     So the forces of BUNGALEE BOO Marched forth in a terrible   row�察�

And the ladies who fought for QUEEN LOO Prepared to encounter the foe 

´ This dreadful�察�insatiate foe� �

    But they sharpened no weapons at all�察�And they poisoned no arrows ´

not they� �They made ready to conquer or fall In a totally different way ´ 

An entirely different way。 

    With    a  crimson   and   pearly´white   dye   They   endeavoured     to  make 

themselves fair�察�With black they encircled each eye�察�And with yellow they 

painted their hair ��It was wool�察�but they thought it was hair��。 

    And the forces they met in the field�此� And the men of KING BORRIA 

said�察 �Amazonians�察�immediately yield� ─�And their arrows they drew to the 

head ´ Yes�察�drew them right up to the head。 

    But   jocular   WAGGETY´WEH   Ogled           DOODLE´DUM´DEY   ��which 

was wrong���察�And neat little TITTY´FOL´LEH Said�察 �TOOTLE´TUM�察�you

    And   rollicking   TRAL´THE´RAL´LAH   Tapped   ALACK´A´DEY´AH 

with her fan�察�And musical DOH´REH´MI´FAH Said�察 �PISH�察�go away�察�you 

bad man� �Go away�察�you delightful young man� ─�

    And the Amazons simpered and sighed�察�And they ogled�察�and giggled�察�

and flushed�察�And they opened their pretty eyes wide�察�And they chuckled�察�

and flirted�察�and blushed ��At least�察�if they could�察�they'd have blushed��。 

    But haughty PISH´TUSH´POOH´BAH Said�察 �ALACK´A´DEY�察�what

us uncommonly green� �Ha� �ha� �most uncommonly green� ─�

    Even blundering   DOODLE´DUM´DEY Was   insensible  quite to   their 

leers�察�And said good little TOOTLE´TUM´TEH�察 �It's your blood we desire�察�

pretty dears ´ We have come for our dinners�察�my dears� ─�

              Ballad�此�The Periwinkle Girl 



    I've    often   thought    that  headstrong     youths    Of   decent    education�察�

Determine all´important truths�察�With strange precipitation。 

     The    ever´ready    victims   they�察 �Of   logical   illusions�察 �And    in  a  self´ 

assertive way They jump at strange conclusions。 

    Now take my case�此        �Ere sorrow could My ample forehead wrinkle�察�I 

had determined that I should Not care to be a winkle。 

     ;A   winkle�察─   �I  would   oft  advance    With   readiness    provoking�察    �Can 

seldom flirt�察�and never dance�察�Or soothe his mind by smoking。; 

    In short�察�I spurned the   shelly joy�察�And   spoke with strange decision   ´ 

Men pointed to me as a boy Who held them in derision。 

    But I was young ´ too young�察�by far ´ Or I had been more wary�察�I knew 

not then that winkles are The stock´in´trade of MARY。 

    I had not watched her sunlight blithe As o'er their shells it dances ´ I've 

seen those winkles almost writhe Beneath her beaming glances。 

     Of   slighting   all   the   winkly   brood   I   surely   had   been   chary�察  �If   I   had 

known they formed the food And stock´in´trade of MARY。 

    Both high and low and great and small Fell prostrate at her tootsies�察�

They all were noblemen�察�and all Had balances at COUTTS'S。 

    Dukes     with   the  lovely   maiden    dealt�察 �DUKE      BAILEY   and      DUKE 

HUMPHY�察�Who ate her winkles till they felt Exceedingly uncomfy。 

    DUKE BAILEY greatest wealth computes�察�And sticks�察�they say�察�at no´ 

thing�察�He wears a pair of golden boots And silver underclothing。 

    DUKE HUMPHY�察�as I understand�察�Though mentally acuter�察�His boots 

are only silver�察�and His underclothing pewter。 

    A   third   adorer   had   the   girl�察  �A   man   of   lowly   station   ´   A   miserable 

grov'ling Earl Besought her approbation。 

     This humble cad she did refuse With much contempt and loathing�察�He 

wore a pair of leather shoes And cambric underclothing� �

     ;Ha� �ha� ─�she cried。       ;Upon my word� �Well�察�really ´ come�察�I never� �

Oh�察�go along�察�it's too absurd� �My goodness�           �Did you ever�拭�

     ;Two Dukes would Mary make a bride�察�And from her foes defend her;

´ ;Well�察�not exactly that�察─�they cried�察 �We offer guilty splendour。 

     ;We   do   not   offer   marriage   rite�察  �So   please   dismiss   the   notion� ─   �Oh 

dear�察─�said she�察 �that alters quite The state of my emotion。; 

     The Earl he up and says�察�says he�察 �Dismiss them to their orgies�察�For I 

am game to marry thee Quite reg'lar at St。 George's。; 

     ��He'd had�察�it happily befell�察�A decent education�察�His views would have 

befitted well A far superior station。�� 

     His sterling worth had worked a cure�察�She never heard him grumble�察�

She saw his soul was good and pure�察�Although his rank was humble。 

     Her views of earldoms and their lot�察�All underwent expansion ´ Come�察�

Virtue in an earldom's cot� �Go�察�Vice in ducal mansion� �
