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

    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�

    MADEMOISELLE DE LA SAUCE MAYONNAISE Was a witty and

    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

                                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

                    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

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

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。
