couldn't help thinking the man had been drinking�察�And so I simply said�此�

I'll eat my hand if I understand However you can be

Sea�察�And there on a reef we come to grief�察�Which has often occurred to
me。

;For a month we'd neither wittles nor drink�察�Till a´hungry we did feel�察�
So we drawed a lot�察�and�察�accordin' shot The captain for our meal。
;The next lot fell to the NANCY'S mate�察�And a delicate dish he made�察�
Then our appetite with the midshipmite We seven survivors stayed。

gig。
;Then only the cook and me was left�察 �And the delicate question�察�
'Which Of us two goes to the kettle��' arose�察�And we argued it out as sich。
;For I loved that cook as a brother�察�I did�察�And the cook he worshipped
me�察�But we'd both be blowed if we'd either be stowed In the other chap's
hold�察�you see。
;'I'll be eat if you dines off me��' says TOM�察�'Yes�察�that��' says I�察�'you'll be�察�

tell�察�''T will soothing be if I let you see How extremely nice you'll smell。'

foaming froth�察�When I ups with his heels�察�and smothers his squeals In the
scum of the boiling broth。

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� ─�

THE AIR OF THE ;WHISTLING
OYSTER。;��
An elderly person ´ a prophet by trade ´ With his quips and tips On
withered old lips�察�He married a young and a beautiful maid�察�The cunning
old blade� �Though rather decayed�察�He married a beautiful�察�beautiful maid。
She was only eighteen�察 �and as fair as could be�察 �With her tempting
smiles And maidenly wiles�察�And he was a trifle past seventy´three�此�Now
what she could see Is a puzzle to me�察�In a prophet of seventy ´ seventy´
three� �
Of all their acquaintances bidden ��or bad�� With their loud high jinks
And underbred winks�察�None thought they'd a family have ´ but they had�察�A
dear little lad Who drove 'em half mad�察�For he turned out a horribly fast
little cad。
For when he was born he astonished all by�察�With their ;Law�察�dear me� ─�
;Did ever you see�拭─�He'd a pipe in his mouth and a glass in his eye�察�A hat
all awry ´ An octagon tie ´ And a miniature ´ miniature glass in his eye。
He grumbled at wearing a frock and a cap�察�With his ;Oh�察�dear�察�oh� ─�
And his ;Hang it� �'oo know� ─�And he turned up his nose at his excellent
pap ´ ;My friends�察 �it's a tap Dat is not worf a rap。; ��Now this was
remarkably excellent pap。��
He'd chuck his nurse under the chin�察�and he'd say�察�With his ;Fal�察�lal�察�
lal; ´ ;'Oo doosed fine gal� ─�This shocking precocity drove 'em away�此 �A
month from to´day Is as long as I'll stay ´ Then I'd wish�察�if you please�察�for
to toddle away。;
His father�察�a simple old gentleman�察�he With nursery rhyme And ;Once
on a time�察─�Would tell him the story of ;Little Bo´P�察─ �So pretty was she�察�
So pretty and wee�察�As pretty�察�as pretty�察�as pretty could be。;
But the babe�察�with a dig that would startle an ox�察�With his ;C'ck� �Oh�察�
my� � Go along wiz 'oo�察�fie� ─�Would exclaim�察 �I'm afraid 'oo a socking ole
fox。; Now a father it shocks�察�And it whitens his locks�察�When his little babe
calls him a shocking old fox。

The name of his father he'd couple and pair ��With his ill´bred laugh�察�
And insolent chaff�� With those of the nursery heroines rare ´ Virginia the
Fair�察�Or Good Goldenhair�察�Till the nuisance was more than a prophet could
bear。
;There's Jill and White Cat; ��said the bold little brat�察�With his loud�察�
