Ballad�此�Lorenzo De Lardy
DALILAH DE DARDY adored The very correctest of cards�察�
LORENZO DE LARDY�察�a lord ´ He was one of Her Majesty's Guards。
DALILAH DE DARDY was fat�察 �DALILAH DE DARDY was old ´
��No doubt in the world about that�� But DALILAH DE DARDY had gold。
LORENZO DE LARDY was tall�察�The flower of maidenly pets�察�Young
ladies would love at his call�察�But LORENZO DE LARDY had debts。
His money´position was queer�察�And one of his favourite freaks Was to
hide himself three times a year�察�In Paris�察�for several weeks。
Many days didn't pass him before He fanned himself into a flame�察�For
a beautiful ;DAM DU COMPTWORE�察─�And this was her singular name�此�
ALICE EULALIE CORALINE EUPHROSINE COLOMBINA
THERESE JULIETTE STEPHANIE CELESTINE CHARLOTTE RUSSE
DE LA SAUCE MAYONNAISE。
She booked all the orders and tin�察�Accoutred in showy fal´lal�察�At a
two´fifty Restaurant�察�in The glittering Palais Royal。
He'd gaze in her orbit of blue�察�Her hand he would tenderly squeeze�察�
But the words of her tongue that he knew Were limited strictly to these�此�
;CORALINE CELESTINE EULALIE�察�Houp le� �Je vous aime�察�oui�察�
mossoo�察�Combien donnez moi aujourd'hui Bonjour�察�Mademoiselle�察�parlez
voo。;
MADEMOISELLE DE LA SAUCE MAYONNAISE Was a witty and
beautiful miss�察�Extremely correct in her ways�察�But her English consisted
of this�此�
;Oh my� �pretty man�察�if you please�察�Blom boodin�察�biftek�察�currie lamb�察�
Bouldogue�察 �two franc half�察 �quite ze cheese�察 �Rosbif�察 �me spik Angleesh�察�
godam。;
A waiter�察 �for seasons before�察 �Had basked in her beautiful gaze�察�And
burnt to dismember MILOR�察 �HE LOVED DE LA SAUCE
MAYONNAISE。
He said to her�察 �Mechante THERESE�察�Avec desespoir tu m'accables。
Penses´tu�察 �DE LA SAUCE MAYONNAISE�察 �Ses intentions sont

;Flirtez toujours�察�ma belle�察�si tu oses ´ Je me vengerai ainsi�察�ma chere�察�
JE LUI DIRAI DE QUOI L'ON COMPOSE VOL AU VENT E LA
FINANCIERE� ─�
LORD LARDY knew nothing of this ´ The waiter's devotion ignored�察�
But he gazed on the beautiful miss�察�And never seemed weary or bored。
The waiter would screw up his nerve�察�His fingers he'd snap and he'd
dance ´ And LORD LARDY would smile and observe�察 �How strange are
the customs of France� ─�
Well�察 �after delaying a space�察 �His tradesmen no longer would wait�此�
Returning to England apace�察�He yielded himself to his fate。
LORD LARDY espoused�察�with a groan�察�MISS DARDY'S developing
charms�察�And agreed to tag on to his own�察�Her name and her newly´found
arms。
The waiter he knelt at the toes Of an ugly and thin coryphee�察 �Who
danced in the hindermost rows At the Theatre des Varietes。
MADEMOISELLE DE LA SAUCE MAYONNAISE Didn't yield to a
gnawing despair But married a soldier�察 �and plays As a pretty and pert
Vivandiere。

Ballad�此�Disillusioned ´ By An Ex´
Enthusiast
Oh�察�that my soul its gods could see As years ago they seemed to me
When first I painted them�察 �Invested with the circumstance Of old
conventional romance�此�Exploded theorem� �
The bard who could�察 �all men above�察 �Inflame my soul with songs of
love�察�And�察�with his verse�察�inspire The craven soul who feared to die With
all the glow of chivalry And old heroic fire�察�
I found him in a beerhouse tap Awaking from a gin´born nap�察 �With
pipe and sloven dress�察�Amusing chums�察�who fooled his bent�察�With muddy�察�
maudlin sentiment�察�And tipsy foolishness� �
The novelist�察�whose painting pen To legions of fictitious men A real
existence lends�察�Brain´people whom we rarely fail�察�Whene'er we hear their
names�察�to hail As old and welcome friends�察�
I found in clumsy snuffy suit�察 �In seedy glove�察 �and blucher boot�察�
Uncomfortably big。 Particularly commonplace�察 �With vulgar�察 �coarse�察�
stockbroking face�察�And spectacles and wig。
My favourite actor who�察�at will�察�With mimic woe my eyes could fill
With unaccustomed brine�此�A being who appeared to me ��Before I knew
him well�� to be A song incarnadine�察�
I found a coarse unpleasant man With speckled chin ´ unhealthy�察�wan ´
Of self´importance full�此�Existing in an atmosphere That reeked of gin and
pipes and beer ´ Conceited�察�fractious�察�dull。
The warrior whose ennobled name Is woven with his country's fame�察�
Triumphant over all�察 �I found weak�察 �palsied�察 �bloated�察�blear�察 �His province
seemed to be�察�to leer At bonnets in Pall Mall。
Would that ye always shone�察 �who write�察 �Bathed in your own innate
limelight�察�And ye who battles wage�察�Or that in darkness I had died Before
my soul had ever sighed To see you off the stage� �

Ballad�此�Babette's Love
BABETTE she was a fisher gal�察�With jupon striped and cap in crimps。
She passed her days inside the Halle�察 �Or catching little nimble shrimps。
Yet she was sweet as flowers in May�察�With no professional bouquet。
JACOT was�察 �of the Customs bold�察�An officer�察 �at gay Boulogne�察 �He
loved BABETTE ´ his love he told�察 �And sighed�察 �Oh�察 �soyez vous my
own� ─�But ;Non� ─�said she�察 �JACOT�察�my pet�察�Vous etes trop scraggy pour
BABETTE。
;Of one alone I nightly dream�察�An able mariner is he�察�And gaily serves
the Gen'ral Steam´ Boat Navigation Companee。 I'll marry him�察�if he but
will ´ His name�察�I rather think�察�is BILL。
;I see him when he's not aware�察�Upon our hospitable coast�察�Reclining
with an easy air Upon the PORT against a post�察�A´thinking of�察�I'll dare to
say�察�His native Chelsea far away� ─�
;Oh�察�mon� ─�exclaimed the Customs bold�察 �Mes yeux� ─�he said ��which
means ;my eye;�� ;Oh�察�chere� ─�he also cried�察�I'm told�察 �Par Jove�察─�he added�察�
with a sigh。 ;Oh�察�mon� �oh�察�chere� �mes yeux� �par Jove� �Je n'aime pas cet
enticing cove� ─�
The PANTHER'S captain stood hard by�察�He was a man of morals strict
If e'er a sailor winked his eye�察�Straightway he had that sailor licked�察�Mast´
headed all ��such was his code�� Who dashed or jiggered�察�blessed or blowed。
He wept to think a tar of his Should lean so gracefully on posts�察�He
sighed and sobbed to think of this�察�On foreign�察�French�察�and friendly coasts。
;It's human natur'�察�p'raps ´ if so�察�Oh�察�isn't human natur' low� ─�
He called his BILL�察 �who pulled his curl�察 �He said�察 �My BILL�察 �I
understand You've captivated some young gurl On this here French and
foreign land。 Her tender heart your beauties jog ´ They do�察�you know they
do�察�you dog。
;You have a graceful way�察�I learn�察�Of leaning airily on posts�察�By which
you've been and caused to burn A tender flame on these here coasts。 A
fisher gurl�察�I much regret�察 � Her age�察�sixteen ´ her name�察�BABETTE。
;You'll marry her�察�you gentle tar ´ Your union I myself will bless�察�And
25

The Bab Ballads
when you matrimonied are�察�I will appoint her stewardess。; But WILLIAM
hitched himself and sighed�察�And cleared his throat�察�and thus replied�此�
;Not so�此 �unless you're fond of strife�察 �You'd better mind your own
affairs�察�I have an able´bodied wife Awaiting me at Wapping Stairs�察�If all
this here to her I tell�察�She'll larrup you and me as well。
;Skin´deep�察 �and valued at a pin�察 �Is beauty such as VENUS owns ´
HER beauty is beneath her skin�察�And lies in layers on her bones。 The other
sailors of the crew They always calls her 'Whopping Sue��';
;Oho� ─ �the Captain said�察 �I see� �And is she then so very strong�拭─�
;She'd take your honour's scruff�察─�said he ;And pitch you over to Bolong� ─�
;I pardon you�察─�the Captain said�察 �The fair BABETTE you needn't wed。;
Perhaps the Customs had his will�察�And coaxed the scornful girl to wed�察�
Perhaps the Captain and his BILL�察�And WILLIAM'S little wife are dead�察�
Or p'raps they're all alive and well�此�I cannot�察�cannot�察�cannot tell。
