     Oh� �little maid�  � ��I do not know your name Or who you are�察�so�察�as a 

safe precaution I'll add�� ´ Oh�察�buxom widow� �married dame� 。�As one of 

these must be your present portion�� Listen�察�while I unveil prophetic lore 

for you�察�And sing the fate that Fortune has in store for you。 

     You'll marry soon ´ within a year or twain ´ A bachelor of CIRCA two 

and    thirty�此 �Tall�察  �gentlemanly�察    �but   extremely    plain�察  �And    when    you're 

intimate�察  �you'll   call   him   ;BERTIE。;   Neat   ´   dresses   well�察  �his   temper   has 

been classified As hasty�察�but he's very quickly pacified。 

     You'll find him working mildly at the Bar�察�After a touch at two or three 

professions�察�From easy affluence extremely far�察�A brief or two on Circuit ´ 

;soup; at Sessions�察�A pound or two from whist and backing horses�察�And�察�

say three hundred from his own resources。 

     Quiet in harness�察�free from serious vice�察�His faults are not particularly 

shady�察�You'll never find him ;SHY; ´ for�察�once or twice Already�察�he's been 

driven by a lady�察�Who parts with him ´ perhaps a poor excuse for him ´ 

Because she hasn't any further use for him。 

     Oh�   �bride   of   mine   ´   tall�察  �dumpy�察  �dark�察  �or   fair�   �Oh�   �widow   ´   wife�察�

      Ballad�此�The Folly Of Brown ´ By A 

                            General Agent 



     I knew a boor ´ a clownish card ��His only friends were pigs and cows 

and    The    poultry   of  a  small   farmyard���察    �Who    came    into   two   hundred 

thousand。 

     Good fortune worked no change in BROWN�察�Though she's a mighty 

social    chymist�察   �He   was   a  clown    ´  and  by   a  clown    I  do  not  mean     a 

pantomimist。 

     It left him quiet�察�calm�察�and cool�察�Though hardly knowing what a crown 

was ´ You can't imagine what a fool Poor rich uneducated BROWN was� �

     He scouted all who wished to come And give him monetary schooling�察�

And I propose to give you some Idea of his insensate fooling。 

     I   formed   a   company  or   two   ´   ��Of   course   I   don't know   what   the   rest 

meant�察    �I  formed    them    solely   with   a  view    To   help   him   to  a   sound 

investment��。 

     Their    objects   were   ´  their  only   cares   ´  To  justify   their  Boards   in 

showing A  handsome   dividend   on   shares And   keep   their   good   promoter 

going。 

     But   no   ´   the   lout   sticks   to   his   brass�察  �Though   shares   at   par   I   freely 

proffer�此�Yet ´ will it be believed�拭 � the ass Declines�察�with thanks�察�my well´ 

meant offer� �

     He   adds�察  �with   bumpkin's   stolid   grin   ��A   weakly   intellect   denoting���察�

He'd rather not invest it in A company of my promoting� �

     ;You have two hundred 'thou' or more�察─�Said I。               ;You'll waste it�察�lose 

it�察�lend it�察�Come�察�take my furnished second floor�察�I'll gladly show you how 

to spend it。; 

     But   will   it   be   believed   that   he�察  �With   grin   upon   his   face   of   poppy�察�

Declined       my    aid�察  �while     thanking     me    For    what     he   called    my 

;philanthroppy;�拭�

     Some blind�察�suspicious fools rejoice In doubting friends who wouldn't 

harm   them�察  �They   will   not   hear   the   charmer's   voice�察  �However   wisely   he

may charm them� �

     I   showed   him   that   his   coat�察  �all   dust�察  �Top   boots   and   cords   provoked 

compassion�察�And proved that men of station must Conform to the decrees 

of fashion。 

     I showed him where to buy his hat To coat him�察�trouser him�察�and boot 

him�察�But no ´ he wouldn't hear of that ´ ;He didn't think the style would 

suit him� ─�

     I offered him a county seat�察�And made no end of an oration�察�I made it 

certainty complete�察�And introduced the deputation。 

     But no ´ the clown my prospect blights ´ ��The worth of birth it surely 

teaches�。� ;Why should I want to spend my nights In Parliament�察�a´making 

speeches�拭�

     ;I haven't never been to school ´ I ain't had not no eddication ´ And I 

should surely be a fool To publish that to all the nation� ─�

     I offered him a trotting horse ´ No hack had ever trotted faster ´ I also 

offered him�察�of course�察�A rare and curious ;old master。; 

