Ballad�此�The Troubadour
A TROUBADOUR he played Without a castle wall�察�Within�察�a hapless
maid Responded to his call。
;Oh�察�willow�察�woe is me� �Alack and well´a´day� �If I were only free I'd
hie me far away� ─�
Unknown her face and name�察 �But this he knew right well�察 �The
maiden's wailing came From out a dungeon cell。
A hapless woman lay Within that dungeon grim ´ That fact�察�I've heard
him say�察�Was quite enough for him。
;I will not sit or lie�察�Or eat or drink�察�I vow�察�Till thou art free as I�察�Or I
as pent as thou。;
Her tears then ceased to flow�察�Her wails no longer rang�察�And tuneful in
her woe The prisoned maiden sang�此�
;Oh�察�stranger�察�as you play�察�I recognize your touch�察�And all that I can
say Is�察�thank you very much。;
He seized his clarion straight�察�And blew thereat�察�until A warden oped
the gate。 ;Oh�察�what might be your will�拭─�
;I've come�察 �Sir Knave�察 �to see The master of these halls�此 �A maid
unwillingly Lies prisoned in their walls。;'
With barely stifled sigh That porter drooped his head�察�With teardrops
in his eye�察 �A many�察�sir�察─�he said。
He stayed to hear no more�察 �But pushed that porter by�察 �And shortly
stood before SIR HUGH DE PECKHAM RYE。
SIR HUGH he darkly frowned�察 �What would you�察�sir�察�with me�拭─�The
troubadour he downed Upon his bended knee。
;I've come�察�DE PECKHAM RYE�察�To do a Christian task�察�You ask me
what would I�拭�It is not much I ask。
;Release these maidens�察 �sir�察 �Whom you dominion o'er ´ Particularly
her Upon the second floor。
;And if you don't�察�my lord; ´ He here stood bolt upright�察�And tapped a
tailor's sword ´ ;Come out�察�you cad�察�and fight� ─�
SIR HUGH he called ´ and ran The warden from the gate�此 �Go�察�show

this gentleman The maid in Forty´eight。;
By many a cell they past�察�And stopped at length before A portal�察�bolted
fast�此�The man unlocked the door。
He called inside the gate With coarse and brutal shout�察 �Come�察�step it�察�
Forty´eight� ─�And Forty´eight stepped out。
;They gets it pretty hot�察�The maidens what we cotch ´ Two years this
lady's got For collaring a wotch。;
;Oh�察�ah� � indeed ´ I see�察─�The troubadour exclaimed ´ ;If I may make
so free�察�How is this castle named�拭�
The warden's eyelids fill�察 �And sighing�察 �he replied�察 �Of gloomy
Pentonville This is the female side� ─�
The minstrel did not wait The Warden stout to thank�察�But recollected
straight He'd business at the Bank。

Ballad�此�Ferdinando And Elvira�察�Or�察�
The Gentle Pieman
PART I。
At a pleasant evening party I had taken down to supper One whom I
will call ELVIRA�察�and we talked of love and TUPPER�察�
MR。 TUPPER and the Poets�察�very lightly with them dealing�察�For I've
always been distinguished for a strong poetic feeling。
Then we let off paper crackers�察�each of which contained a motto�察�And
she listened while I read them�察�till her mother told her not to。
Then she whispered�察 �To the ball´room we had better�察�dear�察�be walking�察�
If we stop down here much longer�察�really people will be talking。;
There were noblemen in coronets�察 �and military cousins�察 �There were
captains by the hundred�察�there were baronets by dozens。
Yet she heeded not their offers�察 �but dismissed them with a blessing�察�
Then she let down all her back hair�察�which had taken long in dressing。
Then she had convulsive sobbings in her agitated throttle�察 �Then she
wiped her pretty eyes and smelt her pretty smelling´ bottle。
So I whispered�察 �Dear ELVIRA�察�say�察 � what can the matter be with
you�拭�Does anything you've eaten�察�darling POPSY�察�disagree with you�拭─�
But spite of all I said�察�her sobs grew more and more distressing�察�And
she tore her pretty back hair�察�which had taken long in dressing。
Then she gazed upon the carpet�察�at the ceiling�察�then above me�察�And she
whispered�察 �FERDINANDO�察�do you really�察�REALLY love me�拭─�
;Love you�拭─�said I�察�then I sighed�察�and then I gazed upon her sweetly ´
For I think I do this sort of thing particularly neatly。
;Send me to the Arctic regions�察 �or illimitable azure�察 �On a scientific
goose´chase�察�with my COXWELL or my GLAISHER� �
;Tell me whither I may hie me ´ tell me�察�dear one�察�that I may know ´ Is
it up the highest Andes�拭�down a horrible volcano�拭─�

But she said�察 �It isn't polar bears�察�or hot volcanic grottoes�此�Only find
out who it is that writes those lovely cracker mottoes� ─�
PART II。
;Tell me�察 �HENRY WADSWORTH�察 �ALFRED POET CLOSE�察 �or
MISTER TUPPER�察�Do you write the bon bon mottoes my ELVIRA pulls
at supper�拭─�
But HENRY WADSWORTH smiled�察 �and said he had not had that
honour�察�And ALFRED�察�too�察�disclaimed the words that told so much upon
her。
;MISTER MARTIN TUPPER�察 �POET CLOSE�察 �I beg of you inform
us�察─�But my question seemed to throw them both into a rage enormous。
MISTER CLOSE expressed a wish that he could only get anigh to me�察�
And MISTER MARTIN TUPPER sent the following reply to me�此�
;A fool is bent upon a twig�察�but wise men dread a bandit�察─ � Which I
know was very clever�察�but I didn't understand it。
Seven weary years I wandered ´ Patagonia�察�China�察�Norway�察�Till at last
I sank exhausted at a pastrycook his doorway。
There were fuchsias and geraniums�察 �and daffodils and myrtle�察 �So I
entered�察�and I ordered half a basin of mock turtle。
He was plump and he was chubby�察 �he was smooth and he was rosy�察�
And his little wife was pretty and particularly cosy。
And he chirped and sang�察 �and skipped about�察 �and laughed with
laughter hearty ´ He was wonderfully active for so very stout a party。
And I said�察 �O gentle pieman�察�why so very�察�very merry�拭�Is it purity of
conscience�察�or your one´and´seven sherry�拭─�
But he answered�察 �I'm so happy ´ no profession could be dearer ´ If I
am not humming 'Tra� �la� �la��' I'm singing 'Tirer�察�lirer��'
;First I go and make the patties�察�and the puddings�察�and the jellies�察�Then
I make a sugar bird´cage�察�which upon a table swell is�察�
;Then I polish all the silver�察 �which a supper´table lacquers�察 �Then I
write the pretty mottoes which you find inside the crackers。; ´
;Found at last� ─�I madly shouted。 ;Gentle pieman�察�you astound me� ─�
Then I waved the turtle soup enthusiastically round me。
20

And I shouted and I danced until he'd quite a crowd around him ´ And
I rushed away exclaiming�察 �I have found him� �I have found him� ─�
And I heard the gentle pieman in the road behind me trilling�察 �'Tira�察�
lira��' stop him�察�stop him� �'Tra� �la� �la��' the soup's a shilling� ─�
But until I reached ELVIRA'S home�察 �I never�察 �never waited�察 �And
ELVIRA to her FERDINAND'S irrevocably mated� �

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 ´

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�

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
