The story of FREDERICK GOWLER�察 �A mariner of the sea�察 �Who
quitted his ship�察�the HOWLER�察�A´sailing in Caribbee。 For many a day he
wandered�察 �Till he met in a state of rum CALAMITY POP VON
PEPPERMINT DROP�察�The King of Canoodle´Dum。
That monarch addressed him gaily�察 �Hum� �Golly de do to´day�拭�Hum� �
Lily´white Buckra Sailee; ´ ��You notice his playful way�殖� ´ ;What dickens
you doin' here�察�sar�拭�Why debbil you want to come�拭 �Hum� �Picaninnee�察�
dere isn't no sea In City Canoodle´Dum� ─�
And GOWLER he answered sadly�察 �Oh�察 �mine is a doleful tale� �
They've treated me werry badly In Lunnon�察�from where I hail。 I'm one of
the Family Royal ´ No common Jack Tar you see�察 �I'm WILLIAM THE
FOURTH�察�far up in the North�察�A King in my own countree� ─�
Bang´bang� �How the tom´toms thundered� �Bang´bang� �How they
thumped this gongs� �Bang´bang� �How the people wondered� �Bang´bang� �
At it hammer and tongs� �Alliance with Kings of Europe Is an honour
Canoodlers seek�察 �Her monarchs don't stop with PEPPERMINT DROP
Every day in the week� �
FRED told them that he was undone�察�For his people all went insane�察�
And fired the Tower of London�察�And Grinnidge's Naval Fane。 And some
of them racked St。 James's�察�And vented their rage upon The Church of St。
Paul�察�the Fishmongers' Hall�察�And the Angel at Islington。
CALAMITY POP implored him In his capital to remain Till those
people of his restored him To power and rank again。 CALAMITY POP he
made him A Prince of Canoodle´Dum�察 �With a couple of caves�察 �some
beautiful slaves�察�And the run of the royal rum。
Pop gave him his only daughter�察 �HUM PICKETY WIMPLE TIP�此�
FRED vowed that if over the water He went�察 �in an English ship�察 �He'd
make her his Queen�察 � though truly It is an unusual thing For a Caribbee
brat who's as black as your hat To be wife of an English King。

And all the Canoodle´Dummers They copied his rolling walk�察 �His
method of draining rummers�察�His emblematical talk。 For his dress and his
graceful breeding�察 �His delicate taste in rum�察�And his nautical way�察 �were
the talk of the day In the Court of Canoodle´Dum。
CALAMITY POP most wisely Determined in everything To model his
Court precisely On that of the English King�察�And ordered that every lady
And every lady's lord Should masticate jacky ��a kind of tobaccy���察�And
scatter its juice abroad。
They signified wonder roundly At any astounding yarn�察 �By darning
their dear eyes roundly ��'T was all they had to darn��。 They ;hoisted their
slacks�察─�adjusting Garments of plantain´leaves With nautical twitches ��as
if they wore breeches�察�Instead of a dress like EVE'S�。�
They shivered their timbers proudly�察�At a phantom forelock dragged�察�
And called for a hornpipe loudly Whenever amusement flagged。 ;Hum� �
Golly� �him POP resemble�察 �Him Britisher sov'reign�察 �hum� �CALAMITY
POP VON PEPPERMINT DROP�察�De King of Canoodle´Dum� ─�
The mariner's lively ;Hollo� ─ �Enlivened Canoodle's plain ��For
blessings unnumbered follow In Civilization's train��。 But Fortune�察 �who
loves a bathos�察 �A terrible ending planned�察 �For ADMIRAL D。
CHICKABIDDY�察�C。B。�察�Placed foot on Canoodle land� �
That rebel�察�he seized KING GOWLER�察�He threatened his royal brains�察�
And put him aboard the HOWLER�察�And fastened him down with chains。
The HOWLER she weighed her anchor�察�With FREDERICK nicely nailed�察�
And off to the North with WILLIAM THE FOURTH These horrible
pirates sailed。
CALAMITY said ��with folly���察 �Hum� �nebber want him again ´ Him
civilize all of us�察 �golly� �CALAMITY suck him brain� ─ �The people�察�
however�察�were pained when They saw him aboard his ship�察�But none of
them wept for their FREDDY�察�except HUM PICKETY WIMPLE TIP。

Ballad�此 �First Love
A clergyman in Berkshire dwelt�察 �The REVEREND BERNARD
POWLES�察�And in his church there weekly knelt At least a hundred souls。
There little ELLEN you might see�察 �The modest rustic belle�察 �In
maidenly simplicity�察�She loved her BERNARD well。
Though ELLEN wore a plain silk gown Untrimmed with lace or fur�察�
Yet not a husband in the town But wished his wife like her。
Though sterner memories might fade�察 �You never could forget The
child´form of that baby´maid�察�The Village Violet� �
A simple frightened loveliness�察 �Whose sacred spirit´part Shrank
timidly from worldly stress�察�And nestled in your heart。
POWLES woo'd with every well´worn plan And all the usual wiles
With which a well´schooled gentleman A simple heart beguiles。
The hackneyed compliments that bore World´folks like you and me�察�
Appeared to her as if they wore The crown of Poesy。
His winking eyelid sang a song Her heart could understand�察�Eternity
seemed scarce too long When BERNARD squeezed her hand。
He ordered down the martial crew Of GODFREY'S Grenadiers�察�And
COOTE conspired with TINNEY to Ecstaticise her ears。
Beneath her window�察�veiled from eye�察�They nightly took their stand�察�
On birthdays supplemented by The Covent Garden band。
And little ELLEN�察�all alone�察�Enraptured sat above�察�And thought how
blest she was to own The wealth of POWLES'S love。
I often�察�often wonder what Poor ELLEN saw in him�察�For calculated he
was NOT To please a woman's whim。
He wasn't good�察�despite the air An M。B。 waistcoat gives�察�Indeed�察�his
dearest friends declare No greater humbug lives。
No kind of virtue decked this priest�察�He'd nothing to allure�察�He wasn't
handsome in the least�察 � He wasn't even poor。
No ´ he was cursed with acres fat ��A Christian's direst ban���察�And gold ´
yet�察�notwithstanding that�察�Poor ELLEN loved the man。
As unlike BERNARD as could be Was poor old AARON WOOD

��Disgraceful BERNARD'S curate he���此�He was extremely good。
A BAYARD in his moral pluck Without reproach or fear�察 �A quiet
venerable duck With fifty pounds a year。
No fault had he ´ no fad�察�except A tendency to strum�察�In mode at which
you would have wept�察�A dull harmonium。
He had no gold with which to hire The minstrels who could best
Convey a notion of the fire That raged within his breast。
And so�察�when COOTE and TINNEY'S Own Had tootled all they knew�察�
And when the Guards�察�completely blown�察�Exhaustedly withdrew�察�
And NELL began to sleepy feel�察�Poor AARON then would come�察�And
underneath her window wheel His plain harmonium。
He woke her every morn at two�察�And having gained her ear�察�In vivid
colours AARON drew The sluggard's grim career。
He warbled Apiarian praise�察�And taught her in his chant To shun the
dog's pugnacious ways�察�And imitate the ant。
Still NELL seemed not�察�how much he played�察�To love him out and out�察�
Although the admirable maid Respected him�察�no doubt。
She told him of her early vow�察�And said as BERNARD'S wife It might
be hers to show him how To rectify his life。
;You are so pure�察 �so kind�察 �so true�察 �Your goodness shines so bright�察�
What use would ELLEN be to you�拭�Believe me�察�you're all right。;
She wished him happiness and health�察�And flew on lightning wings To
BERNARD with his dangerous wealth And all the woes it brings。

Ballad�此 �Brave Alum Bey
Oh�察�big was the bosom of brave ALUM BEY�察�And also the region that
under it lay�察 �In safety and peril remarkably cool�察 �And he dwelt on the
banks of the river Stamboul。
Each morning he went to his garden�察�to cull A bunch of zenana or sprig
of bul´bul�察 �And offered the bouquet�察 �in exquisite bloom�察 �To
BACKSHEESH�察�the daughter of RAHAT LAKOUM。
No maiden like BACKSHEESH could tastily cook A kettle of kismet
or joint of tchibouk�察�As ALUM�察 �brave fellow� �sat pensively by�察 �With a
bright sympathetic ka´bob in his eye。
Stern duty compelled him to leave her one day ´ ��A ship's supercargo
was brave ALUM BEY�� ´ To pretty young BACKSHEESH he made a
salaam�察�And sailed to the isle of Seringapatam。
;O ALUM�察─ �said she�察 �think again�察 �ere you go ´ Hareems may arise
and Moguls they may blow�察 �You may strike on a fez�察 �or be drowned�察�
which is wuss� ─�But ALUM embraced her and spoke to her thus�此�
;Cease weeping�察 �fair BACKSHEESH� �I willingly swear Cork
jackets and trousers I always will wear�察�And I also throw in a large number
of oaths That I never ´ no�察�NEVER ´ will take off my clothes� ─�
* * * * *
They left Madagascar away on their right�察 �And made Clapham
Common the following night�察�Then lay on their oars for a fortnight or two�察�
Becalmed in the ocean of Honololu。
One day
