 The powers above will guanl the brave. 
 
 We sobb'd adieu, and parted. 
 
Oh, lil Yrarm you 
 
 MY mother said to me one day. 
 Why Billy, you seem lazy, 
 I i you don't go and get a wife, 
 
 You'll drive your mother, crazy ; 
 So go my boy to London town, 
 I know no one will harm ye, 
 Then en my life you'll get a wife, 
 And she will nicely warm ye. 
 "Where'er you go, the high and low, 
 
 In London will alarm ye, 
 Astheyrun about they bawl & skomt, 
 And whistle, now I'll warm ye. 
 
 1 met a lass none could surpass. 
 
 She looked at me so funny, 
 And said w'th joy. I say old boy, 
 
 Have you goi any money; 
 Oh, arn't it veiy cold said she. 
 
 Her loving woids did charm me, 
 And if you will come home with me. 
 
 My love, I'll n.cely warm ye. 
 
 b\e tcok me up a dirty court, 
 
 The like I saw not never, 
 A :d then I had a fine tuck, out, 
 
 Of 'lied fat tripe and liver. 
 She squeezed me tightly by the throat, 
 
 By gum she did alarm me, 
 Says I, old gal, what are you at. 
 
 Says she, I'm going to warm ye. 
 
 ^"e threw poor I upon the ground, 
 
 Mj eyes rolled in their sockets, 
 And then her pretty finger went 
 
 Right bang into my pocket. 
 My watch and money quickly flew. 
 
 Such doings did alarm me, 
 She all the wnile, said with a smile, 
 
 Old cock, I am going to warm ye. 
 
 Then I met with a lass called Jane, 
 
 And she was gay and frisky, 
 Ske took me into a dirty lane, 
 
 And paid for gin and vwhiskey. 
 ©h she was such a pretty girl. 
 
 So sweet s she did charm me. 
 She said she would, and so she did, 
 
 Oh, so help my, never, warm me. 
 
 I saw the Queen go'through the park, 
 
 And folks was in a bustle, 
 I saw a man called Palmerston, 
 
 And another called Jack Russell, 
 She called them to the carriage door, 
 
 Her features did so chaim me. 
 When she said, old chap, mind what you 
 are at, 
 
 Or I will nicely warm ye. 
 
 Oh, Lonofu is a famous place. 
 
 There's lots of Kits and Sallys, 
 There's lots of courts for fun and sp of. 
 
 And 1( ts of lanes and alleos. 
 And if lie weather shoo'id be cold 
 
 There s plenty things to charm ye. 
 And blooming girls with lings and curls. 
 
 Who very soon will warm yc. ., 
 
 I now will roam and toddle hoiu«, 
 
 Since I'm completely urdono, 
 And tell the folks it is no joke, 
 
 To walk the streets of Lonoon. 
 I'll say to mother s»nd old dad, 
 
 I don't wish to alarm ye. 
 But if you don't mind what youSr* at, 
 
 By gum, L'U nicely warm ye. '

 THE 
 
 iHarmer's Grave. 
 
 and Co., Printers, t and 3, Monmouth Court, 
 Seven Dials, where an immenBe namber of songs are 
 always ready. 
 
 I REMEMBER the night was stormy 
 wet, 
 A.nd dismally dashed the dark wave. 
 While the rain and the sleet 
 Dark and heavily beat 
 On the mariner's new-dug grave. 
 
 I remembei, 'twas down in a darksome dalo, 
 4Lnd near to a dreary cave, 
 Where, the wild winds wail 
 Round the wanderer pale. 
 That I saw the mariner's grave 
 
 I remember how slowly the bearers trod. 
 And how sad was the look they gave. 
 
 As they rested their load 
 
 Near its last abode, 
 And gazed on the mariner's grave 
 
 ^I remember, no sound did the silence breal* 
 As the corpse to the earth they gave, 
 Save the night-bird's shriek, 
 And the coffin's creak. 
 As il sunk in the mariner's grave. 
 
 1 remember a tear that slowly slid 
 
 Down the cheek of a mess-mate brave 
 It fell on the lid. 
 And soon was hid, 
 For clesed was the mariner's grave. 
 
 Now o'er his lone bed the brier creeps,^ 
 And the wild-flowers mournfully wave 
 And the willow weeps, 
 Au d the moon-beam sleeps 
 «jm the mariner s silwit graye.

 WHY fair maid in every feature. 
 Are such signs of fear express'd ! 
 Can a wandering wretched creature,

 Do my frenzied looks alarm thee, 
 
 Trust me, sweet, thy fears are vain 
 Not for Kingdoms would I harm thi-c.

 From that hour has reason never, 
 
 Had her empire o'er my brain, 
 Henry fled, with him for ever 
 
 Fled the wits of Crazy Jane. 
 
 Dost thou weep to see my anguish ? 
 
 Mark me and avoid my woe, 
 Wl,en men flatter figh and languifh, 
 
 Think them false, 1 found them so 
 For 1 loved him fo fincerely, 
 
 None could ever love again, 
 But the youth 1 lov'd so dearly,

 And with frenzied thoughts beset.

 THE 
 
 Smii^rant's 
 
 FAREWELL. 
 
 Ryk and Co., Printers, 2 & 3, Mownowtb Court, 
 
 Bioumsbury. 
 
 THE ihamrock rose and I overheard conversing, 
 While Britannia mournfully stood and for awhile, 
 Ou the subject of Emigration together they were dis- 
 coursing^, 
 And the dark clouds of pover y that seto'eT Briton'sisle 
 Sure brothers dear, the shamrock cried, the suflenngs i 
 
 have undergone, 
 To gain an honest livelihod has caused me to deplore, ^ 
 That my mind is wrought to such a state, i am resolved 
 
 to emigrate. 
 I And seek the comforts here denied, upon Australias shore 
 
 My now anhapi>y country once flourished with prosperty 
 It's hardy sons arose at morn lo prepare for daily toil, 
 With hearts as light and minds as bright as the shannon 
 
 or the lifley, 
 And at niifht to their humble cabins was welcomed with 
 
 a smile ; 
 But the chilling hand of famine has our fertile fields 
 
 laid prostrate, 
 Our iron hearted landlords has turned us out of doors. 
 And the neglect of our absentees, has reduced our homes 
 
 to fcuch a state. 
 That I will hid atlieu to Old Ireland to seek Australia's 
 
 shore. 
 
 Then up spoke a poor artizan, who England's rose did 
 
 represent, 
 "Whose sunken eyes and visage pale bespoke a heart 
 
 o'ercharged with grief and care ; (content. 
 
 When I was for ray labour paid, i gaily work'd in sweet 
 But now like you and thotisands more I am driven to 
 
 despair, 
 Oartyranttask-niaslers grind us down, till our trade 
 
 we cannot live, 
 Such arbiiary systems no longer 5'U endure, 
 But seek employment where for a fair day's work a fair 
 
 day's wages we'll receive, 
 
 ^ 
 
 And strive lo live in happiness on fair Anstralia's shore. 
 
 IS tliert a man throughout this land^ould behold the 
 
 partner of his heart, • 
 Or hear his child en cry for bread when no relief was near 
 Who for one moment could heve a sigh, or grieve from 
 
 England to part. 
 To seek that succour in a foreign land that is denied 
 
 him here ; 
 Methjnks I hear you say not one to slay at home could 
 
 have a wish, 
 Or else his boasted sirenglh of love indeed must be 
 
 mt St poor. 
 To cure him of his churlish mind, let 4iim with savage 
 
 beasts exist. 
 Nor alow him lo contaminate fair Australia's shore, 
 
 E'lgiand possesses far more wealth to what it did in by- 
 gone days, 
 
 And yet the poor man had iu those days of comforts 
 had his share. 
 
 But initead of bft)ein£r scattered ruund, they sweep it 
 in large heaps. 
 
 Audits keepers with a misers eye wa;ch it with a 
 jealous care ; 
 
 Sujch selfish acts brings to light that rigtit is overcome 
 by might. (core, 
 
 But time will prove their golden fruits are rotten at the 
 
 So with my brothers lia<id iu haud I'll quit this pride- 
 tainted Babylon, 
 
 And seek ahmoe on that fair land call'd Australia's shore 
 
 Britannia tearfully replied, my sons, i grieve with yon 
 
 to part, 
 Gnd speed your passage out across the briny main, 
 In bright hopes offutnre endeavour to forget the past. 
 May my blessings rest upon your headsaml you to fame; 
 The vessel spread her swelling sails the emigrants on 
 
 board they flew, 
 I heard them raise their voices high amid the billows roar 
 They eried farewell to England to thee one lasting long 
 
 abieu. 
 And the gallant barque sped on her way to Australia's 
 
 shore. 
 
 Urink to me only 
 
 With thine Eyes 
 
 Drink to me only with thine eyes. 
 
 And I will pledge with mine. 
 Or leave a kiss but in the cup. 
 
 And I'll not look for wine ; 
 The thirst that from my soul doth rise. 
 
 Doth ask a drink divine ; 
 But might I of Jove's nectar sip, 
 
 1 would not change for thiae. 
 
 I sent thee late a rosy wreath. 
 
 Not so much honouring thee, 
 Ab giving it a hope that there, 
 
 It would not wither'd be ; 
 But thou thereon didst only breattie. 
 
 And sent it back to me ; 
 €ince when it grows and smells,! Bwew, 
 
 Not of itself, but thee.

 FAREWELL. 
 
 FAREWELL, mother ! tears are 
 streaming 
 Down thy pale and tender cheek : 
 I, in g"ems and roses gleaming, 
 
 Scarce this sad farewell may speak. 
 Farewell, mother ! now I leave thee : 
 Hopes and fears my bosom swell : 
 One to trust who may deceive me : 
 Farewell, mother, fare thee well ! 
 
 Farewell, father ! thou art smiling ; 
 
 Yet there's sorrow on thy brow, 
 Winning" me from that beguiling 
 
 Tenderness to which I eo. 
 Farewell, father! thou didst bless me. 
 
 Ere my liys thy name could tell : 
 He may wound who should caress me : 
 
 Father, guar Man, fare thee well ! 
 
 Farewell, sister ! thou art twining 
 
 Round me in affection deep ; 
 Wishing joy, but ne'er divining 
 
 Why a blessed bride should weep. 
 Farewell, brave and gentle brother ; 
 
 Thou more dear than words may tell : 
 Father, mother, sister, brother, 
 
 Al beloved ones, fare you well.

 To the hunter's hounds were free ; 
 The merry men rode through brake and glen. 
 
 To meet at the trysting tiee. 
 And then was seen, in Lincoln green, 
 
 Full many a yeoman bold, 
 With a good yew bow, for buck or doc, 
 
 And a steed of Stalworth mould, 
 And loud and lasting was their glee, 
 As they drank to the brave old trjsting lii.,^^ 
 
 At early dawn on merry May day. 
 
 The welkin would ring with glee ; 
 And the villagers carried the queen of May, 
 
 To be crowned at the trysting tree ; 
 Bright eyes would glance, in tne joyous dance, 
 
 And the merry pipe would sound. 
 While the old m'an's tale, and the nut-brown ale, 
 
 Would add to the mirth around ; 
 And the leaves would shake on the brave old tree. 
 In joy at their rustic revelry. 
 
 Young lovers have met 'neath his giant shade 
 
 When the curfew closed the day ; 
 And there has many a maiden prayed 
 
 For her loved one far away : 
 Kings have died in their regal pride, 
 
 And storms have swept the land ;

 Does still maintain his stand; 
 And may he live another race lo aef. ^

 COME all you brisk young sailors bold, 
 
 That plough the raging main. 
 Come listen to my tragedy, 
 
 And I'll relate the same. 
 Tis prest I was from my true love, 
 
 She is the girl I do adore. 
 And sent I was to the raging sea, 
 
 Where foaming billows roar. 
 
 To the East Indies we were bound, 
 
 Our gallant ship to steer, 
 And all the way that we sailed out, 
 
 I thought of my Polly dear. 
 
 Before a storm did rise, 
 The raging seas ran mountains big*, 
 
 And so dismal was the sky. 
 
 Sometimes alone with grief I moaa 
 
 While others are sporting on. 
 Had I but my Polly here, 
 
 I ne'er would make my moan. 
 Sometimes on deck, sometimes aloft 
 
 And oftentimes below. 
 The thought of Polly runs in my head 
 
 Tho* the stormy winds do klow. 
 
 Our captain being a valiant Man, 
 
 Upon the deck doth stand, 
 A full reward of fifty pounds 
 
 To the first that see land. 
 Our boatswain up aloft did go, 
 
 On the main top so high, 
 He looks all around o» every side. 
 
 Neither light nor laad espy'd. 
 
 He being ftremast of the ship, 
 
 A light he chanced to spy, 
 Bear off my lads keforcthe wkni. 
 
 Some harbour we are nigk. 
 Bear off my lads before the wkid, 
 
 The Scilly rocks that clear, 
 On the ocean wide we must abide, 
 
 Till day-light doth appear. 
 
 The very first time o«r gallant ship simek, 
 
 So loud the captain cried. 
 The Lord have mercy on us all, 
 
 We in the deep shall die. 
 Out of •ighty seamen bold, 
 
 'Twas four got on shore. 
 Our gallant ship to pieces went. 
 
 And never was seen more. 
 
 O when this news to Plymouth cam* 
 
 Our gallant ship was lost, 
 Caused many a fine young sailor bold.

 LOVE not, love not, ye hopeless sons of clay, 
 Hope's gayest wreaths are made of earthly

 Things that are made to fade and fall away. 
 When they have blossom'd but a few short 
 
 hours. Love not, love not. 
 
 Love not, love not : the thing you love may die, 
 May perish from the gay and gladsome earth ; 
 The silent stars, the blue and smiling sky. 
 Beam on its grave as once upon its birth. 
 
 Love not, love not. 
 
 Love not, love not : the thing you love may 
 
 change ; 
 The rosy lip may cease to smile on you ; 
 The kindly beaming eye grow cold and strange ; 
 The heart still warmly beat, yet not be true. 
 
 Love not, lore not. 
 Love not, love not ! oh, warning vainly said, 
 Ir present hours as in years gone by ! 
 Love flings a halo round the dear one's head- 
 Faultless, immortal, till they change or die. 
 Love not, love not.

 TflE sultry climes of foreign shores. 
 May bid Lusanna's flow'rs to blow ; 
 But there is one in Erin's isle. 
 
 That I love far beyond them O. 
 Its leaves unfold the patriot's heart; 
 
 In honours course keeps steering O : 
 It's still the same midst heat and cold : 
 
 *T is the shamrock of my Erin, O. 
 The rose may bloom, its crimson hue, 
 
 And every son of Albion charm ; 
 The thistle, Caledonia's pride, 
 
 May twine around each bosom warm; 
 But hail to thee, thou plant so dear, 
 
 In my lov'd land appearing O I 
 'T is still the same midst heat and cold: 
 
 'T is the shamrock of my Erin O. 
 
 A plant thou art so true and dear. 
 
 Ever blooming fresh and fair. 
 No matter what it does appear, 
 
 None can outshine the shamrock O. 
 The flow'rs In spring may bloom, *t is true 
 
 But after all, they fade, you know : 
 Then here's to the sweet shamrock green! 
 
 Thou art an emblem of my Erin O. 
 
 O was I now in Erin's isle, 
 ' No sadness would befall me O; 
 The time so sweet it would beguile, 
 
 'Midst scenes of joy and pleasure O 
 But alas ! I 'm on a foreign land, 
 
 With nought but wildness round me O; 
 Exil'a from my native land

 Ryleand Co., Printers, 2 and 3, Monmouth-couri, 
 Seven Dials. 
 
 VVherever I wander, wherever I stray, 
 
 I think on my ohihlh.iod an«l fond mother's days. 
 
 And as by myself I sit pensive alone, 
 
 I look back with pleasure on my first dear home. 
 
 WheQ ffrown up to manhood if away you ^hoald 
 
 steer, 
 Some thousands of miles frem your birth-jHace, so 
 
 dear. 
 If into ifreat dangers yon should happen to roam. 
 You will think with a'smile on your own dear home, 
 
 If you are blest with a wife, in affliction you'll find, 
 
 A nurse and a parent both tender and kind. 
 
 Who fondly will chfiish you and weep while you 
 
 moan. 
 There is no place on earth like your own dear home. 
 
 The scripture says if you'll be happy through life, 
 Leave father and mother and cleave to your wife. 
 She will never forsake thee and leave thee alone, 
 But welcome thee kindly to thy own dear home. 
 
 And if amongst strangers you should happen to no 
 In broils and in tumults overwhelmed with woe. 
 Thou would'st say to ihyself,what induced me to roam 
 Or to ramble away troui my own dear home. 
 
 When a man from his lahour returns in the eve. 
 To them whom he did in the mornift^soon leave. 
 His wife and his children flock round him alone, 
 And welcome him kindly to his own dear home. 
 
 There he sits down in comfort by his own fire side. 
 Has w hat he desires, ther's nothing denied, . 
 He hears the winds whistle while he sits alone. 
 And finds every plea5urc in his own dear home. 
 
 Hts children hang round him then so merriljr. 
 One clings to his arms, one creeps to his knee, 
 Bereft of all sorrow with his children alone, 
 He linds no place so pleasant as his owu dear home. 
 
 And when his last hour in this world arrives. 
 He blesses his babes and his partner, and (ifet. 
 Then his wife aud children in sorrow will roam. 
 To see him conveyed to his last home.

 OH ! the merry nen of Eng-land. 
 They are valiant, stout and bold, 
 They're manly hearts to o;^uard their rights 
 
 Theii fathers won of oid •, 
 They've sturdy frames to forge the arms. 
 
 That guard onr native shore, 
 And stalwart limbs to wield them too. 
 
 As Britons did of yore ; 
 Though other lands are bright and gay. 
 
 The one dear s^wt of eartli, 
 A Briton proudly loves to own, 
 
 Is that which gave him birth. 
 Go 'mid the *tnrdv peasant band, 
 
 And tell me truly then, 
 What nation boasts the happy homes 
 
 Of England's meiry men. 
 
 Oh ! the merry men of England, 
 
 Are our island's pride and boast, 
 Theo fill with stout and galltnt hea 
 
 The ships that ^uard our coast ; 
 And while we praise a Nelson 
 
 As the hero of the seas, 
 We'll Bc'er forgst the men f 
 
 Who I'clp'd to gain the victories ; 
 The standard of our ocean home 
 
 The breeze still proudly braves, 
 Fer never will a Briton yield 
 
 The mas-'ery ot the waves. 
 Oh I shout ye for our sailors bold. 
 
 And tell mo truly then. 
 What nat'on boastf such gallant tars, 
 
 As England's merry men. 
 
 Oh ! the merry men of England, 
 
 They're loyal^to their Queen, 
 And long to guard the British fair,J 
 
 Their pride and boast has been ; 
 They never bow, nor bend, like slave 
 
 To those of high degree, 
 But with the proudest in the land' 
 
 Claim equal liberty; 
 Yet Anarchy's destructive b a 
 
 Is driven from our shore, 
 The people's equal laws and rights, 
 
 They ask— and nothing more. 
 Then look the world around ag^fn, 
 
 And tell me truiy then, 
 What nation boasts such happy home? 
 As England's mer*rj men.

 She has braved it before, and will brave it again ; 
 
 The fire-gleaming flashes around us may fall — 
 
 They may strike, they may cleave, but they can-

 Ol'' my wife ( will sing in praise, 
 She is the comtort of my days, 
 The solace and the pleasme of my life ; 
 My joys and sorrows she does share, 
 With her 1 know no care, 
 There is no treasure in this world like a wife. 
 
 JMy wife she is ever true and faithful, 
 Adversity will not cause her for to roam, 
 All trouhles slie heguilcs, 
 With her artless winning smiles. 
 No friend is like u good wife at home. 
 
 1 n peace we live at home, 
 
 We have a cottage of our own, 
 No angry words are he.\rd within our door ; 
 
 And tho' frugnl is our fare, 
 
 We still have some to spare, 
 To contrihute to the wants of the pyor. 
 
 My wife she is ever, &c 
 
 When from labour 1 repair. 
 What happiness is there. 
 My welcome she proclaims with a smi'e ; 
 To meet me my chddrc'ii run, 
 With their pretty prattling tongues, 
 While with pride their motlier looks ou the 
 • while. 
 
 My wife she is ever. 
 
 When my evening m^al is o'er, 
 
 1 seek my cottage do>)r, 
 Sui rounded by those that I love dear ; 
 
 Where I envy not the great, 
 
 Nor would 1 change my state, 
 To become a titled knight or a peer. 
 
 My wife she is ever, 8cc. 
 
 Then I lay me down to rest, 
 
 \nd thank Heaven I am blest 
 With treasures, such as gold caniwt buy ; 
 
 And may they continue long, , 
 
 Till the sand of life is run, 
 And lam gathered witli the dust for to lie. 
 My wife she is ever, &c. 
 
 So men take my advice. 
 And a woman never slight. 
 For a wife is your best fr.tnd as 1 will prove 
 For in affliction you will find, 
 She never will repine, 
 Flit with kindly words your mind she will 
 3O0the, 
 For a good wife is ever true and faithful, 
 Adversity will not cause her to roam, 
 For on my word you may <lepend, 
 If you wish for a true friend, 
 Ihat friend must be a good wife at home.

 And ofl to the brokers hecarrit d ; 
 Hesold both the poker and tongs; — 
 
 Oh I 1 wish 1 had never been nuvrried. 
 He has but one shirt to his back :

 Sometimes for a ha'p'orth of starch, 
 
 A week or a fortnight I've tarried ;

 Oh ! 1 wish I had never been married 
 Whenever he buys any meat — 
 
 Once a month, or 1 'm greatly mi

 It is only a sheep's head and pluck. 
 
 Or a small bit of liver and bacon. - 
 He says bread and butter is dear. 
 
 And times are most shocking and horrid

 Oh I 1 wish 1 had never been married 
 
 To the landlord the rent he won't pay. 
 
 Because, he declares, he 's not able 
 He has nought to be taken away 
 
 But two broken chairs and a table; 
 For the bedclothes, the kettles, and broom 
 
 And washing tubs, off he has carried 
 May old Nick fetch himoff very soon t

 For a poor man lives now on 8 Shillings, a week. 
 
 Such times in old England, there never was seen 
 As the present ones now ; but much better have been

 Our venerable Father remember the year,

 He then could live well keep his family neat, 
 But now he must work for'Eight Shillings a week"

 They'll beat down their wages and starve thenj

 And it I beat her with the poker. 
 Why she mustn't say a word. 
 
 I should, vkv.

 She must kiss me and undress noe.

 A FAIR girl was sitting in a greenwood shade, 
 List'ning to the music the spring birds made 
 When sweeter by far than the birds on the tree, 
 A' voice murmured near her *' Oh come, love, with 
 
 me, 
 la earth or air a thing so fair. I have not leen at 
 
 thee 
 Then come love, come love, oh come, love, wi 
 me.

 Thou wilt add fresh grace to the beauty of night 
 Gr, if wealth be by wish, thine are treasures un

 I will shew thee the tirth-place of jewels and gold 
 And pearly caves beneath the waves: all these, a 
 
 these, art thine. 
 If thou wilt U ine, love, j>f: thou will be min*.'* 
 
 Thus whispered a fairy, to tempt a fair girl. 
 But vain was his promise of gold and of pearl: 
 For she said, "Though thy gilts to a poor gir.

 My father, my mother, my sisters are here. 
 Oh, what would be thy gifts to i«» , of earth

 IN a valley fair I wandered o'er it's 
 meadow pathways green, 
 Wlier*r llie rippling brook was flowing like 
 
 the spirit of the scene, 
 1 saw a lovely maiden with a basket bri.a- 
 
 ming o'er — 
 With sweet buds, and so I asked her, for 
 a kiss, and nothing more. 
 
 chatted on besi«le her, and I prais'd lier 
 liair and eyes, 
 
 riul like roses in her basket, on her cheeks 
 saw blushes rise : 
 VV ith timid looks down glancing, slie said 
 
 will you pass before ? 
 Bnt, said I, now all I want, is just a smite, 
 and nothing more ! 
 
 So she sliyly smiled upon me, and we still 
 
 ke[)t wandering on ; 
 \^ hat with siniling,blushing,chattinu;,soon 
 
 a brief half hour was gone ; 
 Then she told me I must leave her, for she 
 
 saw the cottage door ; 
 Not I, until I'd rifled just a kiss, and no- 
 ft thing more. 
 
 Thus for weeks and months I woo'd her/and 
 
 the joys that then have birth, 
 Made an atmosphere of gladness seem 
 
 encircling all the earth ; 
 One bright morning at the altar, a white 
 
 bridal dress she wore. 
 Then my wife 1 proudly called her, and 
 
 asi: tor nothing more.

 1 caird At an ale-bouse to spend half-an-hour 
 As I sat smoking, beside tne a glass, 
 By chance there came in a >omig Indian lass. 
 
 She sat down beside me and squetz'd my hand, 
 She said you're a stranger, not. one of this land, 
 I have fine lodgings, if with m>: you'll stay, 
 My portion you shall have without more delay. 
 
 With a glass of good liquor she wtlcoai'd me in, 
 Kind sir, you are welcome to have anything ; 
 But as 1 embraced her this was her tune, 
 You are a poor sailor and far from your home. 
 
 We toss'd and '*'e tumbled in each others arms. 
 And all that long night 1 embraced her sweet clmsms 
 With rural enjoyment the lime passM away, 
 I did not go to leave her till nine the next day. 
 
 ■ This lovely young Indian on the place where she 
 stood, 
 I view'd her swt-et features and foii.id they were good 
 She was neat tall, and hauJsome, her age was six-

 She was bornand brought up inaplace near Orleans 
 
 The day was appointed he was ^ oing away. 
 All on the v/ide ocean to leave her to stav. 
 She says when you are o'er in your own native land 
 Remember the Indian that squeez'd your hand. 
 
 Early next morning we were going snil, 
 This lovely joung Indian on the )each did luewail, 
 I took off my handkerchief and wiped her eyes, 
 Do not go an.l leave me my sailor she cries. 
 
 We weighed our anchoi away then we flew, 
 With a sweei andpleasant breeze, and parted me 
 
 from ner view, 
 But now 1 am over and taking my gl^ss.

 FAREWELL my dearest Henry, «ince you to sea must go. 
 To plougli the raging ocean, and to face the dariHg ft«e. 
 Oh, think of your poor Mary Ann, vvhe:) on< (^areign sliore. 
 You have vow'd that there is none but me you hwer can adore. 
 Then take this pledge of love, 'tis a ring; I broke in two, 
 One half then I will keep tnyself, that I may think of you, 
 My love I'm sure it cannot change — be falte I never can — 
 One kiss my lt»ve before we part, be true to Mary Ann. 
 
 From childhood we hare Isved, but since it must be so, 
 That you have chosen a sailor's life, mild may tlie breezes blow, 
 And waft aiy own dear Henry, safe back to England'* shore, 
 It is then we shall be married love, I hope to part no more. 
 Then go, my jolly sailor, my heart still beats for you, 
 And may kind fortune spare your life in all dangers you go thro'. 
 So do your duty manfully, let virtue guide your hand. 
 To return to bless your faithful girl, your own dear Mary Asn. 
 It was early the next morning, just by the break of day, 
 ■ The order came on board to quick sail out to sea, 
 The boatswain piped all bands aloft, my lads come haste away, 
 The anchor's -weighed, the gallant ship sailed proudly through the 
 There to foreign lands, faraway from home they steer, [bay. 
 
 Some think upon their sweethearts, and some their parents dear. 
 And each unto his pretty girl, they t«ss the flowing can. 
 Hurrah, my boys, young Henry cries, here's to my Mary Ann. 
 
 And when upon the oc«an, when seas rose mountain high. 
 
 Young Henry he was first aloft, all dangers did defy. 
 
 Respected by his officers, beloved by all the crew, 
 
 A smarter sailor never stept, or wore a jacket blue, 
 
 It was his happy fortune, his captain for to save. 
 
 Upon the coast of Africa, while struggling with the wave. 
 
 He threw himself into the sea where both about were toss'd, 
 
 The boatit came, one moment more, his life would have been lost. 
 
 They cruised about in different parts, for three long years or more. 
 At length the order came on board, to sail for England's shore. 
 Unto that land that gave them birth, with all they held- so dear, 
 The perils past, the ship at last into the port did steer. 
 The ship it laid in harbour, and then the jolly ercw. 
 They gave three cheers at parting, each other bid adieu, 
 The captain gave him fifty pounds and teok him by the hand, 
 And then young Henry married was unto his Mary Ann.

 As 1 walked out one morning fair, al in the^ summer-Bia 
 F.»ih bush and tree was dressed in green, and valleys' 
 their prime; 
 Returning hoaie from a wake, thro* the 6eld» I took my way, 
 And there I met a comely maid, by the dawning of the day. 
 Mo shoes or stockings, c»p or cloak, this comely maid did wear 
 Her hair, Uke shining silver twist, hung o'er her shoulders bare 
 With milking pail within her hand, so noble and so gay; 
 And she appeared like Venus bright, at the dawning of the day 
 Her cheeks were like a ro<ie in bloom ; her skin like liliea, fiir 
 Her breath like lavender perfumes, that scents the balmy air: 
 She did appear like Helen, fair, or Flora, queen of May: 
 This angel bright did me delight, at the dawning of the day. 
 Said I, sweet, lovely female, where are you for so iooii t 
 I'm going a-milking, sir, she said, all in the month of June, 
 The pasture where thai 1 must go, it is so far away, 
 1 must be there each morning clear, by the dawning of the day* 
 You've time enough, my dear, said he, suppose it was a mila 
 So on 'his velvet primrose bask, let's sit and ehat awhile: 
 O, sir, she said, my hurry will admit of no delay, 
 Lood round, the morning breaks, 'tis the daivuing of the dav. 
 As tlius she spoke, my arms entwined about her lovely waist, 
 1 set her on a primrose bank, and there did her embraeo*. 
 Leave off your freedom, sir, and let me go my way ; • 
 The time is come— 1 cann't delay, it 's the dawning of theda 
 But when the lovely damsel came to herself again, 
 With heavy sighs and downcast eyes, she sorely did complain: 
 Youug man, she said, I'm much afraid that you did me betniy; 
 My virgin bloom you've got too s«(<n, by the dawuihe d 
 
 I kissed my love ai parting, and then crossed o'er the plai»| 
 And in the course of seven months we there aid meet agaia 
 She seemed to be dropsical as she whlked o'er the lea; 
 And carelessly 1 paosed by her at the noontide of the day. 
 The tears ran down her rosy cheeks, and bitterly she cried, 
 And said, young man, I think it's time that i was n}ade your btM* 
 I pray make good the damage done, as you before did lay, 
 And don't forget the time we met by the dawning of th« 
 
 I id, fair lovely damsel I hope you'll me excuse

 crew, Tthroug-h, 
 
 It IS more than a poor man can puU himsel/ 
 m the morning- he finds he's quite wet at the hip, 
 His clothes are quite wet, and his shirt is bes- -t, 
 So this is the comfort of a married life, 
 I wish in my heart 1 had never a wife. 
 
 In the morning- 1 g^o to my breakfast at eigrht, 
 But the devil a spark of fire is in tb€ grate. 
 My wife she lays snoring like a pii^ in a stye. 
 But there's never a bit of breakfast fori. 
 If I ask her to rise, O she flies in a pet, 
 And bawls out beg-one, for it's time enough yet, 
 Get thy breakfast thyself, and \)e off to thy work, 
 And do not not stay here for to idle and lurk. 
 
 The dinner-time comes to my home I repair, 
 'Tis a thousand to one if my wife I find there, 
 She's gadding- about with the child on her knee. 
 And the devil a sign of a dinner for me: 
 
 con id 1 but once more be single again, 
 T!'t> finest of women should ne'er me trepan. 
 And ,-,0 I'd remain all the days of my life, 
 Grra;. Iqck to the man that has got such a wife. 
 
 At night when I come sadly tir'd from my work, 
 vVhen 1 open the door she let's fly like a Turk, 
 Take that young squalling brat, and get it to 
 
 sleep, 
 ^or all the day long no peace ran I keep. 
 And if I should offer the job to refuse, 
 Vi' ;th the longs or the poker she would me abuse. 
 And this is the comfort attending our I&m, 
 , w:*fl that tiie^Kvil had all such wives.

 And who dare inhale her mouth's spicy

 On the flower mantled banks of Killarney 
 Her smile vvould impart thrilling joy to

 As Igaz'don the charming Kate Kearney; 
 On the banks of Killarney reclining, 
 My bosom to rapture resigning, 
 I've felt the keen smart of love's fatal dart,

 BOYN WATER 
 
 TULY the first at old Rrido-e f-wn, 
 There happen'd a r;lorir>ns baft'e. 
 Whore many a man lay on the STOiind, 
 
 By the cannons tfrat did rallie ; 
 King- James he pitch'd tils (ents between, 
 
 The lines for to retiro, 
 But William threw in his red shot. 
 
 And .«et them all on fire. 
 Thereat the enemv vow'd revev^ge, 
 
 Ag-ainst king- W'iliiam's forcf s, 
 And oft did cry most veh(;ment'y, 
 
 That they would stop their courses ; 
 A l)ullet from the Irish came, 
 
 Which graz'd kin»- William's shoulder, 
 They thot!0"ht his Majesty had been slain, 
 
 But it did make him still the bolder. 
 Duke Schomberg- with friendly care, 
 
 The king- did caution. 
 To shun the spot where bullets hot, 
 
 Retain their rapid motion ; 
 But William said, he don't deserve. 
 
 The name of faith's deft-ndi-r. 
 That will not venture life and limbs, 
 
 To make a free surrender. 
 The horse they were to march o'er first. 
 
 And the foot to follow af;er, 
 But the "ood duke Schomberg- vvas no more 
 
 By venturiniT over the waier ; 
 i.et not my soldiers be dismayed. 
 
 For the loss of one commander, 
 For God will be your kin^ this day, 
 
 And I a general under. 
 The cunning: Frenchmen near Dundalk 
 
 Had taken up their quarters. 
 And feuc'd ihemitlve^ on every side. 
 
 Waiting: for their new orde.s, 
 Bui in the mid time oi the nij^iit, 
 
 They set their lield.- on tire, 
 Afid before the morning Jight, 
 
 To Dublin did retire, 
 i'lie proleslauts of Drogheda, 
 
 Have reason to be thankful, 
 For when they were prisoners bound. 
 
 They were but scarce a handful ; 
 First to Tholsel they were broug:ht. 
 
 And next to Mil-mote after. 
 But good King William set them free- 
 By venturing over the water. 
 But let us all kneel down and pray. 
 
 Now and for ever after. 
 And never more forget the day.

 THE BLOOMING ROSE OF BRITAIN'S 
 ISLE. 
 
 Ymi pretty maidens, pmy p;-ive attention, 
 
 Unto my ditty, pray list awhile ; 
 I will inform yon of a lovely damsel. 
 
 The bloominp^ Rose of fair Britain's LslCi 
 
 Slie was the danpfhter of a Wealthy merchant, 
 And fortnne on her did seem to smile^ 
 
 No lass in Europe there scarce could equal 
 The blooming- Rose of jfiiir Britain's Isle. 
 
 A rich younp^ squire hef mind did fire. 
 His tales of loVe he listened to awhile. 
 
 While he to ruin was all schemes contriving, 
 The blooming- Rose of fair Britain's Isle. 
 
 To his tales she did With att<?ntion listen. 
 While he deceiving her W-as all the while, 
 
 His ways and manners in the mind did glisten, 
 Of the blooming- Rose of fair Britain's Isle. 
 
 And when the villain had gain'd her affections 
 In wickedness he did often smilc^ 
 
 He soon decoyed from her tender parents. 
 The blooming Rose of fair Britain's Isle. 
 
 When scare sixteen, full of youth atid beauty, 
 
 From her parents she travelled many a mile, 
 While her tender parents were in grief la- 
 menting, 
 
 For the blooming Rose of fair Britain's Isle. 
 When scarce six months with her vile seducer, 
 
 She had resided, he turned each smile 
 On another fair one, and soon discarded, 
 
 The blooming Rose of fair Britain^s Isle* 
 
 Bereft of home in a foreign countty, 
 
 In grief she wandered o'er many a mile. 
 
 Crying, " tender parents how did I deceive you!" 
 The blooming Rose of fair Britain's Isle. 
 
 While snow was falling on a drcaiy moun- 
 tain, (wild, 
 
 And the roaring winds they did whistle 
 Into the world brought a lovely offspring, 
 
 Did the blooming Rose of fair Britain's Isle. 
 
 In pain and anguish awhile she suffered, 
 And frantic gazed on her lovely child. 
 
 At length grim Death came and seized the in- 
 fant, 
 And the blooming rose of fair Britain's Isle. 
 
 You pretty maidens pray take a warning, 
 
 Shun a seducer's deceitful smile. 
 For if you give way they will soon deceive you. 
 
 Like the blooming Rose of fair Britain's Isle

 She loved and was beloved again

 From morning rise to set of sun,

 How sweet was his reward ;

 THE DUSTMAN'S BROTHER. 
 
 My moralizing muse attunes. 
 
 Mankind von in their cradles. 
 That some are born to wooden spoons, 
 
 And some to silver Indies. 
 A nobby fortin' I have made, 
 
 And rides vene'er I chooses, 
 Besides 1 drives a roarin„'' trade. 
 
 Through 'polio and the muses. 
 I boast an ancient pedigree, 
 
 And yarn a tidy crust can, 
 Apollo Bell they christened me, 
 
 I'm brother to the dustman. 
 In early life I always seemed. 
 
 To feel an hincliiiatiun, 
 To rise above tiie common class. 
 
 Of mortals in my station. 
 At Sunday school, I could the boys 
 
 All round my finger twist 'em. 
 For readin— and I larn'd to write, 
 
 By the Lanky-steerin system. 
 
 i boast, &c 
 J wish'd a climbing boy to be, 
 
 And rising by progression, 
 J swept through all, and soon did see. 
 
 The top of my profession ; 
 i.iul for a sweep I got too fat, 
 
 Too boney and too bargy. 
 
 I found I shouldn't eoot for that, 
 And so I sack'd the clargy. 
 
 I boast, &0. 
 BTif Innrin'' is a dangerous thing, 
 ^ Lord Byron he determines, 
 I've read Joe Miller's Iliad, 
 
 And Mister Shakspeare's sarmons. 
 The Pilgrim's Progress, done by Bojj, 
 
 And Bunyan's Jest Book handy, 
 Sterne's work on Shipping, Coke oo gna 
 And Milton's Tristram Shandy, 
 
 I boast dsoi 
 In mnsic I made rapid strides. 
 
 For being a steady goer. 
 In parish Church I got a birth, 
 
 To hact as horgan blower ; 
 And of a veek day used to try. 
 
 The tipperv to bring in. 
 And Flander a brick and hearth stone 
 cry. 
 And nightly ven't oat singing. 
 
 I boast, fiio. 
 My vifo has got a charming woice> 
 
 For sprats and vatercreeses. 
 And of a morning vorks from (^oice^ 
 
 At noon her labour oeafles. 
 And then she flares up in our shay^ 
 
 Vith H tiger, fierce as any — 
 And I goes bawling all the day, 
 
 " Here's songs, throe yards a penny f 
 I boast, &o. 
 Here's ' EUen 111 love thee ao more,' 
 
 I through the stret^ts am hooting 
 Likewise ' The death of General Mo<h«

 brings 'em round me quick as tnc 
 And sells a precious many. 
 
 ' Oh. say not woman's heart is booght* 
 
 At just three yards a penny.

 I used to hear the young'uns cfaaua(» 
 
 At ould Vestminster Abby, 
 And so I 'quired it wery soon, 
 
 Tho' I was but a baby ; 
 Besides my mother, (by-the-byiQ^ 
 
 A clever fortin teller,) 
 By her enchantments found oot 1 
 
 Vos meant for a chant seller. 
 
 Iboast,&iv 
 I've got a son, a clever lad. 
 
 At musie quite a gorgoa. 
 
 He blowa the drum by wbj o( faif. 
 
 And plays tho barrel organ ; 
 But laming the young wiper hatesj 
 
 And oft his head I towels, 
 'Cause he exhasperates tlie H. 
 
 And \"oat pronounce the wowala. 
 
 I boast, Sni. 
 When other tradesmen am't awala, 
 
 I mounts my smdls and jockevs. 
 And sometimes does my elbow shaken 
 
 Ven I drops in at Crockey'a ; 
 How I've become so gre^it a e*j«il, 
 
 I hates all useless banter, 
 Nq conjurer it needs to tell,

 I boast^ Ae. 
 And ven I die and goes to dust, 
 
 (I'm grave, although I c-an't cry ; 
 My head will make a liandsome bust, 
 
 If cut by master Chanterv ; 
 Or of me statue should tliey raiae.

IN THE DAYS WHKN WK WENT 
 LUSHY HOME A LONG TIME AGO. 
 
 In the days when we went lushy home 
 
 A long time ago, 
 When Palaces was not in vogue, 
 
 And cash vornt half so low, 
 No valley cream ve'd stomach then, 
 
 Ve vos'nt quite so green, 
 But nothing but old Hodges' best, 
 
 Upon our board was seen. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 And so we pass the lushy time, 
 
 Of spirits we'd a flow, 
 In the days when we went lushy home, 
 
 A short time ago. 
 
 At night our eyes was black from fight, 
 
 O many felt the fray, 
 With Peeler's rattles springing. 
 
 While we in the gutter lay. 
 *Twas then we heard our spouses' tongues. 
 
 With many ups and downs. 
 And oft a jolly row begun, 
 
 For spending all the browns. 
 
 We took a diop at every shop. 
 
 Of gin and peppermint, 
 And wish'd our brats might turn out trumps. 
 
 And might they never squint. 
 We toasted max with all our might, 
 
 And may we never see, 
 The day it ever should give way, 
 
 To temperance and tea. 
 
 And shotild we ever pay for more, 
 
 Or take a glass be seen, 
 We'll drink, we will, and no mistake, 
 I Lord love our lovely Queen. 
 jMay she live long respectable, 
 \ To every dodge be down. 
 She'll find we prophecy correct, 
 
 She'll never want a crown.

 Dey batter your sconce just for pleasure. 
 
 In de station-house put you for fun. 
 They prig allyour money and treasure. 
 
 And de beak fines you when it is done ! 
 
 Talk of, &c. 
 The ministers plunder de nation — 
 
 A set of rapscallions and calves ; 
 Dey bother de poor wid taxation. 
 
 And glut while poor Johnny Bull starves, 
 Dere's one tax — by my sowl I don't blundelkv* 
 
 De window-tax, 'tis dat I manes ; 
 I'm sure you'll all tink it a wonder. 
 
 To make de poor pay for their pains I 
 
 The bishops wid gospel dey stuff ye. 
 
 And for it don't charge very dear : 
 'Bout heaven and sich like dey puff ye. 
 
 For just twenty thousand a year ! 
 Fine luxuries dey must be camng, 
 
 Dere holy paunch it must be cramm'd, 
 But if a poor man says he's starving, 
 
 They tell him to starve and be d — d. 
 
 The magistrates they're kind and tender. 
 
 And justice they deal out so prime — 
 The beggar they deem an offender. 
 
 And poverty think a big crime. 
 To the wretch who's no roof to get under, 
 
 Or victuals his belly to fill — 
 They cry, in a voice loud as thunder, 
 
 " I shall send you six weeks to the Mill.** 
 
 The overseers work upon sure rates, 
 
 A set of base swindling elves ; 
 They distress the housekeeper for poor-rates. 
 
 And suck all the money themselves : 
 The pauper whose wants are bewild'ring, 
 
 When he ventures his sorrows to speak. 
 To keep himself, and his wife and six children, 
 
 They gave him two shillings a ween.

 THE OLD MAID." 
 
 HEN I was a girl of eighteen years old, ^ 
 
 I was scornful as scornful could be, ^ i 
 
 I was taught to expect wit, wisdom, and gold, '*' .V 
 And nx>thing else would do for me. 
 
 Those were the days when my eyes beam'd bright, 
 And my cheek was like the rose on the tree. 
 
 And the ringlets they curl'd o'er my forehead so while, 
 And lovers came courting to me. 
 
 The first was a youth any girl might adore, 
 
 And as ardent as lover could be ; (^was poor, 
 
 But my mother having heard that the young man 
 Why ! he would not do for me. 
 
 Then came a duke with his coronet of gold, 
 
 And his garter below his knee, '- 
 
 But his face like his family was wonderfully old, 
 So he Would not do for me, *■ 
 
 The next was a baronet whose blood red hand f 
 
 Was emblazoned in heraldry ; » 
 
 But having been known at a counter to stand, '' 
 Why he would not do for me. 
 
 hen hobbled in, my favour to beg, ; 
 
 An admiral, a K.C.B. ; 
 But though famous in arms he wanted a leg, * 
 
 And that would not do for me. 
 
 Then came a parson burlcy and big, 
 
 Expecting a very rich see; 
 But I could not bear the thought of a horrid buz-wig, 
 
 So he would not do for me. 
 
 Then came a lawyer his claims to support 
 
 By precedents from chancery; 
 But I told him I was judge in my own little court, 
 
 And be would not do for me. 
 
 The next was a dandy who had driven four in haid, 
 
 Keduc'd to a tilbury ; 
 In getting o'er the ground he had run through his land. 
 
 So he would not do for n>e. 
 
 Then came a nabob just landed six weeks. 
 
 Late governor of Trinoomalee ; 
 His guineas were yellow, but so were his cheeks ; 
 
 And lie would not do for me. 
 
 He was nearly the last, I was then forty-four, 
 
 I'm now ouly just fifty three ; 
 But 1 really Uimk that some I rvjected before,* 
 
 Would now do vastly well for me. 
 
 My ringlets 1 borrow, my roses I buy 
 
 And I go about to cards and tea ; 
 But if ever I venture on an ogle or a sigh, 
 
 Why ! nobody returns them to me. 
 
 Then all ye young ladies by me warning take, 
 
 Who scornful or cold chance to be ; 
 Lest ye from your silly dreams should avafee , ' 
 
 Ola maidens of fifty-three. ' ^ 
 
WILL YOU 
 
 COME TO THE DALE. 
 
 WILL yon cotpe to the dale let your Mary 
 prevail. 
 For oft I've heard yoii declare ; 
 That you ne'er would decline in these pleasures 
 
 to join, 
 Jf Mary, clear Mary, was there. 
 If Mary, dear Mary, was there. 
 
 Ah why then refuse, say what can excuse, 
 Yotir hasting- our pastiines to share ; 
 See bright shines the sun, the sports have begun. 
 And Mary, dear Mary, is there. 
 
 Ah why then delay, art thou tempted to stray. 
 
 By some rival more wealthy and fair; 
 
 Sure your heart would reply its fond tenant an^#I, 
 
 That Mary, dear Mary, is there 
 
 That Mary, dear Mary, is there. 
 
 But alas, should it prove that another you love. 
 And to church with your bride should repair.; 
 Should some willow tree wave o'er a new pover- 
 
 ed grave. 
 Think Mary, dear Mary, lies there. 
 
 THE 
 
 WELCH HARP. 
 
 OVER the sunny hills I stray, 
 Tuning many a rustic lay ; 
 And oft times in the shady vale, 
 J sjnf>- of love and battle tales 
 Merrily thus I spend my life, 
 Though poor my breast is free from strife, 
 The blithe old harper call'd am I, 
 In the Welch vales 'midst mountains lygh. 
 
 a(omeiimes Defore a castle gate. 
 
 in song of battle I relate ; 
 
 As how a Lord in shepherd's disguise, 
 
 JSougrii favour in a virgin's eyes, 
 
 W.tii rich and poor a welcome guest, 
 
 Wo cares intrude upon my breast. 
 
 The blest old harper, &c. 
 
 Wtien Sol illumes the western sky 
 And evening zephyrs soflly sigh,

 BONNY BOY. 
 
 IT was once I loved a bonny'boy, 
 I loved him I vow and protest, 
 I loved him so well, so very well, 
 
 That I built him a birth in my breast. 
 
 I built him &c. 
 It was \\\) the green forest and down the green 
 forest, 
 
 Like one that was troubled in mind, 
 I hooped and I called and I played on my flute, 
 
 But no bonny boy could I find. 
 I looked up high, and I looked down low. 
 
 And the sun it shone wonderful warm. 
 Who should I see but my bonny boy. 
 
 He was fast in another girl's arms. 
 Then he stretched forth his lily white hand. 
 
 And he thought 1 was at his command. 
 But 1 passed by and never cast an eye. 
 
 And he thought 1 was bound in loves band. 
 Then he took me on his dissembling knee. 
 
 And he looked me in the face, 
 He gave me a dissembling kiss. 
 
 But his heart was in another girl's breast. 
 
 that girl that enjoys my bonny boy, 
 I am sure she is not to blame. 
 
 Many a long nighl he has robbed me of my rest 
 But he never shall do it again. 
 
 DEAR CHLOE, COME GIVE ME 
 . SWEET KISSES. 
 
 DEAR Chloe come give me sweet kisses, 
 For sweeter no g\t\ ever gave. 
 For while in the midst of my blisses, 
 You ask me how many I'll have. 
 
 1 am not to be sthitetf m ple.iiiure. 
 
 So pray dear Chios be kind, 
 For since I love thee beyond measure, 
 
 To number I'll ne'er be confined. 
 Count the Dee that enambles the plain, 
 
 Count the flowers that enamblo the fieJd, 
 Count the flock that is in a tempest straying, 
 
 And the groves that rich selers yield. 
 Count how many stars there's in Heaven, 
 
 Go number the sands on the shore. 
 And so many kisses you gave unto rae, 
 
 Yet I still shall be asking for more. 
 To a heart full of love let me hold thee, 
 
 A heart which dear Chloe is thine. 
 In my arms I for ever enfold thee. 
 
 And twirl round thy neck like the wiatl. 
 What joys can be greater that these, 
 
 F.'re my life on your lips shall be spent. 
 The wretch that can number these kisaet 
 
 Should always with few be content.

 From the vale of St. Taffy the flower of North Wales; i 
 
 My father and mother too, live at Lldng;ollen, 
 
 Ooo<l trulh ! I was born in that sweetest of vnles : 
 
 Vee, indeed, and all countries so foreign and beautiful, , 
 
 That little valley I prize far above, 
 
 For indeed in my heart, I de love that Llangollen, 
 
 And s^eet Jeuny Jones too, in truth I do love. 
 
 For twenty long years 1 have plough'd the salt oceans, 
 
 And serv'd my full time in a man-o'-war ship, 
 
 And 'deed, goodness knows, we had bluodful engagements! 
 
 And many a dark storm in the pitiless deep. 
 
 And Fve seen all the Hnds that are famous in story, 
 
 And many fair damsels to gain me have strove ; 5 
 
 But I said in my heart, I do love that Llangollen, 
 
 And sweet Jenny Jones too, in truth I do love. 
 
 Fve seea good king George, and the lord IMay'r of London, 
 
 With kings of far countries, and many a queen. 
 
 The great pope of Rome, and the ducbess of Angouleme, 
 
 Up from king George to sir Watkin Fve seen. 
 
 But no, not princesses, kings, dukes, nor commissioners, 
 
 No, goodness knows it, u.-y envy could move : 
 
 For indeed in my heart, I do love that Llangollen, 
 
 And sweet Jenny Jones too, in truth I do love. 
 
 I parted, a lad from the vale of my fathers. 
 
 And left Jenny Jones then a cockit young lass : 
 
 But now Fra return'd a storm-beaten old mariner, 
 
 Jenny — from Jones, into Morgan shall pass. 
 
 And we'll live on our cheese and our ale in contentment, 
 
 And long thro' our dear native valley will rove ; 
 
 For indeed in our hearts we both love that Llangollen, 
 
 And sweet Jeimy Morgan with truth will I love. 
 
 PRETTY GIRLS OF LONDON. 
 
 Let poets sing about the fair. 
 
 And praise their wit, their grace and air. 
 
 The country has its damsels rare, 
 
 Who many hearts have undone. 
 But for rosy cheeks and forms divine, . 
 For sparkling eyes and teeth so fine, 
 No other maidens can outshine. 
 
 The pretty girls of London 
 
 The dandy takes such mighty c«re, 
 To spruce his person, curl his hair. 
 Wears whiskers too a killing pair, 
 
 And thinks he's not by one done. 
 Then up Bond street he struts so gay. 
 Smokes his Havannah on the w«y. 
 He swaggers m his hne arrnv 
 •^ To charip the girls of London 
 
 The shopman saves up all his cash. 
 About the streets to cut a dash, 
 In beauty's heart to malce a smash. 
 
 With pride enough to stun one. 
 On Saturday he his clothes gets out. 
 On Sunday proudly struts about. 
 But on Monday his toggs go up the spout 
 
 Thro' treating the girls of London. 
 
 The chimney swepper cries • I wow, * 
 
 I hate this wulgar calling now, 
 I means to be a slap up beau. 
 
 And goes vhere there is fjJn done. ' 
 I'll vosh my skin so lilly wmte. 
 And sport my Benjamin all rigHiJ^' 
 Then shan't 1 tiare up, blow me tigKt, 
 
 And gammon the girls of LJ|odoiW 
 
 The jolly tars just come ashore, ^ 
 With shiners in his purse galoi|k 
 Struts out in quest you may bjiure. 
 
 Of a port where there is fun^one. 
 As drunk as Chloe he rolls about. 
 Amongst the lasses makes a rout. 
 But ofieu he gets cleaned out, * 
 
 By the pretty girls of LondllH. 
 
 Apprentice boys who men would be. 
 All wish to charm the fair d'ye see, 
 So with their master's cash make free. 
 
 Until they find they're undone. 
 Each place of fashion they are at. 
 Drink their champaign and quiz the fat. 
 Then sport the blunt and cut it fat. 
 
 With the pretty girls of London* 
 
 Old gentlemen of sixty-four. 
 
 By gout and asthma plagued 8« sore, 
 
 Inspireti with love, feel pain no more. 
 
 And anxious as a young man. 
 Cry 'talk of age — poll, poh, all stuff, 
 Fm quite a, lad and hale and bluff, 
 Fin sixty-four, that's young enonifb. 
 
 For the pretty girls of London. 
 
 So in every rank, in evepy stage. 
 The London ladies are the rage, 
 Their beauty charms both yovith and ii^, 
 
 'J'hey really arc by none done- 
 Their bliss, tfieir lovely faces dear. 
 Where'er or when they may appear. 
 And may good fortune ever cheec.

 OW all voung- men that's g'oing- to wed. 
 Don't be catch'd like a bird with a sftjall bi^ 
 oi" bread, 
 For when you are catch'd remember for life, 
 J'J liaveyou be careful in choosing- a wife. 
 Fot women'« deceitful, and so very unkind, 
 "J'wouW puzzle a lawyer to know their own mind, 
 And when you have done the best that you can, 
 The silliest woman will outv/it a man. 
 
 Fol de rol lol. 
 
 For when you are wed, and a squaller is born, 
 A Kian may then work his poor fing-ers to the bone, 
 There's the midwife and nurse, and gossoping- 
 crew, T thro ugh. 
 
 It IS more than a poor man can pull himsel/ 
 m the morning he finds he's quite wet at the hip. 
 His clothes are quite wet, and his shirt is bes- -I, 
 So this is the comfort of a married life, 
 I wish in my heart I had never a wife. 
 
 In the morning I go to my breakfast at eight. 
 But the devil a spark of fire is in the grate, 
 My wife she lays snoring like a pig in a stye. 
 But there's never a bit of breakfast for I. 
 If I ask her to rise, O she flies in a pet, 
 And bawls out begone, for it's time enough yet, 
 Get thy breakfast tlivself, and be ofT to thy work, 
 And do not not stay here for to idle and lurk. 
 
 The dinner-time comes to my home I repair, 
 'Tis a thousand to one if my wife I find there. 
 She's gadding about with the child on her knee. 
 And the devil a sign of a dinner for me: 
 
 © could 1 but once more be single again. 
 The finest of women should ne'er me trepan. 
 And so I'd remain ail the days of my life. 
 Great iuck to the man that has got such a wife. 
 
 At night when I come sadly tir'd from my work, 
 vVhen 1 open the door she let's fly like a Turk, 
 Take that young squalling brat, and get it to 
 
 sleep, 
 for all the day long no peace ean I keep. 
 And if 1 should offer the job to refuse, 
 W;th the longs or the poker she would m« abuse, 
 And this IS the comfort attending our li'^ai,

 Dan Tucker lived in a nice little hut, 
 
 The hair of his head was as black <»s soot, 
 
 He went to bed, it was of no use, 
 
 Cos his legs stuck out for the chicken (o roost. 
 
 Get out of tic way, old Dan Tucker, 
 
 You're too late to have some supper, 
 
 Old Dan Tucker he got drunk, 
 
 He fell in the fire and kicked up a shunk, 
 
 De charcoal got inside his shoes, 
 
 Lord ha* mercy heney, how the ashes fllew. 
 
 Dan Tucker had a bit of gristle, 
 
 He put it on the fire and kicked up a frietle, 
 
 De fat it fell upon his toes. 
 
 Oh ! dear honey, hov^ he turned up his nese 
 
 Dan Tucker was a hateful sinner. 
 
 He neber said his grace at dinner, 
 
 De little pig shout, de old pig equall, 
 
 He opened his mouth and swallowed dem ^i, 
 
 Dan Tucker was a nice old man, 
 He used to ride old Dobbin biun, 
 He sent him whizzing down the hill, 
 If he's not got up, he's lying d»Me still.

 OUR life's a day's joirney to you I

 It's a pleasure with us to find out the 
 
 best way. 
 Through life's rugged path we very well

 We must have our ups and downs as we 
 go- 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 So in all your transactions let this be 
 
 your plan, 
 Fof the welUve of others as well as you 
 
 can. 
 Do your duty, love mercy, and all unite 
 
 together. 
 And travel through life like birds of a 
 
 feather. 
 
 We cannot expect every day in the year 
 
 Will prove unto us without trouble or 
 care. 
 
 If it thunders or rains let us never des- 
 pair. 
 
 If it's stormy to daythe next maybe fair. 
 
 If you meet with a female that has gone 
 
 astray. 
 Or by some artful villain deluded away. 
 Then pity her weakness and soften her 
 
 pain, 
 Persuade her to turn to the right path 
 
 If you meet with a stranger whose way 
 he bad lost, 
 
 Or through life's rugged path is trou- 
 bled and erost. 
 
 Take him home to your cottage, and 
 nourish his blood,

 THE rain rain fell in torrents, the wind whistled 
 shrill. 
 
 The thunder pealed loud from the cliff. 
 When wjth terror the bosom of Mary wng filled, 
 
 As she thought on the fisherman's skill'. 
 In vain near the Foreland, his tackle to cast, 
 
 Plied Robert — undaunted he lay ; 
 The gentlest of swains yet in dariut,' the blast, 
 
 The noblest of Burlington Bay. 
 
 Night came, not a moment poor Mary she slept, 
 
 Still louder the storm, seem'd to roar : 
 She lay & she trembled, she watched & she wept, 
 
 And at morn bent her steps to the shore. 
 But, ah, what a heart-rending sight, 
 
 Broken fragments and wrecks scattered lay, 
 And amongst them was Robert, her hope & delight 
 
 The boldest of Burlington Bay.

 ?i. Albert wifihes to go to Ireland 
 
 Go lo Ireland did you say Al., 1 
 tell you I won't go to Ireland. I shant 
 go to Ireland, 1 shall tijo where I please 
 and do as I like. What do ] care for 
 King Dan and the poor Irish ; Old 
 Nosey says don't go, Bobby says 
 shant go, and 1 say down right blank 
 I won't go. Went to Scotland? 1 
 know I did, and good cause 1 have to 
 remember it, for you was gadding 
 about with the Scottish girls. Only 
 kissed four did you ? How dare you 
 kiss liny you good for nothing son of 
 
 bQ|ne, I am determined to know where j a horse trough. Went all over Eng- 
 you hav« been to until this unreason- ■ ' ■ •. ^ . 
 
 able hour of the night ; and if I find 
 yon h ive been in aay bad company 1 
 will beat you round the hou-e till you 
 holloa cabbage, and order my servants 
 to lock you up all nit;lit in the coal 
 4)ole. Don't talk to me about petti - 
 
 land last summer ? To be sure we did, 
 and have we not got a delight I ul 
 residence in the Isle of Wight ; did 
 we not sjiil around Spithtad and view 
 the Fleet. What did you say, Isle of 
 Wight. I say the Isle of Germany is 
 not a patch on the Isle ot Wight. 
 
 Would you not like to go among th® 
 blooming lasses of Portsmouth and 
 
 ; Gospojf, and f^arenp now and then ? 
 
 I No. I know belter; but I will order 
 tlie policemen to have a sharp look 
 out after you, and if I catch you up 
 
 j to any of your roguery, by all the 
 sausage puddings that over growed in 
 
 j Germany, I will beat you round the 
 Isleof Wight till your head is as black 
 as a Norfolk dumpling. Lovely Vic, 
 did you say ? I say lovely Albert. 
 No, I shant sleep, 1 won't sleep, and 
 you shant sleep. 111 take cj re of that. 
 Will I catch cold sitting up in the bed, 
 what odds is that to you ? No ! the 
 bogs don't bite neither ; there never 
 was such bugs in this country as the 
 German bugs, they can bite well, for 
 they have bit poor old John Bull until 
 he is sore. Hold my tongue ? How 
 dare you endeavour to controul me. 
 No A I., as long as ever I am a woman 
 I will be master ; and as long ss I 
 have a tongue I will bedroom lecture 
 you on your behaviour ; as long as 1 
 have fingers 1 will scratch, and as long 
 as I have a leg to stand upon 1 will be 
 obeyed ; and further Al., I will insist 
 on an act being parsed, that no woman 
 in my dominions shall be kept under 
 by her husband ; put that in your 
 pipe and smoke it.

 4. Vic. agrees to visit Germany 
 
 Why, as for going to Germany Al., 
 I have no great objection, but I must 
 inform you that 1 have little presents 
 to make to your ra_gged relations. 
 Ragged relations. Yes, ragged re- 
 lations, what else can you call them. 
 Why some of them have not as much 
 clothes on their back, as would make 
 a bug a mackintosh. Don't tell me 
 it is false ; why, when I married you 
 it was out of ctiarity. You had nei- 
 ther shoes or stockings on your feet_. 
 and the best article you had was a 
 fifteen-penny hat. Uncle Coburg. 
 What is uncle Coburg to me ? or 
 Uncle Humbug, or Aunt Wittenbug, 
 or Cousin Stolfenbug. 1 tell you 
 they are a ragged lot altogether. 
 Don't tell me about sour crout and 
 German sausages Al., you may put 
 them up if you like. I'm off to Ger- 
 many, but mind Al., I take my own 
 victuals in my pocket, and if I stay 
 there a month, foolish old John Bu'* 
 must pay my expences. Woe 
 German beasts jump to hear me

 A word of advice I am o-ojng to pen, 
 ll's g"Ood for all sorts and conditions of men. 
 
 Derry down. 
 
 Some men when they're married are spending- iheir Hi'es 
 In drinking and traraing, and beating their wires. 
 But when that the days ©f their bloom it is past. 
 It only brings sorrow and shame at the last. 
 
 To the public they go then without dread or fear, 
 With a pipe and a pot ofgood ale or strong beer, 
 Tho' the landlord will serve you, and come at your call 
 When you money's all gone, he'll laugh at your downf 
 
 With the money you fake him he> filling his bags. 
 While your own family are clothed in rags, 
 There'd the bes.t roast and boii'd to his table is broiigl 
 While your wife and children eat potatoes and salt. 
 
 There's the landladies' also, liko dolls at a fair, 
 With silk gown and lace cap are stuck in the bar, 
 Is it not a shame such things should be said, 
 While your o\Yn wile lias scarcely a cap to her head. 
 
 Now all the week long while spending your money, 
 They'll caress you with words that are sweeter than hoo* 
 But when for to please them you have spent it all, 
 You'll find that their noncy's as bitter as g-all. 
 
 Strong; ale at the first it was sent for our good. 
 To strengthen our bodies, and nourish our bloo' , 
 13ut drank to excess, why it must be confess'd, 
 It oftentimes makes a man worse than a beast 
 
 rho' others should drink, and spend all that they can, 
 That's no reason why you should act the same plan, 
 Tho' they swear, lie. swagger, and drink till they bort 
 lie advised and think on your own family first. 
 
 Now if you should owe them a shilling or two. 
 You quickly will find them look very blue, 
 But if you have money your reckoning- to pay. 
 It's thank you, kind sir, you're welcome to me. 
 
 So all rakish husbands who are given to roam, 
 I'd havo you think belter for the time to come. 
 
 Look well to yourself, your children, and wife, ^v> 
 ^Tien you may li«\'e happy the rest of your life. '■■''

 J've travelled the country for m uiy a long day. 
 Through England, through Ireland, and Scotland

 And the name that 1 go by is Erin go Bragh. 
 
 As I was walking up White Chapel Street, 
 
 A saucy policeman 1 chanced for to meet, 
 
 He look'd and he star'd and he gave me some javr, 
 
 Says he, when came you over from Erin go Brugh« 
 
 It's I am no Paddy tho' to Ireland I've been, 
 Fath I am no Paddy tho' Ireland I've seen, 
 And if a Paddy faith what's that to you, 
 There is many a hero from Erin go Bragh. 
 
 I know your a Pat by the twist of your hair, 
 But you always turn Scotchman when you comt 
 
 here. 
 You have left your own country for breaking the la«r 
 I am seizing all stragglers from Erin go Bragh. 
 
 With a lump of black thorn that I held at my fist, 
 All round his big body I made it to twist, 
 The blood from his napper I quickly did draw, 
 With a lump of shillelagh from Erin go Bragh. 
 
 The folks they flocked round me like a lot of young 
 
 geese, 
 Saying where's the wild Irishman that's killed our 
 
 police. 
 Where I had got one friend I'm sure he'd got two, 
 But I pla\ed them a tune they call Erin go Bragh« 
 
 There is a little packet sails off to the North, 
 ril pack up my bones and 1*11 shortly be off, 
 Bad luck to ail racketty policeman and a*.

 Her ba e neck was shaded with hei long raven hair. 
 They call her pretty Susan the pride of Kildaic

 1 espied pretty Susan with a young lord so gay, 
 And as I passed by them with my mind full of care , 
 I sighed for pretty Susan the pride of Kildare. 
 
 Once more on the ocean I resolved for to go. 
 
 And was boi;nd to the east with my heart full of woe,

FCOP» 0^< VERSES 
 ON THE WRECK 
 
 OF THE STEAM BOAT "ADELAIDE," 
 
 With the loss of nearly 200 lives. 
 
 OF all the great calamities, 
 
 Yon ever yet did hear, 
 Whether by land or sea, 
 
 For"\»aiiy a bye gone year ; 
 Thc'dismal tale f now assert, 
 
 Doth far exceed them all, 
 If pity dwells within your breast. 
 
 It win cause a tear to fall. 
 
 Good people all, pity them, 
 That was "on board the Adelaide. 
 
 On the 30th day of March, 
 
 A dreadful storm did riso. 
 The wind it blew a hurricane, 
 
 And dismal was the skies. 
 The ceast along, with the wreck was 
 strcw'd. 
 
 And on that fatal night. 
 Nearly 200 met with a watery grave. 
 
 And ncier saw the raoruihg light. 
 
 It was on the thirtieth day of 
 March, 
 Tiom Dublin she set sail. 
 
 js7^-i.-i-jff.s*kr' 
 
 And bound tinto fair London, 
 With a sweet and pleasant gale; 
 
 With passengers on board of her, 
 The vessel was well mann'd. 
 
 And many widows now are left to 
 mourn 
 Without a helping hand. 
 
 And sad to tell, the Adelaide, 
 
 That ninht she met her fate, 
 The sufferings of the poor souls on 
 board. 
 
 Is awful to relate ; 
 To London bound with passengers, 
 
 Each heart with joy did beat, 
 They little thought when on board, 
 
 They would be sunk in the deep 
 
 She gallant through the channel 
 stecr'd, 
 
 -And all on board Nvorc well. 
 Bin. now it does my "bosom pain. 
 
 This sequel for to tell ; 
 
 "Twas on that fa(al night, 
 
 It blew a hurricane. 
 It was a dreadful sight to see, i 
 
 The Vessel on the main. * 
 
 The raging sea ran mountains high, 
 
 T4ie tempest did unite. 
 Poor souls in vain^did shriek in pain. 
 
 Most dreadful was the sight. 
 On Xhe North Forelind the^wreck 
 took place. 
 
 The passengers it is said, 
 Withpiercingshrieksthcydidiraplor^ 
 
 Kind Heaven their lives to save. 
 
 To sec the wreck that awful night, , 
 
 \t pntthr»m to a stand. 
 The gallant ship wasj near to shore, 
 
 Upon the fatal sands ; 
 The children round their parents 
 hnn^. 
 
 They tore their hair with frighj. 
 To think they thus should end their 
 days. 
 
 And laud so near in sight. 
 
 They rolled their eyes in wild despair 
 
 Destruction seemed so nigh. 
 And from the seip burst shrieks and 
 cries, 
 
 That almost rent the sky ; 
 The foaming billows roared beneath 
 
 Most awful was the sight. 
 For all expectee instant death. 
 
 All hopes seem'd banish quite. 
 
 You tender hearted Christians 
 
 Extend a helping hand. 
 To the widows and the fatherless 
 
 That^s left upon the land. 
 To aid your fellow creatures 
 
 That arc in deep distress ; 
 For what you give unto the poor. 
 
 The Lord he will you bless.

 BEN Block was avet'ranofnaval renown 
 And renown was his only reward. 
 The boahl had neglected his merits to crown 
 
 For no iufrest had Ben with my Lord ; 
 1^1 yet stnimch as old Benbow, was sturdy 
 old I>en, 
 And he would laugh at the cannon's loud 
 roar, 
 Until death dealing broadsides made ball* to 
 meet men, 
 And the scuppers were streaming with «ore 
 
 Nor could the Lieutenant's poor gtipeinl 
 provoke, 
 His sitauncli mind by their scanty prog ; 
 For his biscuit he'd break, turn a quid, crack 
 a Joke, 
 And drown care in a jorum of grog. 
 Thus for year after year, in a sea-boat of state 
 
 Poor Ben for his King fought and bled, 
 Until time had unthatch'd all the roof of his 
 pate, 
 And the hair from his temples had fled. 
 
 Ben humbly saluted a fribblish old Peer, 
 
 A first Lord of the Adm'ralty once ; 
 Cried his Lordship, *' why Ben,you have lost 
 all your hair, 
 *• Sincelpeep'd thelast time atyoursconce." 
 '• Why my Lord," replied Ben, '* if the truth 
 may be said, 
 '* Since a bald pate so long l*ve walk'd 
 under, 
 ** There have so many Captains walk'd over 
 my head, 
 • Had you seen me quite scalpt, 'twere »o 
 wonder."

 THE MARINER'S 
 COMPASS.

 For friendsliip he's ever agog ; 
 Loves his kiug, loves his wench, and 
 loves lighting, 
 And he loves — to be sure be loves 
 ^ ?»og. 
 
 oays Sara, says he, life's all a notion. 
 And wants from the spirit a jog. 
 The world's a wide troubled ocean. 
 And our rudder and compass \% 
 grog. 
 For izroe is our larboard and star, 
 board, 
 OuroaainmastyOurmizen.ourlog ; 
 At sea, or on shore» or when har- 
 boured, 
 The mariner's compass is grog. 
 For grog is our, &c. 
 
 Let but grog take its charge of the 
 helm, 
 We perceive not the dangers at 
 sea; 
 
 An English vessel heaves in view, 
 lie asks, but she no letter brings, 
 
 From bonoyKate he loved sotrue, 
 Then sighs he for his native dell ; 
 
 Yet to hope he cilngs, 
 
 Whil« the steersman sings, 
 Steady she goes! all's well. 
 
 The storm is past, the battle's o'er, 
 Nature and man repose in peace, 
 
 Then hsmeward bound, on £ng* 
 land's shore, 
 The hopes of joys that ne'er will 
 cease : 
 
 His Kate'o sweet voice those j ys 
 foretell, 
 
 And his big heart spriags, 
 While the steersman sings, 
 
 Steady she goes! all's well.

 P'rom Meg-, and Doll, and Kitty,

 Not one has the least pity, 
 
 For a poor shipwrcck'd Tar. 
 
 SI.e, whom he thoiijjht love's needle 
 
 Now his sad misVy mocks, 
 And wants to get the beadle. 
 
 To set 'liin in t,h*> stocks ! 
 Cry'd Jack, this is hard d#aling ; 
 
 The elempiits of war. 
 Sure they had a kinder feeling—. 
 
 They spjir'd a shipwrpck'd I'ar, 
 
 But all their taunts and fetchev, 
 
 A judgment are to me, 
 I, for Ihnse harden'd wretches, 
 
 Dear Nancy , slighted thee , 
 ut see, poor Tray assails me, 
 
 His mistress is not far; • 
 He wags his tail, and hails nie, 
 
 Tho' a p'Jor shipwreck'd Tar. 
 
 T was faithful love that brou^htbin

Or if billows the Tesse! o'erwheloi) 
 
 Still grog is the pilot for me. 
 Since gro^ sares the trouble of 
 thinkiog. 
 Then here's to each bold jollj 
 dog; 
 Forhe that delights in good drinking 
 Will toss off his full can of grog. 
 For grog is our, &c, 
 
 Sam Spritsail, though grog he Jov'd 
 dearly* 
 And it's praise be enraptured 
 would sing, 
 Yet he fought for his country most 
 cheerly, 
 LoTed his'sweetheart, and honour- 
 ed his king. 
 For Sam's heait was spliced to bis 
 Nancy's, 
 And his mind on the wenQh quite

 Yet sailors hare comical fancies. 
 And dear as his life he loves grog, 
 For grog is our, &c. 
 
 STAND TO YOUR

 Stand to your guns^ ny hearts of

 Conquer, boys ! or bravely die ! 
 Hurl destruction on your foes : 
 She sinks ! she siuks ! huzxa, 
 To the bottom down she goes. 
 
 STEADY SHE GOES. 
 
 The British tar no peril knows, 
 But fearless brafes the angry 
 deep. 
 
 The ship's his cradle of repose. 
 And sweetly rocks him to his 
 sleep : 
 
 He, thought the raging surges swell, 
 In his hammock swings, 
 When the steersman sings, 
 
 Steady she goes 5 all's well.

 Bowlisg, 
 The darling of our crew ; 
 Nomore he'il hear the tempest howl-

 For death has brought him too. 
 
 His form was of the manliest beaaty, 
 His heart was kind and soft. 
 
 Faithful below be did his duty, 
 And now be is gone aloft. 
 
 Tom never from his word departed. 
 
 His virtues were so rare, 
 His friends were many and true 
 hearted. 
 
 His Poll was kind and fair ! 
 And then he'd sing so biythe & jolly. 
 
 Ah I many's the time and oft ! 
 But mirth is turn'd to melancholy, 
 
 For Tom is gone aloft. 
 
 Yet shall poor Tom find pleasaDt

 When He who all commands, 
 Shall give, (to call life's crew to-

 In vain Turn's life has doff'd, 
 For tho' his body's under hatches, 
 His soul is gone aloft. 
 
 THE SHIPWRECK TAR. 
 
 Escap'd with life in tatters, 
 
 Behold me safe on shore. 
 Such trifles little matters, 
 
 I'll soon get togs galore; 
 For Poll swore, when we parted. 
 
 No chance her faith should jar, 
 And Poll's too tenderhearted, 
 
 To slight a shipwreck'd Tar, 
 
 To Poll, his course straight steeriag. 
 Jack hastens on apace; 
 
 A lesson for mankind ; 
 'Tis one,' cry'd she, ♦! taught him, 
 
 For, on my constant mind. 
 Thy image dear was graven, 
 
 And now remov'd each bar, 
 My arms shall be the haven,

BOLD BRENNAN 
 
 IT'S of a fearless highwaymau a story 1 wiii tell, 
 His name was WiUie Brennoii in Ireland he did dwell, 
 And on the Livart mountaine b« commenced his Avild career, 
 "VMiere many a wealthy gentleman before him shook with fear. 
 Bold and unda\mted stood bold Brennan on the moor. 
 
 A brace of loaded pistols, 'he carried night and day, 
 He never robb'd a poor man upon the King's highway ; 
 But when he'd taken from the rich like Turpin and Black Bess, 
 But he always did divide it with the widow in distress. 
 
 One night he robb'd a packman, his nanie was Pedlar Brown, 
 They travell'd on together till the day began to dawn ; 
 The pedlar seeing hia money gone, likewise his watch and 
 
 chain, 
 He at once encountered Brennan and robb'd him back again. 
 
 When Brennan seeing the pedlar was as good a man as he, 
 He took him on the highway his companion for to be, 
 The pedlar threw away his pack without any more delay, 
 An^Droved a faithful comrade until his dying day. 
 
 One cray upon the highway, as Willie he sat down, 
 He met the Mayor of Cashel, a mile outside the town ; 
 The mayor he knew his features, I think, young man, said he, 
 Your name is Willie Brennan, you must come along with me. 
 
 As Brennan's wife had gone to town, provisions for to buy, 
 \^'hen she saw her Willie, she began to weep and cry. 
 He says, ' Give me that tenpence ? * as soon as Willie epoke, 
 She handed him the blunderbuss from underneath her cloak. 
 
 Then with his loaded blunderbuss, the truth I will unfold, 
 He made the mayor to tremble and robb'd h im of his gold. 
 One hundred pounds was offered for his apprehension there, 
 And with hia horse and saddle to the mountains did repair. 
 
 Then Brennan being an outlaw, upon the mountains high, * 
 \^'^e^e cavalry and infantry to take him they did try ; 
 He laaighed at them with scorn, until at length, 'tis said, 
 By a false-hearted young man he waa basely betrayed. 
 
 In the county of Tipperary in a place they call Olonmore, 
 Willie Btennan and his comrade they did suffer sore ; 
 He lay among the fern which was thick upon the field, 
 And nioe wounds ke did receive, before that he did yield. 
 
 Then Brennan and his companion knowing they were betray'd 
 He with the nnounted cavalry a noble battle made ; ^ 
 
 He lost his foremost finger, which was ehot off by a baU^ 
 So Brennan and his comrade they were taken after all. 
 
 Sq they were taken prisoners, in irons they were bound, 
 And conveyed to Clonmel jail, strong v?all8 didjthem surround 
 They were tried and foun4 guilty, the judge m?de this reply, 
 * For robbing on the King's highway, you are both condemned 
 to die. 
 
 Farewell ! unto my wife, and to my children three. 
 Likewise my aged father, he may shed tears for me ; 
 And to my loving mother, who tore her gray locks, and cried, 
 Saying, ' I wish Willie Brennan, in your cradle you had died.'

 ON the second of August, eighteen 
 hundred and one. 
 We sail'd with Lord Nelson to the port 
 
 of Boulogne j 
 For to cut out their shipping which was 
 
 all in vain. 
 But to our misfortune they were atl 
 moar'd and ehain'd. 
 
 Our boats being Mrell manrnd at eleven 
 
 at night. 
 For to cut out their shipping excepting 
 
 they fight ; 
 But the grapes from their batteries so 
 
 smartly did play. 
 Nine hundred brave seamen kill'd and 
 
 wounded there lay. 
 
 We hoisted our colours and boldly thena 
 
 spread. 
 With a British flag flying at our royal

 For the hotiour of Old England we will

 While bold British seamen ploughs the

 Expos'd to the fire of the enemy we lay^ 
 While ninety bright §)ieces of canixii

 Where many a bright a mmsn there lay 
 
 in his gore. 
 And then shot from th J tacteries so 
 
 smartly did pour 
 
 Our noble commander viUn heart full 
 
 of grief, 
 Used every effort to afford us relief; 
 No ship could assist us, as well yon

 In this wounded condition we were

 Heod the words that I to you now say. 
 Married womt'n be true to your htishatid^. 
 
 If happy vou'd pass through your lives, 
 And husbands adopt the saino good plan. 
 
 Be constant and true to your wires. 
 Thfn listen to me ' 
 If you would live happy together, 
 
 As you steer through the troubles of life, 
 Depend that this worlds great treasure. 
 
 Is a kind and a good tempered wifv. 
 
 From the time of this worlds first formation, 
 
 You will find that it has bein tlie plan, 
 In every country ajid nation, 
 
 That woman was formed to please man ; 
 And man for to love and protect them, 
 
 And shield them from the fiowns of the Wdrld, 
 Through the smooth paths of life to direct them, 
 
 He who would do less is a churl. 
 Then listen to me ! 
 
 If you would live happy together, Sec. 
 
 Some men will illuse a good woman, 
 
 And say all they do turns out wrong. 
 But as I mean to offend no one, 
 
 You'll find faults to both sides belong ; 
 But if bcth were to look at the bright side, 
 
 And each others mind cease to pain, 
 They will find they have looked at the right aide, 
 
 For all would be summer again. 
 Then listen to me ! 
 
 If you would live happy together, &e. 
 
 Married women don't gossip or tattle, 
 
 Rettieraber it oft etirs up strife. 
 But attend to yonr childrens soft prattle, 
 
 And the duties of mother and wife ; 
 And men if you need recreation. 
 
 With selfish companioni don't roam, 
 Who might lead you to sad degradation. 
 
 But think of your comforts at home. 
 Then listen to me ! 
 
 If you would live happy together, tc. 
 
 Vow a word I must give to the single. 
 
 Before I make end of my song, 
 If in matrimony you'd mingle, 
 
 Believe me Pll not lead yov wrong ; 
 Young man if you wish for a good wife. 
 
 By finery never be led. 
 And girls if you wish for a smooth life* 
 
 Seek Uie man who will work for his bread. 
 Then littea to me !

 ONE Friday morn, e'er t!ie moon was gone, 
 
 *iis Irue vrhai I'm rrlatmiif, 
 1 stood a»i;tz'il, at I lie ruriiiu-* l)Iaze, 
 
 'I'liKugli lllpy were fast Dbhtiiig; 
 ^n<\ tht-re, most clear, I tlieu did hear, 
 
 A solemn voice to call, 
 Wiiich began an oration, or conversation. 
 
 UelHeei) tUe Abbfv ai.d Westminsier Hall. 
 
 CmtJNT. 
 Said llie Ilaf', tht* niglit, I've had such a fright 
 
 "i he like no man ever knew, ' 
 
 I've had su( h a roMStin:;-, hroi intr, and toasting | 
 
 li has put nie fjuite in a stew. 
 'M.o' the rabble did call, in respect for the Hall 
 
 Ijiit lo you I 11 tell tlie trutli, 
 'ilio' njy sides ihty did save, from the furious 
 blaze, 
 
 It has stoich'd my ancient roof. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 0« the Friday mom, when the fire was gone i 
 
 'That had ravaged St. Stephens' Wall, 
 I heard this oration, or conversation, 
 
 Between the Abbey & Westminster Hall 
 
 Says the Abbey, my friend, I thought you^as 
 at an end. 
 
 For 1 heard L-d A p bawl, 
 
 Come Jend »n hand, the Commons be d— d, 
 
 But s;ive, O save the Hall ! 
 And there was Middlesex Joe, who not long 
 
 For a New House did move, I'm told, 
 Was in a rare pet, and a devilish sweiu, 
 In trying to save the old. 
 
 There was Munsfer Fitz carnce, had a very 
 near thance, 
 
 I'd have given his life for ayarrfo/i. 
 He swore n;ost stout, that the fire to I'oit, 
 
 It would lake all llie River Jordan. 
 But I'm still in a quanJary, for they say 'twas 
 an Incendiary, 
 
 That made m« so precious hot. 
 What'i more, I hear, th il S\a ing is here. 
 
 And 1 fchall soon go to pot. 
 
 Oh ! no, says the Abbey, he'll not be so shabby 
 A» to burn either me or you. 
 
 For in ricks or barns and country f^irms. 
 
 He finds" ]>lertty of woiK to do 
 But this I hear, though Saving's not here, 
 
 '('here's a «Ban of greater ieno>\n; 
 Fam'd Guy Faux c)f old, has rose again, we 
 are told, 
 
 And the other tJay canne inlo town. 
 
 Savs the Hall, I eah*t see, between you & me, 
 
 How (his fire it fi^rst occurred. 
 In the Ccnimons soiie say, the M* mbsrs ihat 
 day. 
 Set fire to' the House with hot words. 
 Yet by some it is said, the last speech that 
 was ma'le. 
 Was so warm in that cause we admire ; 
 •So the Broom we must blame, for he kindled 
 the flame, 
 For his words set the hou^e all on fire. 
 
 Says the Abbey, oh, dear! ^such things I did 
 hear, 
 
 I am sure 'twas a shame and disgrace. 
 For the rabble's vile cries, at each flame thai 
 did rise. 
 
 Made me blush, for I was red in the face. 
 One said, I declare, the Reform s in the air, 
 
 And the Temperance Bill is tip-raisd, 
 Hume's motion is won, by a majtrity of fr««^ 
 
 And the Poor- Law is all in a blaze. 
 
 But, my friend, we can boastf we have hng 
 stood oyrj)ost, 
 Though the times are much altered, alas ! 
 When we were budt, I've heard say, men had 
 a penny a day. 
 And no luw of oppression could pass. 
 PoorSt. Stephens' is gone, its walls areforhnrn 
 IJm/, my ftiend, J now see day is dawning, 
 It looks like a curse, but I'm glad iVs ««

 I loved sich a charming young maid,

 He lock'd her sometimes in the cell, 
 
 With a precious stout padlock and key. 
 When she on vun cold night, poor girl^ 
 
 Squinted up through a crevice on me. 
 
 In this manner from her I was barrVl, 
 
 'Cos he said 1 should ruin the mai,f; 
 I vos told, which vos rather too hard, 
 
 This ere maid them ere same words had said. 
 So vun night with rage hot as Are,

 So I'll certainly take vun with me

 By vun to his crib vos conveyed, 
 I bawi'd 'liar ! liar V and arouseed the old toad. 
 
 And shortly knock'd down this fair maid. 
 Oh, he and two chums, with a light. 
 
 With their shovels ihey pitched on to me 
 Which turned to a regular fight, 
 
 And I jolly well millM 'em all three.

 1 am a poor old soldier devoid of scars, 
 1 have fought at home and I've been in 
 
 the wai's ; 
 1 have learnt all nations capital rides, 
 IVow they've stuck me up as a gaze for 
 
 fools 
 
 CHORUS. 
 I am General Nosey, gallant and cosey. 
 Knocked about from pillar ta post. 
 
 I am made of metal you all well know, 
 Stuck up in the air to frighten the crows, 
 1 am a jolly old Duke without a hunch, 
 Bad luck to that little rascal Punch. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 He has caused a row at the sign of the 
 
 Crown. 
 And the Queen declares I shall come down. 
 
 I was brought to my destination in pain, 
 By a lot of fellows »vho smelt of grains ; 
 And placed a loft so fine and clever. 
 In wind and rain, and frosty weather. 
 
 I have been in Spain and Portugal too, 
 All over the world and Waterloo ; 
 When they take me down I will let them 
 
 see 
 If I don't wop them may the d—l wop me, 
 
 Powder and pipeclay, bullets and guns. 
 Shall tl>e scum of the earth at me make fun? 
 To shove me about, oh ! England shame, 
 From Hyde Park Corner to Rosemary 
 Lane. 
 
 If there I go J will quickly pilch, 
 M y enemies into the Tower ditch ; 
 And if you don't keep me my friend Bob, 
 By the tip of my nose I will muzzle your 
 nob. 
 
 1 heard young Vic. and her husband talk, 
 As they were going up Birdcage Walk ; 
 
 For I can hear a terrible way. 
 And he must come down the Queen did 
 say. 
 
 By my Waterloo nose had them I got nigh, 
 1 would have shoved a broomstick bang 
 
 in their eye ; 
 They railed at me as they did stand. 
 And Albert called me a funny old man.- 
 
 As through the Park they rode one day, 
 Vic said to me get out of the vray ; 
 Soldiers breeches, I was so savage, 
 1 could have knocked her down with a

 An old soldier is like a worn out horse, 
 From pillar to post they will him toss ; 
 Lie down and die he surely may, 
 If he can*t live on a tanner a day. 
 
 I know as the folks pass by they grunt, 
 Bad luck to that little rascal Punch ; 
 He could'nt be quiet you plainly see. 
 But trouble his ugly head with me. 
 
 You gents and ladies who know me, 
 Quite welcome to take my place you be j 
 And day and night, all vveathers complete 
 And you will be tired in less than a week^ 
 
 I must come down as may be seen, 
 Yes, must come down so says the Queeo ; 
 They are going to put me somewhere else. 
 So let Al. and the Queen go up tbemseives 
 
 I was made by Wyatt the people say. 
 And placed up here one fatal day ; 
 Where long 1 have suffered you may 
 
 suppose. 
 And the wind blew of the tip of my no«e^ 
 
 Take me down Queen Vic, alack ! 
 And place me on Prince Albert's back ; 
 If he carries me safe to Windsor Town, 
 I will make him a present of a ^haif a 
 crown.

 H. Disley, Printer, 57, High Street, St. Giles 
 ondon. — W<C. 
 
 You lads and lasses blythe and gay, 
 
 Listen awhile to what I say. 
 
 If you'll attend 1^11 not be long, 
 
 It's about the rigs and sprees of this town. 
 
 You may kiss the girls if you're inclined. 
 But mind and don't rumble their crinoline. 
 Young lads and lasses of renown. 
 These are the rigs and sprees of this town 
 
 Now in this town on a market day. 
 There is lots of farmers blythe and gay ; 
 Tlieir wives and daughters cut a shine. 
 With their ninepenny bustles and crinoline. 
 
 Old Jack, the cobler, mind your eye. 
 Don't court that young girl on the sly. 
 If you roll her on the grass so green. 
 You'll be sure to spoil her crinoline. 
 
 There's earotty Kit, so jolly and fat. 
 With a regular flippaty, floppaty hat. 
 The holes in her stockin<ys as big as a crown. 
 And the hoops of her skirts is dragging the 
 ground. 
 
 St. George's Hall, in this town, 
 It is the place of great renown, 
 Where all th« swells they cut a shine. 
 In their pegtop trousers and crinoline. 
 
 Of the Rifle Corps just mind your eye, 
 They're sure to^ t shootir^g*^i girls ou u.. -*;- 
 But they may do as they've done before, 
 They may kiss the girls behind the door. 
 
 1 n High-street every night you'll see, 
 Recruiting parties on the spree, 
 With bouncing Sal and pretty Jane, 
 Playing the tune eaUed Do it again. 
 
 The old and young you plainly see 
 To buy my songs they will agree. 
 It's about the swells and ladies fine, 
 With their pegtop trousers and crinoline. 
 
 So now to finish my tunny song-, 
 
 What we have said there's nothing wrong, 
 
 It's all about the ups and downs, 
 
 And the funny rigs and sprees of tbis tovrn,

 A 
 
 S I roved out on a fine summers morning, 
 Down by a clear river I walked ail alone, 
 I heard a poor man niuking sad lamtntaiioo. 
 And thus he began to make his sad moan, 
 
 CHORUS. 
 Crying ochone, that ever 1 niarrierl, 
 W hich leaves me in sorrow, alas, to bemoan ? 
 Weeping and wailing and rockine;^ a cradle, 
 And nursing a chiM that is none of your own. 
 
 I listrn'd awhile to his sad lamentation, 
 Perhaps ihat the story il rai^ht be my own, 
 i>o fondly he huggd and dandled the baby, 
 Your mammy ha« left me, ma croc es ma vrone 
 
 It's every day she walks with her bully. 
 And leave me the cradle to rock all alone, 
 This innocent baby he calls me his daddy. 
 It's liltle he knows that he's none of my own. 
 
 My wife she comes in in the heel of the ev'ning. 
 She calls co me smartly the kettle to put (iown, 
 She sits to her tab'e and to her tea-dnnking. 
 She cries, you old cuckold, come rock tiie child 
 sound. 
 
 As soon as she opens I.er eyes in the morning, 
 She says, yon o!dra cal come bring me a draw. 
 To kindle the fire and get her the breakfriSt, 
 I must nurse the baby- unti) she is done. 
 
 When first I met with your inconstant mother; 
 1 thought myself happy and blest with a wife 
 Now to my sorrow, sadgri.f and vexation, 
 She Las prov»d a torture and plague of my life. 
 
 Now for to finish my sad lamentation, 
 All you that is single pray ne'er take a wife; 
 For if that you do thev «iU surely torment you, 
 And prove a sad ruin all the days of your life. 
 
 CHORUS 
 Crying, ochone that ever i married, 
 Which leaves me in sorrow, silas, to bemoan ? 
 Hiisba, baby, it's close and be aisy, 
 I'm sure \our own father s\ ill never b» known.

 Free as the winds me love to roam, 
 Far thro' the prairie, far.thro' the forest,"^ 
 
 Over the mountains we'll find a home ; 
 We cannot breatlie in crowded cities, 
 
 W e^re stranjfers to the ways of trade, 
 VVe long to feel the grass beneath us. 
 And ply the hatchet and the spade. 
 
 Rouse, brothers, rouse f &c. 
 
 Meadows and hills and ancient woodlands. 
 
 Offer us p^isture, fruit and corn, 
 Needing our presence, courting our labour, 
 
 Why should we linger like men forlorn. 
 We love to hear the ringing rifle. 
 
 The smiting axe, tho fallen -tree ; 
 And though our life be rough and lonely, 
 
 If it be honest— what care we ? 
 
 Rouse, brothers, &c* 
 
 Fair elbow-room for men to thrive in, 
 
 wide elbow-room for work or play, 
 If cities follow tracking our footsteps. 
 
 Ever to westward shall point our way. 
 Rude ih«ugh our life, it suits our spirit, 
 
 And new-born states in future years. 
 Shall owB us founders of a nation. 
 
 And bless the hardy pioneers.

OUTWARD 
 
 AND 
 
 HOMEWARD BOUND. 
 
 To the Liverpool Docks we'll bid adieu. 
 To lovely Kate and smiling Sue, 
 Our anchor's weigh'd our sails unfurl'd, 
 We are bound to cross the watery world. 
 Huzza we are outward bound. 
 
 O the winds right abaft and it does increase, 
 Our ship she scuds nine knotts at least, 
 Our Skipper will our wants supply. 
 And whilst we have grog boys, never say die. 
 Huzza we are outward bound. 
 
 When we arrive at China or Bombay, 
 Then my lads we'll have a spree, 
 But we'll not forget the Liverpool girls. 
 For we will buy them fine silk shawls. 
 
 For them we'll be homeward bound. 
 
 And some rich galliote we'll take in tow. 
 Which is to be got there you know. 
 Its then my lads we'll touch the jink. 
 And just like fishes we will drink. 
 
 That's when we are homeward bound. 
 And when return'd to Liverpool Docks, 
 The pretty girls come down in flocks, 
 They will come along-side with a bottle of rum 
 Saying, you're welcome home Jack, Bill & Tom 
 
 I see you're homeward bound. 
 
 And when we arrive at the Blue Bell, 
 There is good liquor for to sell, 
 Then in comes the landlady with a smile. 
 Saying drink my lads, for its worth your while. 
 For 1 see you're homeward bound. 
 
 And when Jack's money is gone and spent. 
 And there is no more to be had or lent, 
 Then in comes the landlord with a frown. 
 Saying rise up Jack, let John sit down. 
 
 For 1 see you are outward bound. 
 
 When to the old Jew Jack next repairs. 
 All for to sell his jacket there. 
 For a suit of IJlue cost him three pounds. 
 He can only get one single crown. 
 
 That's when Jack's outward bound.

 Near the banks of Shannon, in lofty mansion

 Bu^ still 'tis folly belongs to nature. 
 
 She fell in io*e witka seryant man. 
 
 Sweet rtlary Ann with her love was talking, 
 
 Her father heard them, and nearer drew. 
 And as those lovers were fcmdly talking, 
 
 in anger home then her father flew. 
 To build a dungeon was his intention,. 
 
 To part true love— he contrived a plan. 
 He swore an oath that's too vile to mention. 
 
 He'd part that fair one from her servant

 •His coal black hair and rnby lips, my youthful heart decqy'd 
 'Soon I feH in love with him, my bonny labouring boy« 
 
 My mother thought to have me wed unto a Lord or Peer, 
 J bi?iD^ ihe only heirees, of five thousand pounds a year, * 
 I've pSaced my heart in one true love and him I'll not deny, 
 , For I'd range the world over with my bonny labouring boy. 
 
 "Wvi cheeJis are like the roses red, his eyes are black as sloe* 
 He 18 mild in his boiiaviour wherever that he goes — f 
 
 'He's manly, neat and handsome — his skin as white as enow 
 In epite of ray parents malice witJi my labouring boy I'll go 
 
 I courted him for twelve long months, but little did I kuovf 
 3?7 cruel parents ever thought to prove my o»erthrow; 
 !Fhey watch'ci ug close one evening, while SO a shady grove*

 To marry a poor labouring boy, the world far to range ; 
 Some noble lord might fancy you, great riches to enjoy. 
 '.jSo do not thiow yourself away on a poor labouring boy,

 TN tbe good ship Revenge how we've spanked 
 
 thro' the ocean, 
 She's flush to our purpose yoa ne'er saw the like, 
 Balls and bullets whiz by but ne'er cause an emotion 
 Till we're bowle-d down we never will strike, 
 
 Thus sticcess and seaman's cheer 
 
 Giads the jolly buccaneer. 
 
 Fond of change in all weathers and climates we're 
 
 roving, 
 Now a sort of hard tussle and now a soft booze, 
 With the girls and a fiddle sometimes kind and 
 
 loving 
 See dropped off a messmate and step in his shoes, 
 : Still success, &c. 
 
 Well stored now with plunder at nine knots we're 
 
 steering, 
 To where copper fair ones will greet us on shore, 
 There we laugh, quaff and sing, and with curaing 
 
 and swearing. 
 Oar cargoes we see out then to sea boys for more, 
 
 Thus success, &c.

 Fare de well, my own true Iwh, 
 
 Fare de well, my darling ! 
 Oh good bye my Nigger gal.

 I am going ober de mountain. 
 
 I fell in lub wid a Nigger gal, 
 And she thought 1 was a good pal; 
 But I am forced to leave my gal, 
 *Cause I'm going ober de mountain, 
 
 My poor gal began to cry, 
 And wid a cloth she wipe her eye. 
 She told me dat she would die. 
 If 1 went ober de laniintain. 
 
 My poor gal did faint away. 
 Then on the ground she did lay, 
 And I heard all the people say 
 
 Him going ober de mountain. > 
 
 Oh, from de ground my gal did rise, 
 And wid my coat I viped her eyes ; 
 Says 1, lawk my gal, how you cries, 
 'Cause I'm going ober de mountain* 
 
 I kissed my Nigger gal and pressed her haa 
 Her eyes run like a fountain, 
 So good bye all my friends at home, 
 I'm going ober de mountain. 
 
 Now all good people I hah done, 
 ^^ And 1 hope you wiHbuy a song, 
 ^^ For you see 1 want some browns 
 ^^ To help me ober de mountain.

 THE GRAND CONVERSVTION OF 
 
 NAPOLEON. 
 
 It was over that wild-beaten trac euh of bold 
 Bonaparfc, 
 Did pace the" »ands and lofiy recks of st. Helena's 
 shore, 
 The wind it blew i hurricane, the lightning's 
 flash around did dart, 
 The sea gulls were shrieking, and the waves 
 around did roar ; 
 Au ! bush, rude winds, the stranger cried, awhile 
 1 range the dreajy spot, 
 Where last a gallant hero his envied eyes did 
 close, 
 But while his valued limbs do rot, his name will 
 never be forgot. 
 This grand conversation on Napoleon arose. 
 Ah England ! he cried, why did you persecute that 
 hero bold. 
 Much belter had you slain him on the plains of 
 Waterloo; (and old, 
 
 Napoleon he was a friend to heroes all, both young 
 lie cauti'd the money for to fly wherever be did 
 go ; (commander to betray, 
 
 When plains were raging night and day that bold 
 He cried, I'll go to Moscow^ and then 'twill 
 ease my woes. (shall me obey

 in anguish for the same, 
 He cried retreat my gallant men, for time so

 What thousaitds died an that retreat, some forced 
 their horses for to eat,

 At Waterloo his men they fought, commanded by 
 
 great Buonaparte, 
 Attended by field-marshal Ney.and he was^ bribed

 Napoleon's heart, 
 He died my thirty thousaad men are killed"^ 
 and 1 am sold, 
 He viewed the plain and cried it's lost, he then 
 his favourite charger cross'd, 
 The plain was in confusfoo with blood and dying 
 woes, 
 The bunch of roses did advance, and boldly eater

 This gram! conversation of Napoleon arose. 
 Then Bonaparte was planu'rf to be a prisoner

 While shoving into his croup, 
 And all swoie to a man, that as how Mr. Cann, 
 
 Never made such a kettle of soup. 
 The dinner being done, the lushing began. 
 
 Gin went round noilh, east, west and south, 
 No j:la>ses they'd ^ot, so they swiggd from the pot, 
 
 /nd they took it by word of mouth. 
 The hdiiler struck up fur a hop, 
 
 \Vhile seated a-top of the trunk. 
 But not one of the batch could come up to the scratchy 
 
 1 hey were all so infernally drunk I 
 
 At last the lot so lushy had got, 
 
 They neither could stand or go, 
 The wonu'fi did howl, the men did they growl, 
 
 It was just like a wild-bea^l show 
 And .lack couldn't put them to l>ed,' 
 
 'Cause the devil a one had he got. 
 So they roli'd off in pairs down the da.-k cellarstairs ' 
 
 And wallowed all night in the soot. '~ 
 
 Before break of day they (ound out the way. 
 
 To cuddle each other bang up; 
 Neitiier Sal or Nan (ound fault with their man 
 
 But all were well pleased with their shop. 
 But mark me — in nine ruonth"s time. 
 
 Where ih^y hadlicen laid ii; heaps, 
 The women did squall, the Doctor did call, 
 
 Aud foumi a large bundle of sweeps.

 Streeti 7 Dials. 
 
 It ff&s in this town not far from ihis spot, 
 ^ barber once opened a .*.nug little shop, 
 Altho' qii te a stranger, his smiles were so sweet. 
 He Gjuld fairlv entice people out of the street, 
 "WMh his lathe. -em shave-em, 
 Lather-cm shave-em, 
 Lafher-em &e. 
 
 Now he lii.d been in • manv a year, 
 
 He s.havtd all the natives so clean and so clear, 
 And now he's come here to tlirow out some sprats, 
 Not mackarel to ca'ch but gudgeons and flats. 
 
 Wiih his, &c. 
 
 From one evil pracice he swore he would stop, 
 That no one shculd ivor get his ttust in his shop. 
 For with an old r zor full ot notch s and rust, 
 He wonld p dish Ihesr jaws should they ask him 
 for tvust, 
 
 With his, &c. 
 
 It happened an Irishman going that way, 
 \Vhose beard bad been growing for many a day, 
 He iook'd at the barber then throw aown his hod, 
 Here, master, give us a share for the pure love of 
 God. 
 
 With his, &c. 
 
 Oih the divil a penny I've got in my purse, 
 If you'll giv.' us a shave you'll be none the worse 
 Come in, said the barber, sit dowu in a chair, 
 And your long grisly beard I will mow pretty clear. 
 
 With his, &c. 
 
 He then spread (he lather on Paddy's bi^ chin, 
 wiih the old rusty razor at work did begin, 
 Och murder/ cries Paddy, the razor you've got, 
 ll wonlJn't cut buiter if it was msde hot. 
 
 with his, &c. 
 
 Och mujder an nouns poor Paddy did cry, 
 And from the shop door och bow he did bawl, 
 You may lather 5t shave all your friendi till you're 
 
 siek. 
 But bv. Jasus I'd rather be shaved with a btick. 
 /i^^-i with hi8,^&c 
 
 Now It happened one day a donkey did roar, 
 Puddy thought the sound came from the barber's 
 
 shop door, 
 Oc'i ! listui to that vagabond knave. 
 He's now giving somebody a love of God shave. 
 
 wiih i is, &c.

 October the first, a day sure the wort.t, ^ ^'^ 
 
 I straight took my way to the sweet fair of Tria 
 There to se'l a swine it was my design, 
 
 She was fat, fair, and compli te in each limb ; 
 My swine was as mild, as a lamb or a child, 
 
 You might drive her all over the world with a sprig 
 The (ruth for to tell, I sold her right well, 
 Three pound ten was the pricelreceiv'd for my pi^ 
 
 ^ With the cash on my thiyh. & the gla-^s in my f>c, 
 ^^ To the to«n I did fly iil^e'a sjiortrng young Iuk L, 
 
 ^^ 1 met a smart dame sho belonged to the g-ane, 
 ^^ She up to me came to be sure for gt>od luck ; 
 
 &^ She (ipt me the wink we went for to drink, 
 ds^ The jade bewitched me to danc • Veniis's ji^r, 
 
 f^^ And in the wheal round she si pt her haud<lov\'n, 
 ^^ And striptmo quite bare of the price of my pig 
 
 When I miss'd my share like a man in desp ir, ; 
 
 I ran tearing my hair searcldog her up dn d.>wn, 
 Each corner and lane I searc led all in vain, 
 
 Not a sight of this damnable jade to be fouud ; 
 Meet her where I will I su«e wil! hiT kill, 
 
 I swear by the hair of Lord Norbury'd wig. 
 Till the day that I die fvtr \ eng aace I'll cry. 
 On the jade that robbM me of the price of my pig, 
 
 To Navkn n^xt day I straight took my way. 
 As I heard of a fair being field m Slane, 
 
 When 1 caper'd there I was loaded with cure. 
 To think that ray walk it waa labour in vain. 
 
 To the house of John Flinn I next stepped in. 
 Where I danc'd three reels and one double jig. 
 
 In opes by & by I might cast my eye. 
 On the jade that robb'd me of the price of my pig. 
 
 By the Buek, by the Doe, by the Lord of Mayo, 
 
 By the great bog ofAllen^&tbe high hill ofiiowth, 
 By the church, by the bell, & by Paddy Mc.Kell, 
 
 And for to swear more you know I'm loath ; 
 Meet her where I will, 1 snre will her kill, 
 
 I will not her spare for tory or whig, * 
 
 And for this base action I'll have satisfaction; 
 
 Upon the jade's boues for tlie price of ipy pig. 
 
 Now since it is soi straight home I will go, 
 
 My shuttle to throw, and fram drinking refsaio, 
 I will stick to mv loom, while youth is in bloom, 
 
 I will never be caught by a strumpet again. 
 If the Lord Mayor knew the cause of ray woe. 
 
 He would surely come here in a chaise or a gig. 
 He would search l.e'afid round, where the jado 
 could be fgund 
 
 He*d Diit her in puvuid for ttc piice of my pig«

 K BOUT five miles from Town, 
 •"'Lived one Sarah Brown, 
 By Witshing she du* earn l•^^ bread,^ 
 She'd for years done the same. 
 And had got a good name, 
 Tho" she often limis wish'd herself dead. 
 
 Now Sarah vras weak. 
 
 If the truth 1 must speak, 
 And not Tery youi>g }ou must know. 
 
 So a donke. she ^ot. 
 
 And it was the tl'ings lot. 
 The linen to take tuo and fro. 
 
 Now her ncijihhournext door^ 
 
 Ot" fowls kej't a sc re, 
 A, bachelor, on© Ricliard tiockn 
 
 So as It came to pass* 
 
 This old woman's ass, 
 Was Iturt bjf this bulclier's game cock» 
 
 Tliese dumb things fell out, 
 
 Goodness knows wiiat about, 
 The cock hr-xt b« gan tt> show tightf 
 
 At the ass he lei fly. 
 
 Struck her slap in the eye. 
 By wbich tlie poor tbiug loitt its sight* 
 
 On revenge Sal was bent, 
 To the Justice she went. 
 To get ncompense she did try, 
 Jshe |Hish'd through the tbrong, 
 'look her old a>s along,- 
 show t ai it had losi an ey«« 
 
 * Pray tell me how all came to pass V 
 
 W|.y, xer hon'Mir, 'tis true, 
 
 V^ hat I'm tellinff t" you. 
 His cock has much injured my ass I 
 
 At the light « f the morn 
 
 'Tis true as you'rv born 
 Whenever sh'" jrues out to grass^ 
 
 Exact as the clock 
 
 His great big gKmecock, 
 Is sure for to fly at my ass 
 
 Should you doubt what [ say» 
 
 I've l)rought it to-<la\, 
 And h ;ve ^<«t the poor thing close behind 
 
 If this ^»\ you will pass* 
 
 ril show you my ass 
 And you'll see that its nearly ttone blind. 
 
 Then he quitted hix chair, 
 
 And went. 1 decl. re, 
 For tie beak was a worthy old bloke. 
 
 To his eye placi d his glass* 
 
 Took a sqiini at h r ass, 
 And pronounced it a mucii injured moke. 
 
 Said his worship. Odd lounda I 
 
 'Twill cost him some pounds. 
 What have \ou 'o say, Richard Lock ? 
 
 For 1 find litre, alas ! 
 
 How this «:ood wonmn's ass, 
 Has been grossly ill-used by your cock* 
 
 Then Kichard began. 
 
 Says sir, I'm a poor man. 
 And 1 hope as how you'll not be bard. 
 
 For I il.ink tbc old dame, 
 
 Must be satly to blame, 
 To let lier moke grass near my yard. 
 
 It is envy and spite, 
 
 And 1 don't thmk it right. 
 And so said her neighbour, Bet Jones, 
 
 To intrude on my land. 
 
 With her donkey in hand, 
 Sarve her right if I'd broken its bones. 
 
 Says the Justice of peace^ 
 
 Wi'y this alters the case. 
 The mi.tter 1 see very clear. 
 
 Says she, it is wrong —

 You'd no business to take your ass there.

 To give to Harry. Dick, or Sam.

 Always pick out a nice young man.

 ^'Whilst mother does to market pop, 
 'What browns I t.ake, I make all right, 
 -And hooks it to the play at night.

 I always knows what I'm about, 
 To nick a penny I'll contrive, 
 il bring four shilling tea for five. 
 
 Ri-fum, &c. 
 
 Each m.orning I make it a rule. 
 To have a brown to go to school. 
 And if my mother dant tip up, 
 Unto the fiebis away I cut, 
 I sport away there all the day,

 In learning I improve quite fast. 
 At school I am in the first clas3^ 
 I learns to write, and read, ar.d spell,

 At needle work I'm quite expert,

 Kind gentlefolks, I hope that vou, 
 Will give me all the praise tlia'ts due, 
 Mark my behaviour and my face, 
 And get for me a tidy place. 
 Just take me for a month and try, 
 You'll see what a handy gal am I, 
 I'll make the beds, and clean and scrub. 
 Fur a bob a week and all my grub.

 But I'll conclude and end my song, 
 I.p.st I detain your time too long, 
 I trust my faults you will excuse, 
 And one small favour dont refuse,

 You all have had the faults of youth. 
 Forgive me Kiine, and then you shall, 
 Ueceive the thanks of the "Charity Gal." 
 Ki-fum, ti-fum, fun and glee. 
 You'll seldom see a gal like me, 
 The folks all call me charming Sal, 
 The pretty little charity gal. 
 
 BIDDY, THE BASKET WOMAN. 
 
 If ever you go to London town. 
 
 Just take a peep at Common Garden, 
 Market I mean, — ^^there I'll be bound. 
 
 You'll get your value to a farthing, 
 Of fruits and flowers, whate'er you wish, 
 
 You'll find it there 1 tell you true, man, 
 Whatever you choose, a dainty diish, 
 
 Brought home by Biddy, the Basket 
 Woman. 
 
 CHORDS. 
 
 Search ould Ireland through and through, 
 England, Wales, and Scotland too man, 
 
 The devil a one among the crew, 
 Can equal Biddy the Basket Woman, 
 
 Wasn't I in Waterloo, 
 
 With a good canteen of whiskey too, man 
 Few men did better their duty do. 
 
 Than Irish Biddy the Basket 'Woman ! 
 
 When Mister Boney loss the sway. 
 
 Every man desarv'd his merits, 
 And I'm sure the glories of the day. 
 Gave proof uo-eoldier wanted spirits. 
 
 Search, &c. 
 With the ministers I'm hand in glove- 
 To speak the truth there's no one bolder 
 The reason I will tell you plain, 
 
 Pat Murphy's a ten pound freeholder, 
 O Connell he takes me by the fist. 
 
 And winks his eyes as a sort of hint- 
 He knows I come from Ireland— whist 
 And I understands collecting rint. 
 
 ■Search, 8ic. 
 At Balsham's I hold my levee. 
 
 Where my colleagues I'm always treating 
 Chaunt-seller Kirty drops in to tea, 
 
 And the pot boy's my first lord in waiting 
 Tim Murphy's mastrr of the Rolls, 
 
 I'™ speaker among the petticoats there, 
 We've councils, elections, hustings, polls. 
 But Lushington gets all our votes there. 
 Search, &:c 
 My husband, Pat, has the sarvice seen. 
 
 At Laming's ladder all his trust is, 
 A common sergeant he has been, 
 
 Bnt he thinks he'd make a good Chief 
 Justice. 
 The Ordnance Board, sure as a gun, 
 Would shoot him— that's his proper 
 quarter — 
 At cannon laws he's seon the fan, 
 But it's odd he understands the mortar. 
 Search, See. 
 My handsome face prefarment claims, 
 
 And then our queen's a judge of beauty; 
 Besides that, she always says. 
 
 To honour those who do their duty. 
 Perhaps in the Commons house I'll sit, 
 
 As a lady rules it is but fair. 
 For sucli a place I know I'm fit. 
 For there's plenty of ould ladies there. 
 
 Search, &c. 
 And Joey you may fret and fume. 
 
 About that which nobody axes 
 Kilkenny folks they'll find out soon. 
 
 The total amount of tithes and takes. 
 Sir Andrew Agnew— he may prate. 
 
 And say no work's to be done on sunday 
 The clargy they'll find that a trate 
 
 For they'll have no meat to eat on Mon- 
 day. Search, &c 
 Hasn't Melbourne got the knack, 
 Of coaxing P Doesn't he wish the Queen 
 would marry, 
 But like an ould Broom, he'll get the sack. 
 
 For somebody else she means to tarry, 
 Then Premier, they will make for me, 
 
 As changing places all the trad« is — 
 Then here's 'The Queen!' with three time«

 ' The Duchess of Kent, and the rest of the

 On a happy bridal morn, 
 But It mournfully to the fun'ral steals, 
 
 Ere the fading day is gone ; 
 Impanivil he makes his sumraous ring, 
 
 Unlike th*» courtier's plan. 
 For he'll wail no louder the death of a Kmg, 
 
 Than he woidd of a poor old man ; — 
 Tolling on. with solemn knell, 
 
 A inournful sonnd has the Old Church BeU.

 \J PON a fair morning for soft recreation 
 I beard a fair lady was making: her moan, 
 AVilh sighing and sobbing- and sud inmentation* 
 Saying' my hlackbiid most royal is flown. 
 My thought* they deceive me, 
 Tleflectiuiis do j^rieve nie. 
 And I am o*or burthened with sad misery. 
 Yet if death should bhiid me, 
 As true love inclines me. 
 My blackbird I'll seek out wherever he he. 
 Once in fair England my blackbird did flourish, 
 
 He was the chief blackbird (hat in it did spring, 
 Prime ladies uf Honour his person did nourish, 
 I Because he was the true son of a king. 
 ' Bu* since that false lurtune 
 
 Wijich itill is uncurtain. 
 Has caused this parting b 4ween him and me> 
 His name I'll advar.ca,

 And lUseek out my blackbird wherever he be, 
 
 Tlie birds of t!ie forest all met tog-etlier. 
 
 The turtle has chosen to dwell with the dove. 
 And I am resolved, in foul or fair weather. 
 Once in the spring to seek out my true lovo. 
 
 He*3 all my heart's treasure. 
 
 My joy, love, and pleasure, 
 And (justly my love) my heart follows thee^ 
 
 Who art constant and kind. 
 
 And courageous of n»ind, 
 All bliss to my blackbird wherever he be. 
 
 In England my blackbird and I were together. 
 
 Where he was still noble and generous of heart, 
 Ah, woe lo the time that he first went thither, 
 Alas, he was forced from thence to depart. 
 
 la Scotland he's deemed, 
 
 And highly esteemed, 
 In England he seemeth a stranger to be ^ 
 
 Yet his fame shall remain. 
 
 In France and in Spain, 
 aU bliss to my blackbird wherever he be. 
 
 What if the fowlpr my blackbird has taken,"^ _^. 
 
 ^ Then sighing and sobbing will be all my tane> 
 
 But if he is safe 1 will not be mistaken. >gi 
 
 And hope yet to see him in May or in Janet 
 
 For him through the fire, ^ " ., 
 
 Through mud and through mire, ^ 
 
 I will go for I love him to such a degreei 
 
 Who is constant and kind, -.^^ 
 
 And noble in mind, n 
 Deserving all blessings wherever be be« 
 
 1 lis not the ocean can fright me with danger,

 Itoay meet with friendship of one that's a stranger 
 Much more than of one that in Britian is born.

 At a bower drew near, 
 A lady to serenade 
 
 To tender e>t words he swept the chords. 
 While many a sigh br, athed lie, 
 Aud o'er and o'er he fondly swore, 
 Sweet maid 1 love but thee 
 Sweet maid, swe^t maid, I Iotc but thee. 
 He raised h:s ey* s 
 To the lattice hioh. 
 
 While he foadly breathed his liope», 
 With amnzement he sees 
 Swing abaut by t'ie br eze, 
 
 Already a ladder of rope^j. 
 Up, up, he is gone, 
 The bird is fl >wo,

 Quite scorned th^ idea, 
 Of putting himself i;j a ragd. 
 More w se by far.

CAPTAIN COULSTON'8 VOYAGE TO AMEKIOA. 
 
 You inhabitanta of Ireland, ye hero's stouf, & brave, 
 Tliat do intetiil to cross the seas, your country for to 
 
 leave, 
 CitiTiejoin with Captain Ooulsion that herostout & UAd 
 WIjo lougiit liis way upuD the sea and never w^s con- 
 trolled. 
 
 From the 1 Ith to the 20th we sail'd upon ihe sea, 
 Ten long dayrf in pleasure, bound for America, 
 The captain & his lady both Ciime on deck each day. 
 Aii for lo crown our niernment while sailing on the sea 
 
 The weather was as cliarming as e\r you saw hefbr>. 
 For six days of pleasure we ne'er thought f)n«shore. 
 \\ e saird away from Liverpool tlie weather il was fine 
 All bound Tor Philedelphia, it was our whole design. 
 
 The number of our passengers were 3i>JJ, 
 Tiiey were all teetotalers exc pting one or two, 
 We pushed along the lemon juice, to nourish us on 
 
 the sea, 
 And Father Muthew's medals we brought to America 
 
 When our merriment was over going to bed thatnight 
 The captain went round the ship to see if all was right 
 He says, * brave boys, do oat go down, you need not 
 
 tbinli of sleep, 
 F«r in a few hours more we'll be slumbering ia the 
 
 deep !* u> 
 
 Then out spoke Captain Conlston to his jovial crew 
 \Vq must fight until we die we've nothing else to do. 
 Our enemy is approaching down from the western sea 
 To rob U3 of tur property, going to America. 
 
 When the pirate ship came up they order'd us to stand 
 Your gold, and precious loading, this moment we de- 
 mand, 
 Your gold, and precious loading resign to us (his day 
 There's not a soul you'll ever ta^e unto America, 
 
 Then out spoke captain Colston that hero stout &bold 
 
 It's in the deep we all would lie, before we'd be con- 
 trolled, 
 
 When the battle it commeBced, the blood in streams 
 did flow, (overthrow. 
 
 But undaunted were our passengers who did thepirate 
 
 There was one yonng man upon the deck, with his 
 sweetheart by his side (bulwark side, 
 
 And with courage brave, tbey fought their way along 
 She cried ray gallant hero*s I soon will end this stsife 
 And with a pistol ball she took the pirate captains life 
 The cries of women & children as in the hold they lay 
 "Whilst the captain and his gallant crew shew'd them 
 
 ^^ Irish play, 
 With courage bold tbey boarded thepirate that day, 
 And our boys gave three cheers all for America. 
 
 Now to conclude & make an end the truth I tell to yoo 
 Not one soul we ever lost excepting one or two, 
 '1 he pirate ship surrendered just at the break of day, 
 And we brought her a prisoner unto America.

 #\ld Tubal Cain was a man of mighl, 
 
 In the days when earth was young ; 
 By the fierce red light of his furnace bright, 
 
 The strokes of his hammers rung; 
 An,d he lifted high his brawny hand, 
 
 On the iron glowing clear, 
 Till the sp.irks rushed out with scarlet rou 
 
 And he i>i 'r med the sword and spear, 
 And he sanp; ,!iurrah for my handiwork, 
 
 Hurrah for the spear and sword, 
 Hurrah for the hand that shall wield them 
 
 For he shall be king and lord. (well. 
 
 To Tubal Cian came many a one, 
 
 As he wrought by his roaring fire. 
 And eacb on^ prved for a strong steel blade 
 
 As the crow t.f his own desire; 
 And he made them weapons sharp & strong. 
 
 Till they shouted loud for glee, 
 And gave him gifts of pearls and gold, 
 
 And spoils of the forest free. 
 And they sang, hurrah for Tubal Cain, 
 
 Who hath given us strength anew ; 
 Hurrah for the smith, hurrah for the fire. 
 
 And hurrah for the metal true. 
 
 BM a sudden change came o'er his head. 
 
 Ere the setting of the sun. 
 Add Tubal Cain was tilled with pain, 
 
 For the evil he had done. 
 H^ saw that men, with rage and heat. 
 
 Made war upoi their kind, 
 A«id the land was red with the blood they shed 
 
 In their rasre for carnage blind. 
 Aod he said, a'as ! that ever I made, 
 
 Or that skill of mine should plan, 
 The speai and sword for the man whoes joy, 
 
 Is to slay his fellow man, 
 
 And for many a day old Tubal Cain, 
 
 Sat brooding o'er his woe; 
 AokJ his hand fori bore to smite the ore 
 
 And his furnace smouldered low, 
 But he rose at last with a cheerful face, 
 
 And a bright courageous eye, 
 Aud bared his srong right arm for work, 
 
 While the quick flames mounted high^ 
 Ami he sang, hurrah for my handiwork, 
 
 And thtt red sparks lit the air, (made, 
 
 Kot alone for the blade was the bright steel 
 
 And he fashioned the first plougshare. 
 
 An 1 men, taught wisdom from the past. 
 
 In friendship] )ined their hands, 
 Hung t'le sword in the hall, the spear on the 
 
 And p'oughed the willing land, (^wall,

 'N the days of old when forest and glade. 
 To the huners hounls were free, 
 The ratrry mei\ ro le through brake and glade 
 
 To meet at the tryst' ng tree. 
 And there was seen in Lincoln greeh, 
 
 Full many a yeom m bold, 
 Wth a good vew how. for buck or doe, 
 
 And « steed of st dwort mould. 
 And loud and lasting was the glee. 
 As they drank to the brave old trusting tree. 
 
 At early dawn oj merry May day, 
 
 The welkin would ring witli ghe. 
 And ihe villagers c.irried the Qaeeu of May 
 
 To be crowned at the trysting tree. 
 Bright eye^ wouM gLince in the j )vous dance 
 
 And tlie merry pipe would s)uud, 
 While the o d man's tale and the nut brown 
 ale. 
 Would add to tlie mir h around, 
 And the leaves woule shake on the brave old 
 tree, 
 ' lujoy at their rustic revelry. 
 
 Young lovers have met nf-ath h's giant shade 
 
 When t!ie curfew closM the dav. 
 And there has many a maitlen pray'd. 
 
 For her lov'd one far away. 
 Kings liave died in their regal pride. 
 
 And storms have swept the land. 
 But the trysting tree, though old he be. 
 
 Does still maintain his stand. 
 And niuy he live anotlier race to see* 
 And brave, the rare old trysting tree.

 My cruel father contrived it so. 
 Thai a y<aing shepherd should quickly go. 
 He told the prcASgang, vho did not fal. 
 To press my love to the Nightingale. 
 
 On the 15tli of November last.

 My love was in the dreadful galf^j 
 Went to the bottom in the Nightingale. 
 
 The very night my love was lost. 
 Appear d to me his da l\ ghost. 
 In sailor's dtess and visage pale, • 
 
 That was his dress in the N'ghtingale. 
 
 I lifted my head from my pillow so liigb, 
 His deadly ghost from me dd fly, 
 I little thought my love would sail. 
 Or end his days in the Nightingale 
 O lovely Nancy he not surprised, ' 
 In Biscay bay my body lies, 
 To beeome a prey to a shark or whale, 
 Th&t was my fate in the Nightingale. 
 My father's dwelling I will forsake. 
 Some lonely valley 1 will take, 
 Some lon'-ly valley or some distant hill. 
 To mourn his fate in the Nightingale.

 The rout has come this afternoon, that we mutt

 And many are the pretty girls we leave io grief

 Maoy is the pretty girls, crying out phillilloo, 
 Since the rifle boys has got the rout, oh, dear, 
 
 what shall we do. 
 
 I will set down and praise my love, I'll do it if I 
 
 can, 
 He has got as handsome a leg and thigh as any 
 
 other man. 
 His eherry cheeks and ruby lips, like wist a 
 
 sparkling eye, 
 Upon my life I'll be his wife, or for his sake I'll 
 
 die. 
 
 Says the mother to the daughter, what makdc 
 
 you speak so strange, 
 To marry a soldier the wide world to range ; 
 For soldiers are such rambling boySi and hare 
 
 suck littl« pay, 
 How can a man support a wife on thirteen-penc« 
 
 a day. 
 Says'the daughter to the mother what makes yo« 
 
 run them down, 
 For many is the farmer's sonbelongiag to th« 
 
 crown, 
 Many Is the farmer'r son my love do excel, 
 With fife and dru; . before him 1 like his courage 
 
 well 
 Says the mother to the daughter, Ml confine yo« 
 
 to a room, 
 Until all those soldiers do go out of town, 
 If you was to confine me seven long years, and 
 
 then to set me free. 
 It's down the country J will go my rifle boy to see 
 
 If you were to see them moving when the areoa 
 
 parade, 
 With their fife and drum beiore them, how 
 
 merrily they do play 
 with their three cock'd bat and scarlet coat, they 
 
 are dress'd so neat and clean. 
 And my curse attend girls that would not follow 
 
 them. 
 
 Then up came the drum major with bis corded 
 
 drum, 
 he beat at six in^he morning, and four in th« 
 
 afternoon 
 be beats up with such courage and makes such a 
 
 glorious noise, 
 which mak(s the girls of every town to follow th«

 Oome saddle me my milk white st«ed, 
 
 Come saddle it so ready; 
 Thon I will ride to my good Lord Judge, 
 
 To beg for the lile of my Georgy ; 
 But when she came into the hill 
 
 There Lords and Ladies plenty, 
 And down on her bended knofs she did fall, 
 
 Spare me the life of ray Georgy. 
 
 I have got sheep, I have got cows, 
 
 Oxen I have plenty, 
 And you shall call it all your own, 
 
 Spare me the life of my Georgy ; 
 The Judge he looked over his shoulder left, 
 
 Saying lady now be easy, 
 Georgy hath conftss'd and die he must, 
 
 '« Lord have mercy on my Georgy.** 
 
 Georgy t^hall be hanged in a chain of gold,

THE CONSTANT 
 
 91 4 ID. 
 
 AS I roved one evening to take the air, 
 
 In my perambulating 1 met a maiden fair, 
 Jier cheeks were rosy red — her hair was br^wn. 
 Her eyes were bewilder'd, as she strayed ihrongh 
 — Town. 
 
 I stood in contemplation to view tliis fair, 
 Juno, or Minerva, with lier couldn't compare, 
 Luna bright, that rules the n glit, or the Queen, 
 Couldn't compare witU that faii I met on — green. 
 
 Her teeth were like ivory, her s^^in like snow, 
 Her heart free from gnile tho' oppressed with woe, 
 Sheheav'd a sigh as she pass'd by— a token of grief 
 Saying, I'm oppressed and can tind no relief. 
 
 I genily slepp d U() to h r mv mind tocontenty 
 Saying, g nl ecieata-re. wh, do vou laruent? 
 Is your fa h-^r or mother dead or w liy do you mo*n 
 Oj have you no friends, but left a bird aloue? 
 
 Sho says, young man dun't i aat' r me but pity my 
 
 tale. 
 If \oa*ll p^y attention the trutli I'll reveal. 
 By Cupid I'm wounded which docs ine annoy, 
 I bigb and weep in my sleop, fara charcuing boy. 
 
 My parents have riches, but my lovo he is poor, 
 Ihey say if I wed him I'll b g from duor to «loar. 
 But was I an heiress of ten thousand pounds or 
 
 more. 
 I'd give it with pleasure to Lim I do fidore. 
 
 But my love is from me upon the Scotch shore, 
 He's gone for enployment al ng with many more. 
 He has not returned which aui^nments my woh, 
 And if the waves proves his grave distracted 1*11 go 
 
 To Ler 1 said, dear maid, these w«.rds pierce my 
 
 htart, 
 Perhaps your love has changed his mind^ since he 
 
 did depart, 
 Scotch lasses are enticing we understand. 
 They wi->h to keep Irish boys upon Scottish land. 
 
 1 saw Ibis maid endeavour to hide the tear, 
 Sayinjr, tould he be cruel to one v»ho loves him dear 
 The ni^ht that we parted 1 thought his beart would 
 
 break, 
 He said he'd die for me if I'd him forsake. 
 
 But if my love placed his mind on another maid. 
 Through groves, and vallies. & woods 1 11 serenade | 
 no man shall enjoy me until I die. 
 But in discontent my days 111 spend for my darling '

 Of malmsbury and malvoisie. 
 And Cyprus, and who can say bowinaDy more 
 
 'For a chary old soul ie he. 
 Of sack and 'Canary he never dcrth fail, 
 
 And^all the }ear Tound there is brewing of

 Yet he never aUeth he iquaintly doth say, 
 While he keqps to his «ober six flagons a-day. 
 
 But ho, ho, ho ! his nose doth snow, 
 
 How oft the %iack-jack to bis doth go, 
 
 IDame Margery sits in her own still roomy 
 
 And a matron sage is she, 
 From thence oft at curfewr, is wanted a fume, 
 
 Bot she says lit is rosemary. 
 But there's a -SHiall cupboard Itebind the back 
 stair, 
 
 And the maids say they often «ee Margery 
 there, 
 And Margery says she grows <very old. 
 And must take a something to keep out thecold 
 
 JBut ho, ho, bo ! old Simon doth know. 
 
 Where many a flask of (bis best doth go. 
 
 Old^imon redlinesin his high back'd chair-} 
 
 And talks of taking a wife. 
 And Margery dft has been heard to declare, 
 
 She ought to be settled for life. 
 INow Margery basso tbe maids say, a tongue 
 She's not 'verybandsome, nor yet very young

 And Simon he brews hiraa tankard instead. 
 
 With bo, bo, bo, he'll chuckle and crow, 
 
 Wbat marry €>ld Margeryf— no, no, no. 
 
 jQH., dear, these axe Shocking hard times, 
 
 riie like of tliem n- ver was known,* 
 1 Irro' liviag with old Master Grimes, 
 
 I'm nothing- but mere skin and bones, 
 So fast 1 am wasting away, 
 
 I'm getting as thin as a^rat I declare, 
 And the wages from this did miserly man^ 
 
 ^re only four pounds in th« year. 
 •Out of that IVe got to find clothes. 
 
 And jet this miserly old elf— 
 I'm sure you'd never suppose— 
 
 Is actually rolling in pelf. 
 His temper i« worse than a Turk, 
 
 I do all bis short jobs 1 declar*,- 
 In fact I'm his maid of all work, 
 
 -And ouly gets four pounds a year. 
 M V livi«g it being bO hard. 
 
 There « no fear of my getting the gout, 
 1 pity the rats and the mice, 
 
 For like skeletons tbey all run about, 
 'Twasonly this morning the uiany, 
 He swore, as my nose he did handle. 
 From my wages he would stop a penny- 
 
 'Cause I bit off a piece of his candle' 
 Twas but tills morning agai«, 
 
 AS his band on my shoulder he psrts. 
 After looking awhile at his cupboard. 
 
 Sent me for a ha'p'orth of sprats ; 
 'I fetched them, Iicook'd them in grease. 
 
 And what do you think ? to my sorrow. 
 After we ate a mouthful a-piece. 
 
 He put the rest by till lo-morror.-. 
 At night in the cellar I'm packed, 
 
 wbsre there's only a sack for my bed, 
 lEvery window is broken or crack'd, 
 
 And I-ve nothing to cover my head, 
 Ihe rats they come gnawing my toes 
 
 Becausethey nnd nought on the shelf, 
 But 1 never drive'em away 'cause -I knows, 
 
 what it is to be hungry myself. 
 
 Often when I pass by a-cook-sbop. 
 
 My hands in my pockets am fumbling, 
 The smell it invites me to stop, 
 aH the while my little -worms are grumbling 
 <when I see a dog gnawing a-bone. 
 
 That's given by some good-natured 0lf, 
 "So Huch do I envy the treat. 
 
 That r steal it, and gnaw it myself, 
 1 really would leave him to-morrow. 
 
 That is, if my wages I could get, 
 ilthough they've been due now a nrorfth.

 He wanted but ono th.ng, and that was a wife,sir. 
 
 To keep his mud man-ion in order arrayed ; 
 Say P'it, I've caught man\ things in ray life, sir, 
 
 The most difficult thing is in catching a maid. 
 
 One day pat was fishing upon the salt ocean. 
 And catching fresh herrings and sprats in galore. 
 When a dght met his eye, put him all in com- 
 motion. 
 
 Such a one in his life he bad ne'er seen before 
 Twasa beautiful mermaid as naked as Yenu<,

 TfiE flower of the valley was Mary Machree, 
 Hec smiles a'l bswitcbiug were lovely to see. 
 The bees louud her humming when summer was 
 
 gone, 
 And the roses were fled, might take her Hp for one 
 Her laugl) it was music, her breath it was balm. 
 Her heart, like the lake, was as pure and as calm. 
 Till love o'ercame, like a breeze o*er the sea, 
 And made the heart heave of sweet Mary Macbree* 
 
 She loved and she wept, nor was sadness e*er known 
 To dwell in tlie bosom that love makes its own ; 
 His joys are but moments, his griefs are for years. 
 He comes all in smdes, but he leaves all in tears. 
 Her lover was sjone to a far distant land, 
 And Mary in sicknes>s would pace the lone strand^ 
 And tearfully gaze on the dark rolling sea. 
 That putted her lover from Mary Machree;

 MY WIFE'S FIRST BABY. 
 
 'H Bother night as I lay in my bed, 
 Along with my wife Mrs. Bunning, 
 he said Tom, for the doctor pray run, 
 For I think our first baby is coming. 
 1 dress'd myself quick, yoii';l suppose, 
 
 The snow on the grotjnd was fast falling, 
 Sliut the door and was cutting away? 
 
 VVlien the policeman sent me a sprawling 
 
 i'lollo, my fine fellow, said he, (hour, 
 
 I ^oirvebeen robl-ing tise house of a neigii- 
 »n vain I implorevi lo \)e free, 
 And toUi hi s njy wii'c was in labour;

 Said he then yoti'll soon f »]low suit. 
 For conlin'd you'll be 1 maintain. 
 To the station witli me you must go. 
 Your tale is all labour in va:n. 
 
 The inspector on duty I knew. 
 
 And got off very pleased witfi his answe 
 For he said the policeman should go. 
 
 And find out rhe nurse Mrs. Tanner, 
 To the wrong he went, and then 
 
 Very loud at the door began knocking. 
 Oh, they emptied the contents ot the po^^ 
 
 On his head, and he look'd very shockins 
 
 The doctor he made matters riorht, 
 
 And brought forth the precious sweet baby 
 
 Which good reason I had to d(^piore. 
 For the treatment 1 get is so shubby. 
 
 My bed is like one in a garden, 
 
 Well watered each night, and I'm sure 
 You will pity my case when I say 
 On my legs 1 oft find some maiiuie. 
 
 Son;etimes I*m awoke in the night 
 
 By the child kicking up a great rout. 
 Out of bed Pm obliged for to get, 
 
 And I trot the young fellow about. 
 But the weather is so very cold, 
 
 To pity nie you'll be incliri'd. 
 For my shirt which is wet thro' and thro', 
 
 Keeps Happing against my behind. 
 
 The folks tell me never to mind, * 
 
 My feelings 1 always sliould smother; 
 Tho' this may be all very well. 
 
 But my wife she will j-oon have another, 
 she is such rum'un to go, 
 
 I ought to have plenty of riches, 
 In the family way she will fall 
 
 If I just on the bed throw my breeches. 
 
 Of these to'my wife i complain, [it. 
 
 And I tell her the game she should strilvo 
 But she says it's ray fault and not her's, 
 
 She'll have the whole lot 'cause she likes it. 
 So 1 try to bear up ail 1 can, 
 
 Though I own I'm a bit ot a grumbler. 
 Yet it is belter perhaps after all.

 The Farmer's ISon. 
 
 GOOD people g-ive attention while 1 sing in praise 
 Of the happv situation we liv'd in former days; 
 Whca my father kepti» farm, and my mother milk d 
 
 her cow. 
 How happy we liv'd then to what we do now, 
 
 When mymoiher was a knitting-, and mv sister she 
 would spin, f 
 
 And by their grood industry they kept it neat and {; 
 elean; 
 
 1 rose early in tha morning, with my father went 
 to ploiiijh, 
 
 How hapjty we liv'd then to what we do now 
 
 My brother gaVe assistance in tending to the sheep* 
 When tired with ourlabour how contented we could 
 
 sleep ; 
 So early in (he morning- we again set off to plough. 
 How happy \\n liv'd then to what we do nQW. 
 
 Then to market wllh our fleece, when our little 
 
 herd WHS shorn , 
 And our neighbours we sujjplied them with plenf;, 
 
 of good corn; 
 
 At half-a-crown a bushel we could sell it then I vow f^'p\«gi)

 How merry would the farmers then sing along the t'^:;-!^ 
 
 When wheat was sold at market for five pounds ^%§^

 They went into an ale-house, and s-ing *' God speed ^4^'

 How happv w« liv'd then to what we do now: ^K^'^;;* 
 
 I never knew at that time, & search the country %^^^ 
 
 That butter ever sold for more than 4 pence a pound vl^^:^ 
 And a quart of new milk for a penny fram the cow, t^^Sj 
 How happy we liv'd then to what we do now, x^^^ 
 
 A blessing to the squire, he gave us great content, f^^'j^ 
 How well he enteriaind us when my father paid his ^J^^

 With flaggons of good ale, he sung " Farmer speed

 How happy we liv'd then to what we do now. 
 
 At length the squire died, God bless his ancient pate l^^^ 
 Another one, fill'd up with pride, came heir to his ^ji^

 He took my father faim away and others too, I vow irg^^ 
 Which brought us to the wretched state that we are Vi^f*^ 
 May Providence befriend us, and raise up honest

 The Brave Orenadier. 
 
 A Gaurdsman of courage and beauty 
 
 Both handsome, proportioned, and tall 
 Was pacing the terrace on duty, 
 Not far from the Georgian halL 
 Eachmaiden was pi eased as she passiiu aim 
 
 So noblv his form did appear. 
 Their smiles and fond ogles distressed him, 
 
 Thoush he was a brave grenadier. 
 They looked at his person so clever 
 
 And gazed at his shining b'ack eye 
 Such beantv and grace they saw never, 
 
 And reluctant they passed witn a sipl» 
 They viewed his Acoutrementg bright ei, 
 
 Than starlight ot sunlight so clear. 
 And his belt plurne and trowsers scenaeJ whller. 
 
 Because twas their pert grenadier. 
 
 There a maiden came heedlessly strolling. 
 
 Where the warrior was warching along. 
 His eyes thay were amorously rolling, 
 
 And his lips were just breathing a song, 
 She paus'fi as she tripp'd gently by him. 
 
 And ngled him with her blue eye. 
 She dr<!op'd her fair forehead to try hirn. 
 
 Aud told him she lov d wifli a sigh. 
 Faint heartea our hero was never, 
 
 So he ogled and sigh'd in return, 
 He saw she was bnnny and clever, 
 
 And ii made him both flutter and bnru. 
 Her tresses were auburn and droopir.g, 
 
 AH arnuud her fair forehead of sn.;w. 
 Her glove she let droop'd and in stooping 
 A neat ancle peep'd from below, 
 
 Thev with love had eonquored each othei 
 Their glances were fatally keen. 
 
 She lov'd hipi far m«re than her brother, 
 And he lov'd BYi more than a queen, 
 
 She wisper'd to morrow '111 wande;-. 
 Close bv your bold barracks at Eve, 
 
 My Sister's are waiting roe yonder, 
 And duty compels me to leave, 
 
 He gave her his sigh and his blessivi'. 
 And she struggled to hide a warm tear. 
 
 Her lily white hand he was pressing, 
 And she bei>d to her brave grenadier. 
 
 Adieu (she exclaim'd) till the morrovr- 
 Adieu my dear soldier adieu, 
 
 I leave you in love and in sorrow. 
 But soon will return unto you, 
 
 This soldier and maiden did marr/, 
 Their lives were both constant and true, 
 
 And Susan caressed by her Harry, 
 No anguish or misery knew. 
 
 When at Church or at h<j«ne they where coated 
 With smiles they each other would cheer, 
 
 She was never too prond to be gr«eted, 
 Bv her noble and brave grenadier,

 I used to be steady I naed to be staid 
 My toys were all bougllt at the Low-

 I sat at ihf feet of my dearest mama 
 Or recite pweet poems to tondestpapa 
 Or go v-tli my sister for walks in the 
 
 park. 
 And was sure to return quite an hour 
 
 before dark, 
 But now things have changed and

 Bye-' ye ta-ta-itv feiiah; 
 Dash-ir v crasli-itv.SDiash-ity, bash-ity 
 
 Mash-iest Masher of all. 
 
 1 usee] to be bashful, I used to be shy 
 If a lady looked at me I cast down 
 
 my eye. 
 But if she should tickle me under 
 
 the chin, 
 In my innocent heart I thought 'twas 
 
 a sin, 
 If I went to a soiree, rout or a ball, 
 I was sure to be found close to the wall 
 "Whilst others were dancing and en- 
 joying the fun, 
 I was wopping myself round a tart 
 or a bun.

 Jam-ient masher of all. 
 
 I used to be me mealy, I used to be 
 mild, 
 
 To my books and my studies was 
 reconciled ; 
 
 f \ised to believe that all heroes were 
 brave, 
 
 And theu- duties were ill-treated dam- 
 feel? tr save ; 
 
 I usca to believe free trade was a boon 
 
 Ana the talk of good times would ap- 
 pear very soon, 
 
 No Avondor folks laughed at my inno- 
 cence then, 
 
 But these notions all flew when I 
 mis-sd up with men. 
 
 I'm a leary and lanlc-ity cierk m lihe

 I used to be truthful, I used to be 
 young, 
 
 And in company never found the use 
 of my tongup, 
 
 I always had plenty of blushes on hand 
 
 And a faint now and then I could al- 
 ways command ; 
 
 I was the most innocent mortaktflive, 
 
 Always thought five beans should be 
 countt^d as five ; 
 
 Always thoughtf^the sun brought dm

 Afid I will sing as in the past, 
 
 Of dear old Erin's Isle, 
 Her sons were never cowards vet, 
 
 Our courage will not flag, 
 For we are ready, in your cause, 
 
 To fight beneath your fiag, 
 
 Ireland still is Ireland, 
 
 As brave as in the past. 
 Willing in a righteous cause. 
 
 To act a brother's part, 
 Her sons aj'e alway.^; ready, 
 
 With hands both true an I steady 
 To prove that 'neath an Irish coat. 
 
 There beats a noble h^.art, 
 
 When England'^ been at v:iri;ince, 
 
 With valiant foreign ices. 
 Who was it gained the victory, 
 
 But the Shamrock and the Rose ? 
 "When bullets rained arouud us. 
 
 Wo true and nobly stood, 
 And showed the world that Ave could 
 fight, 
 
 ks heroes only could. 
 
 Thein let us stand as brothers still, 
 
 For count^'y, home and Queen, 
 We never have been beaten yet. 
 
 When fighting Avith a will. 
 Still hand in hand we'll journey wi. 
 
 Unheeding slander's voice, 
 And when we are united, we 
 
 Must one and ali rejtoice. 
 
THE 
 
 CRINOLINE. 
 
 Sec. 25. 
 
 Good people give allenlion and listen to tny rhymes, " 
 I'll sing about the fashions that's in vogue the prestiit time, 
 The ladies once wore bustles, now they think they can't be fine, 
 Without a bat and feather and a fancy crinoline. 
 
 Just twig the preily ladies, now don't they cut a shine, 
 With a dandy hat and feather and a fancy crinoline. 
 
 As I was walkiiis? through the street not many days ago, 
 I met a gal who said she was looking for a beau ; 
 She invited me to go with her, I said I did not mind. 
 For she look'd just like au au^el Ure&scd in her crinoline. 
 
 She took me to a splendid house with cushions on the chairs. 
 She treated me with brandy, then she took me up the stairs, 
 Slie nndressd me very kindly and said she would be mine, 
 But 1 cursed the night that ever I admired her crinoline. 
 
 I had a 8plen<lid watch and chain, I'd gold and silver too. 
 But in the morning when I woke I scarce knew what to do. 
 For in the middle of the night, after treating her so kind, 
 She stole my money, watch, and clothes, and left me her crinoline 
 
 There's a pretty bobbin-winder, her name is Mary Can* 
 
 She's courting a snob, so help my bob, that lives in • Lane, 
 
 Last Sunday afternoon, she thought to cut a shine 
 
 With the huoDs off her moiher's washing tub she made a crinoline. 
 
 I know a steam loom weaver, so cunning and so sly. 
 She's got a hump on her back, and squints with her eye, 
 
 And works at Factory, her name is Ann O'Brien, 
 
 Her smock's as black as a chimney back, and she wears a crinoline. 
 
 There's a woman lives on 
 
 Road, thev call her Martha Brown, 
 
 She wanted to buy a crinoline, to wear underneath her tjown, 
 But ner husband wusld not let her, and when she was inclin'd 
 She'd a little son mark'd on his b— m, with a lady's crinoline.

THE 
 
 STRAND- 
 RUSHING 
 
 MASHER. 
 
 Sec. 35. 
 
 I've found out a secret, to live without work, 
 
 Which has j)roved a gocd fortune to me, 
 Viii now "oil the nod,' and I tind that it pay«, 
 
 I or 1 tap e\X'ry one that I see. 
 An I stroird through the city to look for a friend. 
 
 To-day I met with such a dasher, 
 [ asked him to lend nie a fiver, you see, 
 
 For I'm known aa the Strand-rushing Mashart 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 I'm known as the Strand -rushing Mashar, 
 111 fact I'm a regular dasher, 
 I'm envied by swells, for I win all the girls, 
 A.nd I'm known as the Strand- rushing Masher! 
 
 Some think I'm a Captain, you know, on half pay, 
 
 While others take me for an Earl ; 
 I'm neither of those, the truth I'll confess. 
 
 Though a thorough good fnend to a girl. 
 If she's got any money I then play my game, 
 
 And it's ten pound to one that I win it. 
 For I've got such a way that they cannot refuse, 
 
 And like Crackpots are bound to part with it. 
 
 One day, now, I chanced to pop into the Cri', 
 
 I was soon introduced to a girl, 
 Who asked me to join in a bottle of fizz, 
 
 Which sent my poor head in a whirl ; 
 Then she asked me to see her safe home to her door, 
 
 I said, " Yea, with the greatest of pleasure," 
 But before she departed I borrowed a quid, 
 
 And awoTn she was my only treasure. 
 
BANDY 
 
 Sec. 28. 
 
 Of all the queer fashions you ever did see, 
 
 You of something shall hear if you listen to me ; 
 
 Its of the proud lasses who ramble along, 
 
 With a bundle of hair which they call a Chignon. 
 
 Just twig the young lasses as they walk along, 
 With an oyster-shell Bonnet, and dandy Chignon. 
 
 Of 8uch comical dresses and comical ways. 
 They'd no such idea in my Grandmother's days, 
 They were homely and comely, went cleanly along. 
 With bonnets to hide their sweet faces from the sun. 
 
 Billy Snip went to walk with his sister-in-law, 
 At the back of her head she'd a great bunch of straw, 
 She trimmed it up neatly but it came undone, 
 And a young fellow cried, Miss, you've dropped your 
 Chignon. 
 
 My wife wears a Chignon, says Liverpool Jack, 
 I'll swear its as big as a soldier's knapsack. 
 She gave birth to a daughter last Sunday but one, 
 That was mark'd on the head with a ladies' Chignon. 
 
 I know a young damsel named Mary M'Call, 
 T'other night was invited to go to a ball, 
 So in order to make her look handsome and fine, 
 She'd a Chignon before, and another behind. 
 
 There's an old cobbler's daughter lives over the way, 
 Said she'd have a Chignon to make her look gay, 
 She tormented her father and did him so vex, 
 He made her a Chignon with bristles and wax. 
 
 On Saturday morning young carroty Peg, 
 Pell into the gutter and fratured her leg. 
 She dirtied her dress and some cow dung got on, 
 Her oyster-shell bonnet and dandy Chignon. 
 
 Old Mrs. Goasy, its true 'pon my life, 
 
 The bridge of her nose is as sharp as a knife ; 
 
 She has two bandy legs and she's turned eighty one, 
 
 She went to a barber's and bought a Chignon. 
 
 Mrs. Flash in a dream t'other night left her bed, 
 And in a mistake put the po on her head ; 
 O what are you at, says her poor husband Paul, 
 "J^hy, says she, I am trying my new waterfall. 
 
 A clean night dress and chemise she had to put on, 
 And all thxeugh her dreaming about her Chignon, 
 
THE BLOones. 
 
 
 \?0u lads and you lasses attend, 1 will sing you a comical dity, 
 The bloomer's from Yankey is come, don't you think it looks wonderful pretty, 
 They tell us some laughable tales, that the women must all wear the breeches, 
 "While their husbands they must stay at home, and wash up the pots and dishes. 
 
 Frill shirt. Cravat and Trousers, you see on the women they cut it quite fat. 
 Instead of fine bonnets and and boas, they have on a cock and pinched hat, 
 Their furbelows, flounces and shawls, the Bloomers will all lay aside. 
 In boots that will reach to their knees, straddle legs on a donkey they'll ride. 
 
 It will be a most comical thing in England to see such a change. 
 The women dressed up in men's clothes, won't it look wonderful strange 
 Through the hedges and ditches they'll go, secure from all storm and wind. 
 With buttons and braces so tight, and flaps to their trowsers behind. 
 
 When that the bloomers get fat you must know & begins to grow thick round the 
 We will be prepared for the change no stays they will have for to lace, [waist. 
 Elastic trowsers they'll wear just made in the fashion and style. 
 For to fit round the belly and waist that will reach seven roods and a mile. 
 
 Sally Morgan last night she did say to her husband, she must wear the breeches. 
 The bloomers have sent her near mad, that she will jump o'er the hedges & ditches. 
 Although she is blind of an eye and her legs they are just like a bow, 
 She says, it's full time for to change with the bloumers, she means for to go 
 
 For horse soldiers the ladies will go, the ladies will love for to ride, 
 
 TheyTl fight the proud French or the Dutch, they can fire back belly or side. 
 
 No longer they'll gossip at home with petticoats bustles aud pumps, , 
 
 To the fife and the drum they will march to the tune they call cock on my ramp. 
 
 The tailors will have a fine trade to fit out the bloomers, o dear, 
 
 To measure their delicate waist, I am sure, it will make them feel queer. 
 
 With their sleeve board & bodkin so bought & goose for to press down the stitches, 
 
 The tailors will say with a smile 1 would like for to button your breeches. 
 
 For bricklayer and hodmen they'll go, and run up the ladders like fun. 
 Such attorneys and barristers at law, was near since the world first began. 
 They will lay down the law so complete, in court their part they will plaj', 
 'Their tongues will go faster, I'm sure, than ecginges that's on the Railway. 
 
 You husbands prepare for this change, you must all slay at home in the hoDse, 
 The child in the cradle must rock and keep it as still as a mouse, 
 Thehippings you must wash andilry, and clean up the pots and the dishes, 
 The bloomers say one and all no longer you shall wear the breeches. 
 
A Me>v 8ong 
 
 ON 
 
 THE BLOOMER C08TUME. 
 
 Oh, did you hear the news of late, 
 
 According to the rumours, 
 The pretty ladies one and all, 
 
 Are going to join the bloomers. 
 Since Mrs. Dexter's come to town. 
 
 She says, oh what a row sir, 
 The men shall wear the petticoats 
 
 And ladiQs wear the trousers. 
 Oh, did you hear, &c. 
 
 Now Mrs. Dexter's come to town, 
 
 She says, she'll not be lazy, 
 But quickly turn the ladies brains. 
 
 And set the men all crazy, 
 Old maids and lasses fine and gay, 
 
 Short stumpy tall and bandy, 
 I-iong petticoats now throw away, 
 
 And beat the yanky dandy. 
 
 Prince Albert and the Queen one day 
 
 Had such a jolly row sirs. 
 She threw off her petticoat 
 
 And put on boots and trousers ; 
 Won't it be funny for to see 
 
 Ladies possessed of riches, 
 Riding up and down the town 
 
 In Wellingtons and breeches. 
 
 Now you with ancles short and thick,' 
 
 Of every rank and station. 
 Oh, won't you cut it fine and slick. 
 
 By this new alteration. 
 And landladies that creep about, 
 
 Well known as twenty stoners, 
 Come shove your bustles up the spout, 
 
 And join the dashing bloomers. 
 
 The bloomers dress the people say. 
 
 Is getting all the go now. 
 The pretty factory lasses they. 
 
 Will cut a gallant show now. 
 In petticoats above their knees, 
 
 And breeches too you'll find them 
 Nice jackets made of velveteen, 
 
 All button'd up behind them. 
 
 Now married men take my advice, 
 
 vStep out and spend your riches, 
 And buy your wives all in a trice, 
 
 Short petticoats and breeches. 
 For in the fashion she will hop. 
 
 When e'er she's out of humour, 
 I wonder if her tongue will stop, 
 
 When she becomes a bloomer. 
 
 Last night my wife she said to me, 
 
 Tom, when we get the notes in, 
 I'll have a pair of gaiters, and. 
 
 Breeches made of goats skin, 
 A pair of boots and silver spurs. 
 
 For I have got such bad legs, 
 I cannot hide I'll have to ride. 
 
 The donkey now a strad-legs. 
 
 The men must go out selling fish. 
 
 And deal in shrimps and mussels, 
 Dress'd up in ladies petticoats. 
 
 Fine flounces and big bustles, 
 You'll have no call to work at all, 
 
 But walk out in your broaches. 
 The ladies are determined, for. 
 
 To drive the cabs and coaches. 
 
 The tailors now must all be sharp 
 
 In making noble stitches 
 And be sure and clap their burning goose, 
 
 Upon the ladies' breeches ; 
 Their pretty little fingers will 
 
 Be just as sore as mutton. 
 Until that they have found the way 
 
 Their trousers to unbutton. 
 
 You factory lasses one and all 
 
 Your dresses all reform now 
 Buy a jacket and a trousers for 
 
 To keep you snug and warm now ; 
 Short petticoats and garters too 
 
 No matter how the times goes 
 A billycock and feather for 
 
 To see which way tlie wind blows.
