De Frenchman ish done, all de silber I had, Spoken.] Vell, come along my hearts, come along mit you: so dere goes Mr. Ikey, Mr. Lipey, Mr. Aarons, Mr. Benjamins, Mr. Levi, and I don't know how many debels dere dey goes slap bang up a blind alley to look at de gold Napoleon; and dey all cries out, see, dere's a lucky debel, dere's a fellow, see what he's done: de Frenchman done him clean. Ah, ah, vat de matter-ah, vat you don't know vat de matter ish, Shadrack been and done de Frenchman, done him clean. I say Mo, vat vas you apout vat you didn't look sharp. Plow my vig, for vat you plow me up, vy didn't you look sharp yourself, you've always cot plenty of smitch apout you, vat you plow me up for? At last Mr. Moses arter he had put on his spectacles, at last he cries out-dere's a soft spoon-look at himstare him in de face-how dat fellow, vat calls himself a Jew, and swells about coming from Duke's Place, tinks dat he has done de Frenchman, tipt him de smitch, and dat-dem my vig if de Frenchman han t done him clean as a splatter for as I hope to be shaved, and as I'm an honest man, upon my heart if it's any ting in de world but a bit of copper gilt.-Vell, vell, poor Shadrack, he looked so plue as a pilbury, to tink vat de Frenchman had pit him, and all dat; so he picks himself up and his oranges and vants to bolt, but dey von't stand it, dey vill have de grin upon him; so dey sets up a dancing and prancing about him like so many debels, playing Old Nick mit him, singing Tol de rol lol, spooney Shadrack the orangeman, Tol de rol lol, spooney Shadrack the Jew. CAPTAIN CLACKIT. Lectur'd by Pa and Ma o'er night; And never listen to the fellows. I hate that woman; she sat next, All church time, to sweet Captain Clackit. Tuesday, got scolded, did not care; The toast was cold, 'twas past eleven; I dreamt the Captain, through the air, On Cupid's wings, bore me to heaven. Pout, and din'd; dress'd, look'd divine; Made an excuse, got Ma to back it; Went to the play. What joy was mine! Tald'd loud and laugh'd with Captain Clackit. Wednesday, came home, no lark so gayThe girl's quite alter'd; and my mother, Cri'd dad, I recollect the day When, dearie, thou wert such another. The forward minx! with Captain Clackit. Five doctors came with lengthen'd faces; Are these my promis'd love and graces? Friday, grew worse. Cry'd Ma, in pain, Worth all their cordials, balms, and spices; A letter; I had been to blame : The Captain's truth brought on a crisis; Sunday, for fear of more delays, Of a few clothes I made a packet; And Monday morn stepped in a chaise, And ran away with Captain Clackit. JUDY MAGRATH, O Judy Magrath, I am dying for you, I am struck thro' the heart like a spit thro' a goose. O Judy Magrath, won't you pity my grief? O Judy Magrath, you are cruel in troth, In vain at your feet I am dying all day, YOUTH IS NIMBLE, AGE IS LAME. Youth is nimble, age is lame, Youth is brisk and bold, Age is weak and cold, Oh! my love, my love is young- For, methinks, thou stay'st too long. Youth is pleasant, age is cross- Age's breath is short- Youth I do ad ore thee. Oh my love, my love is young- Oh! sweet Colin, hie thee- INDUCEMENTS TO KISSING. The clouds that rest on the mountain's breast And the western breeze kisses the trees, And woos the flowerets fair. And the weeping willows are kissed by the billows, the sea And the day star kisses the Then why not dearest, loveliest, fairest, And the bright moon beam kisses the stream, And the shady bower, at even's hour, Is woo'd by the nightingale. And the lily and rose, and each flower that blows, Then why not dearest, loveliest, fairest, A BUDGET OF BLUNDERS. As blunders in Ireland most rarely are found, Some few tales I'll chant which in blunders abound. As the stories are told, you'll o'erlook the odd taste Of blundering thus o'er my opening grace. An Irish captain, at an hotel arrived, Why, sir, said the inn-keeper, twixt you and me, And pray, landlord, when do you kill the right half? Derry down, &c. A new-married couple, each other's fond joy, At the end of six months there was born a fine boy. |
