And when it was concluded�察�and the priest had said his say�察�Until the
time arrived when they were both to drive away�察 �They never spoke or
offered for to fondle or to fawn�察 �For HE waited in the attic�察 �and SHE
waited on the lawn。
At length�察 �when four o'clock arrived�察 �and it was time to go�察 �The
carriage was announced�察 �but decent SARAH answered ;No� �Upon my
word�察�I'd rather sleep my everlasting nap�察�Than go and ride alone with MR。
PETER in a trap。;
And PETER'S over´sensitive and highly´polished mind Wouldn't
suffer him to sanction a proceeding of the kind�察�And further�察�he declared
he suffered overwhelming shocks At the bare idea of having any
coachman on the box。
So PETER into one turn´out incontinently rushed�察�While SARAH in a
second trap sat modestly and blushed�察�And MR。 NEWMAN'S coachman�察�
on authority I've heard�察�Drove away in gallant style upon the coach´box of
a third。
Now�察 �though this modest couple in the matter of the car Were very
likely carrying a principle too far�察 �I hold their shy behaviour was more
laudable in them Than that of PETER'S brother with MISS SARAH'S
sister EM。
ALPHONSO�察�who in cool assurance all creation licks�察�He up and said
to EMMIE ��who had impudence for six���察 �MISS EMILY�察�I love you ´ will
you marry�拭 �Say the word� ─�And EMILY said�察 �Certainly�察�ALPHONSO�察�
like a bird� ─�
I do not recommend a newly´married pair to try To carry on as PETER
carried on with SARAH BLIGH�察�But still their shy behaviour was more
laudable in them Than that of PETER'S brother with MISS SARAH'S

Ballad�此 �The Martinet
Some time ago�察 �in simple verse I sang the story true Of CAPTAIN
REECE�察�the MANTELPIECE�察�And all her happy crew。
I showed how any captain may Attach his men to him�察�If he but heeds
their smallest needs�察�And studies every whim。
Now mark how�察 �by Draconic rule And HAUTEUR ill´advised�察 �The
noblest crew upon the Blue May be demoralized。
When his ungrateful country placed Kind REECE upon half´pay�察�
Without much claim SIR BERKELY came�察�And took command one day。
SIR BERKELY was a martinet ´ A stern unyielding soul ´ Who ruled
his ship by dint of whip And horrible black´hole。
A sailor who was overcome From having freely dined�察�And chanced to
reel when at the wheel�察�He instantly confined� �
And tars who�察�when an action raged�察�Appeared alarmed or scared�察�And
those below who wished to go�察�He very seldom spared。
E'en he who smote his officer For punishment was booked�察 �And
mutinies upon the seas He rarely overlooked。
In short�察 �the happy MANTELPIECE�察 �Where all had gone so well�察�
Beneath that fool SIR BERKELY'S rule Became a floating hell。
When first SIR BERKELY came aboard He read a speech to all�察�And
told them how he'd made a vow To act on duty's call。
Then WILLIAM LEE�察 �he up and said ��The Captain's coxswain he���察�
;We've heard the speech your honour's made�察�And werry pleased we be。
;We won't pretend�察 �my lad�察 �as how We're glad to lose our REECE�察�
Urbane�察�polite�察�he suited quite The saucy MANTELPIECE。
;But if your honour gives your mind To study all our ways�察 �With
dance and song we'll jog along As in those happy days。
;I like your honour's looks�察 �and feel You're worthy of your sword。
Your hand�察�my lad ´ I'm doosid glad To welcome you aboard� ─�
SIR BERKELY looked amazed�察 �as though He didn't understand。
;Don't shake your head�察─�good WILLIAM said�察 �It is an honest hand。
;It's grasped a better hand than yourn ´ Come�察�gov'nor�察�I insist� ─�The

Captain stared ´ the coxswain glared ´ The hand became a fist� �
;Down�察�upstart� ─�said the hardy salt�察�But BERKELY dodged his aim�察�
And made him go in chains below�此�The seamen murmured ;Shame� ─�
He stopped all songs at 12 p。m。�察�Stopped hornpipes when at sea�察�And
swore his cot ��or bunk�� should not Be used by aught than he。
He never joined their daily mess�察 �Nor asked them to his own�察 �But
chaffed in gay and social way The officers alone。
His First Lieutenant�察�PETER�察�was As useless as could be�察�A helpless
stick�察�and always sick When there was any sea。
This First Lieutenant proved to be His foster´sister MAY�察�Who went to
sea for love of he In masculine array。
And when he learnt the curious fact�察�Did he emotion show�察�Or dry her
tears or end her fears By marrying her�拭 �No� �
Or did he even try to soothe This maiden in her teens�拭 �Oh�察 �no� �
instead he made her wed The Sergeant of Marines� �
Of course such Spartan discipline Would make an angel fret�察 �They
drew a lot�察�and WILLIAM shot This fearful martinet。
The Admiralty saw how ill They'd treated CAPTAIN REECE�察�He was
restored once more aboard The saucy MANTELPIECE。

