the heart of the

poor sail - or boy, Will cherish the heart of the poor sail - or boy!

Our cannon soon thunder'd their hostile defiance,
To crush the proud foe who had scorn'd our alliance:
With vict'ry and wealth now in triumph returning,
For home with impatience each bosom was burning.
At night, though I safely recline on my pillow,

In fancy again I am rock'd by the billow,
And see the wild ocean's white foam in my dreaming;
But, when through the sky morn's red tinges are
streaming,

They vanish, and gladden the poor sailor boy.

TO THE SETTING SUN.

The piper came to our town, to our town, to our town-The pi-per came to our town, And

he play'd bon-ni- lie.

He play'd a spring the laird to please, A spring brent new frae

'yont the seas; And then he ga'e his bags

And was na he a roguy,

The piper o' Dundee?

He play'd The welcome ower the Main,'

And Ye'se be fou and I'se be fain,'

And 'Auld Stuart's back again,'

Wi' muckle mirth and glee.

And was na he a roguy,

The piper o' Dundee?

He play'd 'The Kirk,' he play'd 'The Queer,' "The Mullin Dhu,' and 'Chevalier,'

And Lang away, but welome here,'
Sae sweet, sae bonnilie.

And was na he a roguy,

The piper o' Dundee?

It's some gat swords and some gat nane,
And some were dancing mad teir lane,
And mony a vow o' weir was ta'en,
That night at Amulrie.

And was na he a roguy,

The piper o' Dundee?

There were Tullibardine, and Burleigh,
And Struan, Keith, and Ogilvie,

And brave Carnegie-wha but he,
The piper o' Dundee ?

Pomposo.

THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.
The Words by Thomas Hood.-The Music by J. Blewitt.

8

How well I remember the ninth of November! The sky very fog-gy, the sun look-ing

grog-gy;

In fact, alto - ge-ther pea-soup- co - lour'd weather;-Shop win-dows all

shutter'd, The pavement all butter'd, police men para-ded, The street bar-ri-ca - ded, d tempo.

And a peel from the stee-ple of Bow-oo!

Low wo-men in pat-tens, High

ladies in satins, And cousin suburbans in flame-colour'd turbans; Quite up to the at-tics,

inviting rheu-matics; A great mob col-lecting with-out much selecting, And Pomposo.

some, it's a pity, are free of the Ci-- ty, As your pockets may happen to know. [PATTER.]-Now, John, put up the shutters, lock the door, and clean the glass over it; the three Master Bells are coming to look through the fanlight.-(Maid curtseying.)

O cry!-look how that boy's velveteens are coming through the lamp-iron!--Betsy, my dear, do you stand comfortable? O very-on one leg-but when I put down the other, it goes into the gutter.

On the 9th of November he has to vacate the chair. -Poor dear Man I-it must be a painful thing, sir, to be obliged to part with his seat of honour!-Oh, vary, vary.

How well I remember the ninth of November!
The fine Lady May'ress an ostrich's heiress,
In best bib and tucker, and dignified pucker;
The learned Recorder, in Old Bailey order;
The Sheriffs together, with their hanging weather,
And their heads like John Anderson's pow-o-o;

Such hustle and bustle, &c.

The Aldermen courtly, and looking red portly;
And buckler and bargemen, with other great large

men;

With streamers and banners held up in odd manners;
A mob running arter, to see it by vater;
And the wharfs popping off as they go.

[PATTER.]-There she is what a beautiful plume! and what a lovely stomacher !-Now, Mr. Dangle, what do you think of our Mayoress -May I speak my sentiments -O, certainly!-Why, then, I think she has borrowed half the silks of Cheapside, and all the feathers of the Poultry -You are so severe!-Pray, sir, would you be so good as inform me what are those gentlemen with fur gowns on, like judges -Ah, they're no judges!-I mean those with white wands, like conjurors.-Ah, they're no conjurors-they're the Common Council-Now, Bill, shout out! -Huzzay, huzzay !-Bless me, what makes the Sheriffs so poppolar -It arn't them-it's the charrots-they were built at our master's.-Keep off the wheels there!-Pray, which are the Sheriffs! -Those in scat'et, ma'am, with collars of A double S: all the great city posts have chains to 'em.-Here he comes! now, Barney, be ready with your goose!(Hisses and groans.) Hold your noise, ye young thaves o' the world, and born blackguards-I wish I was the mother on ye !-Vy, ve arn't a hissing at you, Judy: it's the Recorder-he had us vipp'd last sessions! There goes Alderman Gobble!-No, it ain't-it's Judge Cross, and there ain't ever a big wig as 'll eat and drink with bigger wigger!Come, move on, move on!-Gee-up, Patten-makers !-Go along, Girdlers,-you'll be too late for dinner!-Shove along, Jack-did you see him take water!-(Woman.) Take water! what, with nothing in it -No, you fool, with boats and bridges and barges, and every thing in it!-(Bowing citizen.) Superb piece of pageantry? gorgeous spectacle! (Pomposo.) O, vary, vary-great magnificence-great opulence great corpulence-great greatness !-Miss Maggs, my love, I hope you have been gratified?-O, so much 1-interesting sight-august ceremony-imposing effect extremely obliged-so very comfortable-whitscht! (sneezing)-Not quite open weather enough for open windows! (more sneezing)-Colds are catching, ma'am !-Then I wish they'd catch my turban, for I've just sneezed it out of window 1 Such hustle and bustle, &c.,

Moderato.

O, MARK YON LITTLE BOUNDING BARK.

Arranged expressly for this work, to a melody by Spohr.

ΟΙ

mark yon lit-tle bounding bark That skims along the main ! Ye roar-ing

winds, be mer-ci-ful-Re- turn it safe again; And blow, ye breezes, gently blow, And

waft it near the shore: For one young heart would break with woe, should it re-turn no more!

A fair one stands at her lattice high,

And she sees it come in sight;

Her heart beats as it ventures nigh,

And she watches with delight.

Her lover's in yon little bark,

That rises with the foam;

Then gently blow, ye verdant ales,
And waft the sailor home.