     I offered to procure him weeds ´ Wines fit for one in his position ´ But�察�

though an ass in all his deeds�察�He'd learnt the meaning of ;commission。; 

     He called me ;thief; the other day�察�And daily from his door he thrusts 

me�察  �Much   more   of   this�察  �and   soon   I   may   Begin   to   think   that   BROWN 

mistrusts me。 

     So deaf to all sound Reason's rule This poor uneducated clown is�察�You 

canNOT fancy what a fool Poor rich uneducated BROWN is。

                         Ballad�此�Sir Macklin 



     Of all the youths I ever saw None were so wicked�察�vain�察�or silly�察�So 

lost to shame and Sabbath law�察�As worldly TOM�察�and BOB�察�and BILLY。 

     For    every    Sabbath     day    they   walked     ��Such     was    their   gay   and 

thoughtless natur�� In parks or gardens�察�where they talked From three to six�察�

or even later。 

     SIR MACKLIN was a priest severe In conduct and in conversation�察�It 

did a sinner good to hear Him deal in ratiocination。 

     He could in every action show Some sin�察�and nobody could doubt him。 

He argued high�察�he argued low�察�He also argued round about him。 

     He  wept   to   think   each   thoughtless   youth   Contained   of   wickedness   a 

skinful�察�And burnt to teach the awful truth�察�That walking out on Sunday's 

sinful。 

     ;Oh�察�youths�察─�said he�察 �I grieve to find The course of life you've been 

and hit on ´ Sit down�察─�said he�察 �and never mind The pennies for the chairs 

you sit on。 

     ;My     opening     head   is  'Kensington��'     How    walking     there   the  sinner 

hardens�察    �Which     when    I  have   enlarged     upon�察  �I  go   to  'Secondly'    ´  its 

'Gardens。' 

     ;My     'Thirdly'    comprehendeth        'Hyde��'    Of   Secresy     the  guilts   and 

shameses�察      �My    'Fourthly'    ´  'Park'   ´  its  verdure    wide    ´  My    'Fifthly' 

comprehends 'St。 James's。' 

     ;That   matter   settled�察 �I   shall   reach The   'Sixthly'   in   my  solemn   tether�察�

And show that what is true of each�察�Is also true of all�察�together。 

     ;Then      I  shall   demonstrate       to  you�察   �According      to   the   rules   of 

WHATELY�察         �That    what    is  true   of   all�察 �is  true  Of    each�察  �considered

flout   him�察  �He   argued   high�察  �he   argued   low�察  �He   also   argued   round   about 

him。 

     ;Ha�察  �ha� ─  �he   said�察   �you   loathe   your   ways�察  �You   writhe   at   these   my 

words of warning�察�In agony your hands you raise。; ��And so they did�察�for

     To ;Twenty´firstly; on they go�察�The lads do not attempt to scout him�察�

He argued high�察�he argued low�察�He also argued round about him。 

     ;Ho�察�ho� ─�he cries�察 �you bow your crests ´ My eloquence has set you 

weeping�察  �In   shame   you   bend   upon   your   breasts� ─  。�And   so   they   did�察  �for 

they were sleeping。�� 

     He proved them this ´ he proved them that ´ This good but wearisome 

ascetic�察�He jumped and thumped upon his hat�察�He was so very energetic。 

     His   Bishop    at  this  moment     chanced     To  pass�察  �and   found   the   road 

encumbered�察      �He    noticed   how    the   Churchman      danced�察   �And    how    his 

congregation slumbered。

;Oh�察�bosh� ─�the worthy Bishop said�察�And walked him off as in the picture。
