Common the following night�察�Then lay on their oars for a fortnight or two�察�
Becalmed in the ocean of Honololu。
One day ALUM saw�察�with alarm in his breast�察�A cloud on the nor´sow´
sow´nor´sow´nor´west�察�The wind it arose�察�and the crew gave a scream�察�For
they knew it ´ they knew it� � the dreaded Hareem�。 �
The mast it went over�察�and so did the sails�察�Brave ALUM threw over
his casks and his bales�察�The billows arose as the weather grew thick�察�And
all except ALUM were terribly sick。
The crew were but three�察�but they holloa'd for nine�察�They howled and
they blubbered with wail and with whine�此�The skipper he fainted away in
the fore�察�For he hadn't the heart for to skip any more。

;Ho�察�coward� ─�said ALUM�察 �with heart of a child� �Thou son of a party
whose grave is defiled� �Is ALUM in terror�拭�is ALUM afeard�拭�Ho� �ho� �If
you had one I'd laugh at your beard。;
His eyeball it gleamed like a furnace of coke�察�He boldly inflated his
clothes as he spoke�察 �He daringly felt for the corks on his chest�察�And he
recklessly tightened the belt at his breast。
For he knew�察 �the brave ALUM�察 �that�察 �happen what might�察�With belts
and cork´jacketing�察 �HE was all right�察�Though others might sink�察�he was
certain to swim�察 � No Hareem whatever had terrors for him� �
They begged him to spare from his personal store A single cork
garment ´ they asked for no more�察�But he couldn't�察�because of the number
of oaths That he never ´ no�察�never� � would take off his clothes。
The billows dash o'er them and topple around�察�They see they are pretty
near sure to be drowned。 A terrible wave o'er the quarter´deck breaks�察�And
the vessel it sinks in a couple of shakes� �
The dreadful Hareem�察 �though it knows how to blow�察 �Expends all its
strength in a minute or so�察 �When the vessel had foundered�察 �as I have
detailed�察�The tempest subsided�察�and quiet prevailed。
One seized on a cork with a yelling ;Ha� �ha� ─。�Its bottle had 'prisoned
a pint of Pacha�� ´ Another a toothpick ´ another a tray ´ ;Alas� �it is
useless� ─�said brave ALUM BEY。
;To holloa and kick is a very bad plan�此�Get it over�察�my tulips�察�as soon
as you can�察�You'd better lay hold of a good lump of lead�察�And cling to it
tightly until you are dead。
;Just raise your hands over your pretty heads ´ so ´ Right down to the
bottom you're certain to go。 Ta� �ta� �I'm afraid we shall not meet again; ´
For the truly courageous are truly humane。
Brave ALUM was picked up the very next day ´ A man´o'´war sighted
him smoking away�察�With hunger and cold he was ready to drop�察�So they
sent him below and they gave him a chop。
O reader�察�or readress�察�whichever you be�察�You weep for the crew who
have sunk in the sea�拭 �O reader�察 �or readress�察 �read farther�察 �and dry The
bright sympathetic ka´bob in your eye。
That ship had a grapple with three iron spikes�察 � It's lowered�察�and�察�ha� �

There was WILSON�察 �and PARKER�察 �and TOMLINSON�察 �too ´ ��The
first was the captain�察�the others the crew�� ´ As lively and spry as a Malabar

And ALUM�察�brave fellow�察�who stood in the fore�察�And never expected

Ballad�此 �The Modest Couple
When man and maiden meet�察 �I like to see a drooping eye�察 �I always
droop my own ´ I am the shyest of the shy。 I'm also fond of bashfulness�察�
and sitting down on thorns�察 �For modesty's a quality that womankind
adorns。
Whenever I am introduced to any pretty maid�察�My knees they knock
together�察 �just as if I were afraid�察 �I flutter�察 �and I stammer�察 �and I turn a
pleasing red�察�For to laugh�察�and flirt�察�and ogle I consider most ill´bred。
But still in all these matters�察�as in other things below�察�There is a proper
medium�察�as I'm about to show。 I do not recommend a newly´married pair
to try To carry on as PETER carried on with SARAH BLIGH。
Betrothed they were when very young ´ before they'd learnt to speak
��For SARAH was but six days old�察�and PETER was a week���察�Though little
more than babies at those early ages�察�yet They bashfully would faint when
they occasionally met。
They blushed�察 �and flushed�察 �and fainted�察 �till they reached the age of
nine�察 �When PETER'S good papa ��he was a Baron of the Rhine��
Determined to endeavour some sound argument to find To bring these shy
young people to a proper frame of mind。
He told them that as SARAH was to be his PETER'S bride�察 �They
might at least consent to sit at table side by side�察 �He begged that they
would now and then shake hands�察 �till he was hoarse�察 �Which SARAH
thought indelicate�察�and PETER very coarse。
And PETER in a tremble to the blushing maid would say�察 �You must
excuse papa�察�MISS BLIGH�察 � it is his mountain way。; Says SARAH�察 �His
behaviour I'll endeavour to forget�察�But your papa's the coarsest person that
I ever met。
;He plighted us without our leave�察�when we were very young�察�Before
we had begun articulating with the tongue。 His underbred suggestions fill
your SARAH with alarm�察�Why�察�gracious me� �he'll ask us next to walk out
arm´in´arm� ─�
At length when SARAH reached the legal age of twenty´one�察 �The
42
´ Page 43´
The Bab Ballads
Baron he determined to unite her to his son�察�And SARAH in a fainting´fit
for weeks unconscious lay�察�And PETER blushed so hard you might have
heard him miles away。
And when the time arrived for taking SARAH to his heart�察�They were
married in two churches half´a´dozen miles apart ��Intending to escape all
public ridicule and chaff���察 �And the service was conducted by electric
telegraph。
