bagpipes CAN play him a regular tune。 Let's see�察─�said McCLAN�察�as he 

thoughtfully sat�察 �'IN MY COTTAGE' is easy ´ I'll practise at that。; 

     He   blew   at   his   ;Cottage�察─  �and   blew   with   a   will�察  �For   a   year�察  �seven 

months�察�and a fortnight�察�until ��You'll hardly believe it�� McCLAN�察�I declare�察�

Elicited something resembling an air。 

     It was wild ´ it was fitful ´ as wild as the breeze ´ It wandered about 

into several keys�察�It was jerky�察�spasmodic�察�and harsh�察�I'm aware�察�But still it 

distinctly suggested an air。 

     The   Sassenach   screamed�察  �and   the   Sassenach   danced�察  �He   shrieked   in 

his agony ´ bellowed and pranced�察�And the maidens who gathered rejoiced 

at the scene ´ Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN。 

     ;Hech gather�察�hech gather�察�hech gather around�察�And fill a' ye lugs wi' 

the exquisite sound。 An air fra' the bagpipes ´ beat that if ye can� �Hurrah 

for CLONGLOCKETTY ANGUS McCLAN� ─�

     The   fame   of   his   piping   spread   over   the   land�此  �Respectable   widows 

proposed for his   hand�察�And maidens   came flocking   to sit on the green   ´ 

Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN。 

     One morning the fidgety Sassenach swore He'd stand it no longer ´ he 

drew his claymore�察�And ��this was�察�I think�察�in extremely bad taste�� Divided 

CLONGLOCKETTY close to the waist。 

     Oh� �loud were the wailings for ANGUS McCLAN�察�Oh� �deep was the 

grief for that excellent man�察�The maids stood aghast at the horrible scene ´ 

Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN。 

     It   sorrowed   poor   PATTISON   CORBY  TORBAY  To   find   them   ;take 

on;   in   this   serious   way�察  �He   pitied   the   poor   little   fluttering   birds�察  �And 

solaced their souls with the following words�此�

     ;Oh�察�maidens�察─�said PATTISON�察�touching his hat�察 �Don't blubber�察�my 

dears�察 �for   a   fellow   like   that�察  �Observe�察  �I'm  a   very  superior   man�察�A  much 

better fellow than ANGUS McCLAN。; 

     They smiled when he winked and addressed them as ;dears�察─�And they 

all   of   them   vowed�察  �as   they   dried   up   their   tears�察�A  pleasanter   gentleman 

never was seen ´ Especially ELLEN McJONES ABERDEEN。

                    Ballad�此�Peter The Wag 



     Policeman   PETER   forth   I   drag   From   his   obscure   retreat�此  �He   was   a 

merry genial wag�察�Who loved a mad conceit。 If he were asked the time of 

day�察  �By   country   bumpkins      green�察  �He   not   unfrequently   would      say�察  �A 

quarter past thirteen。; 

     If ever you by word of mouth Inquired of MISTER FORTH The way 

to somewhere in the South�察�He always sent you North。 With little boys his 

beat along He loved to stop and play�察�He loved to send old ladies wrong�察�

And teach their feet to stray。 

     He   would   in   frolic   moments�察  �when   Such   mischief   bent   upon�察  �Take 

Bishops up as betting men ´ Bid Ministers move on。 Then all the worthy 

boys he knew He regularly licked�察�And always collared people who Had 

had their pockets picked。 

     He   was   not   naturally   bad�察  �Or   viciously   inclined�察  �But   from   his   early 

youth he had A waggish turn of mind。 The Men of London grimly scowled 

With indignation wild�察�The Men of London gruffly growled�察�But PETER 

calmly smiled。 

     Against this minion of the Crown The swelling murmurs grew ´ From 

Camberwell to Kentish Town ´ From Rotherhithe to Kew。 Still humoured 

he his wagsome turn�察�And fed in various ways The coward rage that dared 

to burn�察�But did not dare to blaze。 

     Still�察�Retribution has her day�察�Although her flight is slow�此�ONE DAY 

THAT  CRUSHER  LOST  HIS WAY  NEAR  POLAND  STREET�察  �SOHO。 

The haughty boy�察�too proud to ask�察�To find his way resolved�察�And in the 

tangle of his task Got more and more involved。 

     The   Men   of   London�察  �overjoyed�察  �Came   there   to   jeer   their   foe�察  �And 

flocking   crowds   completely   cloyed   The   mazes   of   Soho。   The   news   on 

telegraphic wires Sped swiftly o'er the lea�察�Excursion trains from distant 

shires Brought myriads to see。 

     For   weeks   he   trod   his   self´made   beats   Through   Newport´   Gerrard´ 

Bear´    Greek´    Rupert´    Frith´  Dean´    Poland´    Streets�察  �And    into  Golden 

Square。 But all�察�alas� �in vain�察�for when He tried to learn the way Of little

boys or grown´up men�察�They none of them would say。 

     Their   eyes   would   flash   ´   their   teeth   would   grind   ´   Their   lips   would 

tightly curl ´ They'd say�察 �Thy way thyself must find�察�Thou misdirecting 

churl� ─   �And�察   �similarly�察  �also�察 �when    He   tried  a  foreign    friend�察 �Italians 

answered�察 �IL BALEN; ´ The French�察 �No comprehend。; 

