              Ballad�此            �Pasha Bailey Ben 



    A proud Pasha was BAILEY BEN�察�His wives were three�察�his tails were 

ten�察  �His   form   was    dignified�察 �but   stout�察 �Men    called   him   ;Little 

Roundabout。; 

    HIS IMPORTANCE 

    Pale Pilgrims came from o'er the sea To wait on PASHA BAILEY B。�察�

All bearing presents in a crowd�察�For B。 was poor as well as proud。 

    HIS PRESENTS 

    They brought him onions strung on ropes�察�And cold boiled beef�察�and 

telescopes�察�And   balls   of   string�察  �and   shrimps�察  �and   guns�察�And   chops�察  �and 

tacks�察�and hats�察�and buns。 

    MORE OF THEM 

    They brought him white kid gloves�察�and pails�察�And candlesticks�察�and 

potted quails�察�And   capstan´bars�察  �and scales   and   weights�察�And   ornaments 

for empty grates。 

    WHY I MENTION THESE 

    My   tale   is   not   of   these   ´   oh   no�   �I   only   mention   them   to   show   The 

divers gifts that divers men Brought o'er the sea to BAILEY BEN。 

    HIS CONFIDANT 

    A confidant had BAILEY B。�察�A gay Mongolian dog was he�察�I am not 

good at Turkish names�察�And so I call him SIMPLE JAMES。 

    HIS CONFIDANT'S COUNTENANCE 

    A dreadful legend you might trace In SIMPLE JAMES'S honest face�察�

For there you read�察�in Nature's print�察 �A Scoundrel of the Deepest Tint。; 

    HIS CHARACTER 

    A deed of blood�察�or fire�察�or   flames�察�Was   meat and drink to   SIMPLE 

JAMES�此�To hide his guilt he did not plan�察�But owned himself a bad young 

man。 

    THE AUTHOR TO HIS READER 

    And   why  on   earth   good   BAILEY  BEN  ��The   wisest�察 �noblest�察�best   of 

men��   Made   SIMPLE   JAMES   his   right´hand   man   Is   quite   beyond   my 

mental span。

    THE SAME�察�CONTINUED 

    But there ´ enough of gruesome deeds� �My heart�察�in thinking of them�察�

bleeds�察�And so let SIMPLE JAMES take wing�察 � 'Tis not of him I'm going 

to sing。 

    THE PASHA'S CLERK 

    Good   PASHA   BAILEY   kept   a   clerk   ��For   BAILEY   only   made   his 

mark���察  �His   name   was   MATTHEW  WYCOMBE   COO�察�A  man   of   nearly 

forty´two。 

    HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS 

    No person that I ever knew Could ;yodel; half as well as COO�察�And 

Highlanders exclaimed�察 �Eh�察�weel� ─�When COO began to dance a reel。 

    HIS KINDNESS TO THE PASHA'S WIVES 

    He   used   to   dance   and   sing   and   play   In   such   an   unaffected   way�察  �He 

cheered the unexciting lives Of PASHA BAILEY'S lovely wives。 

    THE AUTHOR TO HIS READER 

    But why should I encumber you With histories of MATTHEW COO�拭�

Let MATTHEW COO at once take wing�察 � 'Tis not of COO I'm going to 

sing。 

    THE AUTHOR'S MUSE 

    Let me recall my wandering Muse�察�She SHALL be steady if I choose ´ 

She roves�察�instead of helping me To tell the deeds of BAILEY B。 

    THE PASHA'S VISITOR 

    One morning knocked�察�at half´past eight�察�A tall Red Indian at his gate。 

In Turkey�察�as you're p'raps aware�察�Red Indians are extremely rare。 

    THE VISITOR'S OUTFIT 

    Mocassins decked his graceful legs�察�His eyes were black�察�and round as 

eggs�察  �And   on   his   neck�察 �instead   of   beads�察 �Hung   several  Catawampous 

seeds。 

    WHAT THE VISITOR SAID 

    ;Ho�察�ho� ─�he said�察 �thou pale´faced one�察�Poor offspring of an Eastern 

sun�察�You've NEVER seen the Red Man skip Upon the banks of Mississip� ─�

    THE AUTHOR'S MODERATION 

    To   say  that  BAILEY   oped     his  eyes  Would   feebly  paint  his  great 

surprise ´ To say it almost made him  die Would be to paint it much   too

high。 

     THE AUTHOR TO HIS READER 

    But   why   should   I   ransack   my   head   To   tell   you   all   that   Indian   said�察�

We'll let the Indian man take wing�察 � 'Tis not of him I'm going to sing。 

     THE READER TO THE AUTHOR 

     Come�察�come�察�I say�察�that's quite enough Of this absurd disjointed stuff�察�

Now let's get on to that affair About LIEUTENANT´COLONEL FLARE。 



                                           14

      Ballad�此               �Lieutenant´Colonel Flare 



     The earth has armies plenty�察�And semi´warlike bands�察�I dare say there 

are twenty In European lands�察�But�察�oh� �in no direction You'd find one to 

compare In brotherly affection With that of COLONEL FLARE。 

     His soldiers might be rated As military Pearls。 As unsophisticated As 

pretty little girls� �They never smoked or ratted�察�Or talked of Sues or Polls�察�

The Sergeant´Major tatted�察�The others nursed their dolls。 

     He spent his days in teaching These truly solemn facts�察�There's little 

use   in   preaching�察  �Or   circulating   tracts。   ��The   vainest   plan   invented   For 

stifling other creeds�察�Unless it's supplemented With charitable DEEDS。�� 

     He taught his soldiers kindly To give at Hunger's call�此 �Oh�察�better far 

give   blindly�察  �Than   never   give   at   all�   �Though   sympathy   be   kindled   By 

Imposition's game�察�Oh�察�better far be swindled Than smother up its flame� ─�

     His means were far from ample For pleasure or for dress�察�Yet note this 

bright example Of single´heartedness�此�Though ranking as a Colonel�察�His 

pay was but a groat�察�While their reward diurnal Was ´ each a five´pound 

note。 

     Moreover�察 � this evinces His kindness�察�you'll allow�察 � He fed them all 

like   princes�察  �And   lived   himself   on   cow。   He   set   them   all   regaling   On 

curious   wines�察  �and   dear�察  �While   he   would   sit   pale´ale´ing�察  �Or   quaffing 

ginger´beer。 

     Then at his instigation ��A pretty fancy this�� Their daily pay and ration 

He'd    take   in  change   for   his�察  �They   brought   it  to   him   weekly�察  �And   he 

without a groan�察�Would take it from them meekly And give them all his 

own� �

     Though not exactly knighted As knights�察�of course�察�should be�察�Yet no 

one   so   delighted   In   harmless   chivalry。   If   peasant   girl   or   ladye   Beneath 

misfortunes sank�察�Whate'er distinctions made he�察�They were not those of 

rank。 

     No   maiden   young   and   comely   Who   wanted   good   advice   ��However 

poor or homely�� Need ask him for it twice。 He'd wipe away the blindness 

That comes of teary dew�察�His sympathetic kindness No sort of limit knew。

    He always hated dealing With men who schemed or planned�察�A person 

harsh ´ unfeeling ´ The Colonel could not stand。 He hated cold�察�suspecting�察�

Official men in blue�察�Who pass their lives detecting The crimes that others 

do。 

    For    men    who'd   shoot   a  sparrow�察  �Or   immolate    a  worm   Beneath      a 

farmer's harrow�察�He could not find a term。 Humanely�察�ay�察�and knightly He 

dealt with such an one�察�He took and tied him tightly�察�And blew him from a 

gun。 

     The earth has armies plenty�察�And semi´warlike bands�察�I'm certain there 

are twenty In European lands�察�But�察�oh� �in no direction You'd find one to 

compare In brotherly affection With that of COLONEL FLARE。

                  Ballad�此               �Lost Mr。 Blake 



     MR。   BLAKE   was   a   regular   out´and´out   hardened   sinner�察  �Who   was 

quite out of the pale of Christianity�察�so to speak�察�He was in the habit of 

smoking a long pipe and drinking a glass of grog on a Sunday after dinner�察�

And   seldom   thought   of   going   to   church   more   than   twice   or   ´   if   Good 

Friday or Christmas Day happened to come in it ´ three times a week。 

     He was quite indifferent as to the particular kinds of dresses That the 

clergyman wore at church where he used to go to pray�察�And whatever he 

did in the way of relieving a chap's distresses�察�He always did in a nasty�察�

sneaking�察�underhanded�察�hole´and´ corner sort of way。 

     I have known him indulge in profane�察�ungentlemanly emphatics�察�When 

the Protestant Church has been divided on the subject of the proper width 

of a chasuble's hem�察�I have even known him to sneer at albs ´ and as for 

dalmatics�察�Words   can't   convey  an   idea of   the   contempt   he   expressed   for 

THEM。 

     He didn't believe in   persons who�察�not being   well off themselves�察 �are 

obliged   to   confine   their   charitable   exertions   to   collecting   money   from 

wealthier   people�察  �And   looked   upon       individuals   of   the   former   class   as 

ecclesiastical   hawks�察  �He   used   to   say   that   he   would   no   more   think   of 

interfering with his priest's robes than with his church or his steeple�察�And 

that he did not consider his soul imperilled because somebody over whom 

he    had   no   influence     whatever�察    �chose   to   dress   himself    up   like   an 

exaggerated GUY FAWKES。 

     This   shocking   old   vagabond   was   so   unutterably   shameless   That   he 

actually went a´courting a very respectable and pious middle´aged sister�察�

by the name of BIGGS。 She was a rather attractive widow�察�whose life as 

such   had   always   been   particularly   blameless�察  �Her   first   husband   had   left 

her    a   secure    but   moderate     competence�察      �owing     to  some     fortunate 

speculations in the matter of figs。 

     She was an excellent person in every way ´ and won the respect even 

of   MRS。   GRUNDY�察 �She   was   a   good housewife�察  �too�察 �and   wouldn't   have 

wasted a penny if she had owned the Koh´i´noor。 She was just as strict as