Ballad�此 �The Sailor Boy To His
Lass
I go away this blessed day�察 �To sail across the sea�察 �MATILDA� �My
vessel starts for various parts At twenty after three�察�MATILDA。 I hardly
know where we may go�察�Or if it's near or far�察�MATILDA�察�For CAPTAIN
HYDE does not confide In any 'fore´mast tar�察�MATILDA� �
Beneath my ban that mystic man Shall suffer�察�COUTE QUI COUTE�察�
MATILDA� �What right has he to keep from me The Admiralty route�察�
MATILDA�拭 �Because�察 �forsooth� �I am a youth Of common sailors' lot�察�
MATILDA� �Am I a man on human plan Designed�察 �or am I not�察�
MATILDA�拭�
But there�察 �my lass�察 �we'll let that pass� �With anxious love I burn�察�
MATILDA。 I want to know if we shall go To church when I return�察�
MATILDA�拭�Your eyes are red�察�you bow your head�察�It's pretty clear you
thirst�察�MATILDA�察�To name the day ´ What's that you say�拭 � ;You'll see me
further first�察─�MATILDA�拭�
I can't mistake the signs you make�察 �Although you barely speak�察�
MATILDA�察�Though pure and young�察�you thrust your tongue Right in your
pretty cheek�察�MATILDA� �My dear�察�I fear I hear you sneer ´ I do ´ I'm sure
I do�察�MATILDA� �With simple grace you make a face�察�Ejaculating�察 �Ugh� ─�
MATILDA。
Oh�察 �pause to think before you drink The dregs of Lethe's cup�察�
MATILDA� �Remember�察�do�察�what I've gone through�察�Before you give me
up�察 �MATILDA� �Recall again the mental pain Of what I've had to do�察�
MATILDA� �And be assured that I've endured It�察 �all along of you�察�
MATILDA� �
Do you forget�察 �my blithesome pet�察 �How once with jealous rage�察�
MATILDA�察�I watched you walk and gaily talk With some one thrice your
age�察�MATILDA�拭�You squatted free upon his knee�察�A sight that made me
sad�察 �MATILDA� �You pinched his cheek with friendly tweak�察 �Which
almost drove me mad�察�MATILDA� �

I knew him not�察 �but hoped to spot Some man you thought to wed�察�
MATILDA� �I took a gun�察�my darling one�察�And shot him through the head�察�
MATILDA� �I'm made of stuff that's rough and gruff Enough�察�I own�察�but�察�
ah�察 �MATILDA� �It DID annoy your sailor boy To find it was your pa�察�
MATILDA� �
I've passed a life of toil and strife�察 �And disappointments deep�察�
MATILDA�察 �I've lain awake with dental ache Until I fell asleep�察�
MATILDA� �At times again I've missed a train�察�Or p'rhaps run short of tin�察�
MATILDA�察�And worn a boot on corns that shoot�察�Or�察�shaving�察�cut my chin�察�
MATILDA。
But�察 �oh� �no trains ´ no dental pains ´ Believe me when I say�察�
MATILDA�察�No corns that shoot ´ no pinching boot Upon a summer day�察�
MATILDA ´ It's my belief�察�could cause such grief As that I've suffered for�察�
MATILDA�察�My having shot in vital spot Your old progenitor�察�MATILDA。
Bethink you how I've kept the vow I made one winter day�察�MATILDA
´ That�察�come what could�察�I never would Remain too long away�察�MATILDA。
And�察 �oh� �the crimes with which�察 �at times�察 �I've charged my gentle mind�察�
MATILDA�察�To keep the vow I made ´ and now You treat me so unkind�察�
MATILDA� �
For when at sea�察�off Caribbee�察�I felt my passion burn�察�MATILDA�察�By
passion egged�察�I went and begged The captain to return�察�MATILDA。 And
when�察 �my pet�察 �I couldn't get That captain to agree�察 �MATILDA�察 �Right
through a sort of open port I pitched him in the sea�察�MATILDA� �
Remember�察�too�察�how all the crew With indignation blind�察�MATILDA�察�
Distinctly swore they ne'er before Had thought me so unkind�察�MATILDA。
And how they'd shun me one by one ´ An unforgiving group�察�MATILDA ´
I stopped their howls and s