     The Russ would say with gleaming eye ; Sevastopol� ─�and groan。 The 

Greek said�察。�GREEK TEXT WHICH CANNOT BE REPRODUCED�А�; To 

wander   thus   for   many   a   year   That   Crusher   never   ceased   ´   The   Men   of 

London dropped a tear�察�Their anger was appeased 

     At length exploring gangs were sent To find poor FORTH'S remains ´ 

A  handsome   grant by  Parliament Was   voted   for   their   pains。 To   seek   the 

poor policeman out Bold spirits volunteered�察�And when they swore they'd 

solve the doubt�察�The Men of London cheered。 

     And in a yard�察�dark�察�dank�察�and drear�察�They found him�察�on the floor ´ It 

leads    from   Richmond      Buildings     ´  near  The   Royalty    stage´door。    With 

brandy cold and brandy hot They plied him�察�starved and wet�察�And made 

him sergeant on the spot ´ The Men of London's pet� �

         Ballad�此�Ben Allah Achmet�察 � Or�察�

                          The Fatal Tum 



    I once did know a Turkish man Whom I upon a two´pair´back met�察�His 

name   it   was   EFFENDI   KHAN   BACKSHEESH   PASHA   BEN   ALLAH 

ACHMET。 

    A DOCTOR BROWN I also knew ´ I've often eaten of his bounty�察�The 

Turk and he they lived at Hooe�察�In Sussex�察�that delightful county� �

    I    knew     a   nice   young     lady    there�察  �Her    name    was    EMILY 

MACPHERSON�察           �And    though    she  wore    another's   hair�察 �She   was   an 

interesting person。 

    The Turk adored the maid of Hooe ��Although his harem would have 

shocked     her��。  But   BROWN       adored   that  maiden    too�此 �He   was   a  most 

seductive doctor。 

    They'd follow her where'er she'd go ´ A course of action most improper�察�

She neither knew by sight�察�and so For neither of them cared a copper。 

    BROWN   did   not   know   that   Turkish   male�察  �He   might   have   been   his 

sainted mother�此�The people in this simple tale Are total strangers to each 

other。 

    One day that Turk he sickened sore�察�And suffered agonies oppressive�察�

He threw himself upon the floor And rolled about in pain excessive。 

    It   made   him   moan�察  �it   made   him   groan�察  �And   almost   wore   him   to   a 

mummy。 Why should I hesitate to own That pain was in his little tummy�拭�

    At length a doctor came�察�and rung ��As ALLAH ACHMET had desired���察�

Who felt his pulse�察 �looked up his tongue�察�And hemmed and hawed�察 �and 

then inquired�此�

     ;Where   is   the   pain   that   long   has   preyed   Upon   you   in   so   sad   a   way�察�

sir�拭─�The Turk   he giggled�察�blushed�察�and said�此�I   don't exactly  like to  say�察�

sir。; 

     ;Come�察�nonsense� ─�said good DOCTOR BROWN。 ;So this is Turkish 

coyness�察�is it�拭�You must contrive to fight it down ´ Come�察�come�察�sir�察�please 

to be explicit。;

     The   Turk   he   shyly   bit   his   thumb�察�And   coyly   blushed   like   one   half´ 

witted�察 �The pain is in my little tum�察─�He�察�whispering�察�at length admitted。 

     ;Then take you this�察�and take you that ´ Your blood flows sluggish in 

its   channel   ´   You   must   get   rid   of   all   this   fat�察  �And   wear   my   medicated 

flannel。 

     ;You'll send for me when you're in need ´ My name is BROWN ´ your 

life   I've   saved   it。;   ;My   rival� ─  �shrieked   the   invalid�察�And   drew   a   mighty 

sword and waved it�此�

     ;This to thy weazand�察�Christian pest� ─�Aloud the Turk in frenzy yelled 

it�察�And drove right through the doctor's chest The sabre and the hand that 

held it。 

     The   blow  was a   decisive one�察�And   DOCTOR   BROWN  grew   deadly 

pasty�察    �Now     see   the   mischief    that   you've    done    ´  You   Turks    are   so 

extremely hasty。 

     ;There are two DOCTOR BROWNS in Hooe ´ HE'S short and stout�察�

I'M   tall   and   wizen�察�You've   been   and   run   the   wrong   one   through�察  �That's 

how the error has arisen。; 

     The accident was thus explained�察�Apologies were only heard now�此 �At 

my mistake I'm really pained ´ I am�察�indeed ´ upon my word now。 

     ;With me�察�sir�察�you shall be interred�察�A mausoleum grand awaits me。; 

;Oh�察  �pray   don't   say   another   word�察  �I'm   sure   that   more   than   compensates 

me。 

     ;But   p'r'aps�察  �kind   Turk�察  �you're   full   inside�拭─   �There's   room�察─  �said   he�察�

;for    any   number。;     And    so   they   laid   them   down     and   died。   In   proud 

Stamboul they sleep their slumber�察�
