his age ´ or somebody might declare That BARNACLE'S long pig´tail was 

never his own own hair。 

    BELAYE would admit that his men were of no great use to him�察 �But�察�

then�察─�he would say�察 �there is little to do on a gunboat trim I can hand�察�and 

reef�察�and steer�察�and fire my big gun too ´ And it IS such a treat to sail with 

a gentle well´bred crew。; 

    I saw him every day。        How the happy moments sped� �Reef topsails� �

Make all taut�     �There's dirty weather ahead� 。�I do not mean that tempests 

threatened the HOT CROSS BUN�察�In THAT case�察�I don't know whatever 

we SHOULD have done�。� 

    After a fortnight's cruise�察�we put into port one day�察�And off on leave 

for   a   week   went   kind   LIEUTENANT   BELAYE�察�And   after   a   long   long 

week   had   passed   ��and   it   seemed   like   a   life���察  �LIEUTENANT   BELAYE

returned to his ship with a fair young wife� �

     He up�察�and he says�察�says he�察 �O crew of the HOT CROSS BUN�察�Here 

is   the   wife   of   my   heart�察  �for   the   Church   has   made   us   one� ─  �And   as   he 

uttered the word�察�the crew went out of their wits�察�And all fell down in so 

many separate fainting´fits。 

     And then their hair came down�察�or off�察�as the case might be�察�And lo� �

the rest of the crew were simple girls�察�like me�察�Who all had fled from their 

homes      in  a  sailor's  blue    array�察 �To   follow    the   shifting   fate  of  kind 

LIEUTENANT BELAYE。 

     * * * * * * * * 

     It's strange to think that I should ever have loved young men�察�But I'm 

speaking of ten years past ´ I was barely sixty then�察�And now my cheeks 

are furrowed with grief and age�察�I trow� �And poor POLL PINEAPPLE'S 

eyes have lost their lustre now� �

                 Ballad�此               �The Two Ogres 



     Good children�察�list�察�if you're inclined�察�And wicked children too ´ This 

pretty ballad is designed Especially for you。 

     Two   ogres   dwelt   in Wickham  Wold   ´   Each TRAITS   distinctive   had�此�

The younger was as good as gold�察�The elder was as bad。 

    A wicked�察�disobedient son Was JAMES M'ALPINE�察�and A contrast to 

the elder one�察�Good APPLEBODY BLAND。 

    M'ALPINE         ´  brutes  like  him   are  few   ´  In  greediness   delights�察  �A 

melancholy victim to Unchastened appetites。 

     Good�察�well´bred children every day He ravenously ate�察 � All boys were 

fish who found their way Into M'ALPINE'S net�此�

    Boys   whose   good   breeding   is   innate�察  �Whose   sums   are   always   right�察�

And boys who don't expostulate When sent to bed at night�察�

    And   kindly   boys   who   never   search   The   nests   of   birds   of   song�察�And 

serious boys for whom�察�in church�察�No sermon is too long。 

     Contrast   with   JAMES'S   greedy   haste And   comprehensive   hand�察  �The 

nice discriminating taste Of APPLEBODY BLAND。 

    BLAND   only   eats   bad   boys�察  �who   swear   ´   Who   CAN   behave�察  �but 

DON'T ´ Disgraceful lads who say ;don't care�察─�And ;shan't�察─�and ;can't�察─�

and ;won't。; 

    Who wet their shoes and learn to box�察�And say what isn't true�察�Who 

bite their nails and jam their frocks�察�And make long noses too�察�

    Who kick a nurse's aged shin�察�And sit in sulky mopes�察�And boys who 

twirl poor kittens in Distracting zoetropes。 

    But   JAMES�察  �when   he   was   quite   a   youth�察  �Had   often   been   to   school�察�

And though so bad�察�to tell the truth�察�He wasn't quite a fool。 

    At logic few with him could vie�察�To his peculiar sect He could propose 

a fallacy With singular effect。 

     So�察�when his Mentors said�察 �Expound ´ Why eat good children ´ why�拭─�

Upon his Mentors he would round With this absurd reply�此�

     ;I have been taught to love the good ´ The pure ´ the unalloyed ´ And 

wicked boys�察�I've understood�察�I always should avoid。

     ;Why do I eat good children ´ why�拭�Because I love them so� ─。�But this 

was empty sophistry�察�As your Papa can show。�� 

    Now�察�though the learning of his friends Was truly not immense�察�They 

had a way of fitting ends By rule of common sense。 

     ;Away�察�away� ─�his Mentors cried�察 �Thou uncongenial pest� �A quirk's a 

thing we can't abide�察�A quibble we detest� �

     ;A   fallacy   in   your   reply   Our   intellect   descries�察  �Although   we   don't 

pretend to spy Exactly where it lies。 

     ;In misery and penal woes Must end a glutton's joys�察�And learn how 

ogres punish those Who dare to eat good boys。 

     ;Secured by fetter�察�cramp�察�and chain�察�And gagged securely ´ so ´ You 

shall be placed in Drury Lane�察�Where only good lads go。 

     ;Surrounded there by virtuous boys�察�You'll suffer torture wus Than that 

which constantly annoys Disgraceful TANTALUS。 

     �─�If you would learn the woes that vex Poor TANTALUS�察�down there�察�

Pray borrow of Papa an ex´ Purgated LEMPRIERE。�� 

     ;But as for BLAND who�察�as it seems�察�Eats only naughty boys�察�We've 

planned a recompense that teems With gastronomic joys。 

     ;Where   wicked   youths   in   crowds   are   stowed   He   shall   unquestioned 

rule�察�And have the run of Hackney Road Reformatory School� ─�

                    Ballad�此               �Little Oliver 



    EARL JOYCE he was a kind old party Whom nothing ever could put 

out�察�Though eighty´two�察�he still was hearty�察�Excepting as regarded gout。 

    He     had   one   unexampled      daughter�察   �The   LADY      MINNIE´HAHA 

JOYCE�察     �Fair  MINNIE´HAHA�察          �Laughing     Water�察─  �So   called  from   her 

melodious voice。 

    By Nature planned for lover´capture�察�Her beauty every heart assailed�察�

The good old nobleman with rapture Observed how widely she prevailed 

    Aloof  from  all   the  lordly  flockings   Of   titled   swells   who   worshipped 

her�察  �There   stood�察  �in   pumps   and   cotton   stockings�察  �One   humble   lover   ´ 

OLIVER。 

    He was no peer by Fortune petted�察�His name recalled no bygone age�察�

He was no lordling coronetted ´ Alas� �he was a simple page� �

    With vain appeals he never bored her�察�But stood in silent sorrow by ´ 

He knew how fondly he adored her�察�And knew�察�alas� �how hopelessly� �

    Well grounded by a village tutor In languages alive and past�察�He'd say 

unto himself�察 �Knee´suitor�察�Oh�察�do not go beyond your last� ─�

    But though his name could boast no handle�察�He could not every hope 

resign�察  �As   moths   will   hover   round   a   candle�察  �So   hovered   he   about   her 

shrine。 

    The brilliant candle dazed the moth well�此�One day she sang to her Papa 

The    air  that  MARIE      sings   with  BOTHWELL          In  NEIDERMEYER'S 

opera。 

     ��Therein a stable boy�察�it's stated�察�Devoutly loved a noble dame�察�Who 

ardently reciprocated His rather injudicious flame。�� 

    And then�察�before the piano closing ��He listened coyly at the door���察�She 

sang a song of her composing ´ I give one verse from half a score�此�

       BALLAD 

    Why�察  �pretty   page�察  �art   ever   sighing�拭  �Is   sorrow   in   thy   heartlet   lying�拭�

Come�察  �set   a´ringing   Thy   laugh   entrancing�察  �And   ever   singing   And   ever 

dancing。 Ever singing�察�Tra� �la� �la� �Ever dancing�察�Tra� �la� �la� �Ever singing�察�

ever dancing�察�Ever singing�察�Tra� �la� �la� �

     He skipped for joy like little muttons�察�He danced like Esmeralda's kid。 

��She did not mean a boy in buttons�察�Although he fancied that she did。�� 

     Poor lad� �convinced he thus would win her�察�He wore out many pairs of 

soles�察�He danced when taking down the dinner ´ He danced when bringing 

up the coals。 

     He danced and sang ��however laden�� With his incessant ;Tra� �la� �la� ─�

Which much surprised the noble maiden�察�And puzzled even her Papa。 

     He   nourished   now  his   flame   and   fanned   it�察 �He   even danced   at   work 

below。 The upper servants wouldn't stand it�察�And BOWLES the butler told 

him so。 

     At length on impulse acting blindly�察�His love he laid completely bare�察�

The gentle Earl received him kindly And told the lad to take a chair。 

     ;Oh�察�sir�察─�the suitor uttered sadly�察 �Don't give your indignation vent�察�I 

fear you think I'm acting madly�察�Perhaps you think me insolent�拭─�

     The kindly Earl repelled the notion�察�His noble bosom heaved a sigh�察�

His fingers trembled with emotion�察�A tear stood in his mild blue eye�此�

     For�察�oh� �the scene recalled too plainly The half´forgotten time when he�察�

A boy of nine�察�had worshipped vainly A governess of forty´three� �

     ;My boy�察─�he said�察�in tone consoling�察 �Give up this idle fancy ´ do ´ 

The song you heard my daughter trolling Did not�察�indeed�察�refer to you。 

     ;I feel for you�察�poor boy�察�acutely�察�I would not wish to give you pain�察�

Your pangs I estimate minutely�察 � I�察�too�察�have loved�察�and loved in vain。 

     ;But   still   your   humble   rank   and   station   For   MINNIE   surely   are   not 

meet;   ´   He   said   much   more   in   conversation   Which   it   were   needless   to 

repeat。 

     Now I'm prepared to bet a guinea�察�Were this a mere dramatic case�察�The 

page would have eloped with MINNIE�察�But�察�no ´ he only left his place。 

     The simple Truth is my detective�察�With me Sensation can't abide�察�The 

Likely beats the mere Effective�察�And Nature is my only guide。
