'Which Of us two goes to the kettle��' arose�察�And we argued it out as sich。

     Ballad�此�The Bishop Of Rum´Ti´Foo 



    From east and south the holy clan Of Bishops gathered to a man�察�To 

Synod�察�called Pan´Anglican�察�In flocking crowds they came。 Among them 

was a Bishop�察�who Had lately been appointed to The balmy isle of Rum´ti´ 

Foo�察�And PETER was his name。 

    His people ´ twenty´three in sum ´ They played the eloquent tum´tum�察�

And lived on scalps served up�察�in rum ´ The only sauce they knew。 When 

first good BISHOP PETER  came ��For PETER  was that Bishop's   name���察�

To humour them�察�he did the same As they of Rum´ti´Foo。 

    His flock�察�I've often heard him tell�察。�His name was PETER�� loved him 

well�察�And�察�summoned by the sound of bell�察�In crowds together came。 ;Oh�察�

massa�察  �why   you   go   away�拭  �Oh�察  �MASSA  PETER�察  �please   to   stay。;   ��They 

called him PETER�察�people say�察�Because it was his name。�� 

    He told them all good boys to be�察�And sailed away across the sea�察�At 

London   Bridge   that   Bishop   he   Arrived   one   Tuesday   night�察  �And   as   that 

night   he   homeward   strode   To   his   Pan´Anglican   abode�察  �He   passed   along 

the Borough Road�察�And saw a gruesome sight。 

    He   saw   a   crowd   assembled   round A  person   dancing   on   the   ground�察�

Who straight began to leap and bound With all his might and main。 To see 

that   dancing   man   he   stopped�察  �Who   twirled   and   wriggled�察  �skipped   and 

hopped�察�Then down incontinently dropped�察�And then sprang up again。 

     The Bishop chuckled at the sight。 ;This style of dancing would delight 

A simple Rum´ti´Foozleite。 I'll learn it if I can�察�To please the tribe when I 

get back。; He begged the man to teach his knack。 ;Right Reverend Sir�察�in 

half a crack� �Replied that dancing man。 

     The dancing man he worked away�察�And taught the Bishop every day ´ 

The dancer skipped like any fay ´ Good PETER did the same。 The Bishop 

buckled to his task�察�With BATTEMENTS�察�and PAS DE BASQUE。 ��I'll tell 

you�察�if you care to ask�察�That PETER was his name。�� 

     ;Come�察�walk like this�察─�the dancer said�察 �Stick out your toes ´ stick in 

your head�察�Stalk on with quick�察�galvanic tread ´ Your fingers thus extend�察�

The attitude's considered quaint。; The weary Bishop�察�feeling faint�察�Replied�察�

;I do not say it ain't�察�But 'Time��' my Christian friend� ─�

     ;We   now   proceed   to   something   new   ´   Dance   as   the   PAYNES   and 

LAURIS do�察�Like this ´ one�察�two ´ one�察�two ´ one�察�two。; The Bishop�察�never 

proud�察  �But   in   an   overwhelming   heat   ��His   name   was   PETER�察  �I   repeat�� 

Performed the PAYNE and LAURI feat�察�And puffed his thanks aloud。 

     Another game the dancer planned ´ ;Just take your ankle in your hand�察�

And try�察  �my  lord�察�if   you   can stand ´ Your body  stiff and   stark。  If�察 �when 

revisiting   your   see�察�You   learnt   to   hop   on   shore   ´   like   me   ´   The   novelty 

would striking be�察�And must attract remark。; 

     ;No�察─�said the worthy Bishop�察 �no�察�That is a length to which�察�I trow�察�

Colonial Bishops cannot go。 You may express surprise At finding Bishops 

deal in pride ´ But if that trick I ever tried�察�I should appear undignified In 

Rum´ti´Foozle's eyes。 

     ;The     islanders    of   Rum´ti´Foo       Are   well´conducted       persons�察    �who 

Approve a joke as much as you�察�And laugh at it as such�察�But if they saw 

their Bishop land�察�His leg supported in his hand�察�The joke they wouldn't 

understand ´ 'T would pain them very much� ─�

pap    ´  ;My   friends�察 �it's  a  tap  Dat  is  not  worf  a  rap。;  ��Now    this  was
