Ballad�此 �The Way Of Wooing
A maiden sat at her window wide�察�Pretty enough for a Prince's bride�察�
Yet nobody came to claim her。 She sat like a beautiful picture there�察�With
pretty bluebells and roses fair�察�And jasmine´leaves to frame her。 And why
she sat there nobody knows�察�But this she sang as she plucked a rose�察�The
leaves around her strewing�此 �I've time to lose and power to choose�察�'T is
not so much the gallant who woos�察�But the gallant's WAY of wooing� ─�
A lover came riding by awhile�察�A wealthy lover was he�察�whose smile
Some maids would value greatly ´ A formal lover�察�who bowed and bent�察�
With many a high´flown compliment�察 �And cold demeanour stately�察�
;You've still�察─ �said she to her suitor stern�察 �The 'prentice´work of your
craft to learn�察�If thus you come a´cooing。 I've time to lose and power to
choose�察�'T is not so much the gallant who woos�察�As the gallant's WAY of
wooing� ─�
A second lover came ambling by ´ A timid lad with a frightened eye
And a colour mantling highly。 He muttered the errand on which he'd come�察�
Then only chuckled and bit his thumb�察 �And simpered�察 �simpered shyly。
;No�察─ �said the maiden�察 �go your way�察 �You dare but think what a man
would say�察�Yet dare to come a´suing� �I've time to lose and power to choose�察�
'T is not so much the gallant who woos�察�As the gallant's WAY of wooing� ─�
A third rode up at a startling pace ´ A suitor poor�察�with a homely face ´
No doubts appeared to bind him。 He kissed her lips and he pressed her
waist�察�And off he rode with the maiden�察�placed On a pillion safe behind
him。 And she heard the suitor bold confide This golden hint to the priest
who tied The knot there's no undoing�察�With pretty young maidens who can
choose�察�'Tis not so much the gallant who woos�察�As the gallant's WAY of
wooing� ─�

Ballad�此 �Hongree And Mahry。 A
Recollection Of A Surrey Melodrama
The sun was setting in its wonted west�察 �When HONGREE�察 �Sub´
Lieutenant of Chassoores�察 �Met MAHRY DAUBIGNY�察 �the Village Rose�察�
Under the Wizard's Oak ´ old trysting´place Of those who loved in rosy
Aquitaine。
They thought themselves unwatched�察 �but they were not�察 �For
HONGREE�察 �Sub´Lieutenant of Chassoores�察 �Found in LIEUTENANT´
COLONEL JOOLES DUBOSC A rival�察�envious and unscrupulous�察�Who
thought it not foul scorn to dodge his steps�察�And listen�察�unperceived�察�to all
that passed Between the simple little Village Rose And HONGREE�察�Sub´
Lieutenant of Chassoores。
A clumsy barrack´bully was DUBOSC�察 �Quite unfamiliar with the
well´bred tact That animates a proper gentleman In dealing with a girl of
humble rank。 You'll understand his coarseness when I say He would have
married MAHRY DAUBIGNY�察�And dragged the unsophisticated girl Into
the whirl of fashionable life�察 �For which her singularly rustic ways�察 �Her
breeding ��moral�察 �but extremely rude���察 �Her language ��chaste�察 �but
ungrammatical���察�Would absolutely have unfitted her。 How different to this
unreflecting boor Was HONGREE�察�Sub´Lieutenant of Chassoores。
Contemporary with the incident Related in our opening paragraph�察�
Was that sad war 'twixt Gallia and ourselves That followed on the treaty
signed at Troyes�察�And so LIEUTENANT´COLONEL JOOLES DUBOSC
��Brave soldier�察 �he�察 �with all his faults of style�� And HONGREE�察 �Sub´
Lieutenant of Chassoores�察�Were sent by CHARLES of France against the
lines Of our Sixth HENRY ��Fourteen twenty´nine���察�To drive his legions
out of Aquitaine。
When HONGREE�察 �Sub´Lieutenant of Chassoores�察 �Returned�察�
suspecting nothing�察�to his camp�察�After his meeting with the Village Rose�察�
He found inside his barrack letter´box A note from the commanding
officer�察 �Requiring his attendance at head´quarters。 He went�察 �and found

;Young HONGREE�察 �Sub´Lieutenant of Chassoores�察 �This night we
shall attack the English camp�此�Be the 'forlorn hope' yours ´ you'll lead it�察�
sir�察�And lead it too with credit�察�I've no doubt。 As every man must certainly
be killed ��For you are twenty 'gainst two thousand men���察�It is not likely
that you will return。 But what of that�拭�you'll have the benefit Of knowing
that you die a soldier's death。;
Obedience was young HONGREE'S strongest point�察�But he imagined
that he only owed Allegiance to his MAHRY and his King。 ;If MAHRY
