To arms, once more, to arms! the cry

'Twas post meridian, half-past four

The hardy Norseman's house of yore
There was a brave old mariner

...

'Twas one morn, when the wind from the northward blew

keenly

Tom Tackle was noble-was true to his word...

When a boy, Harry Bluff left his friends and his home

Be mine, dear maid; this faithful heart
Drink to me only with thine eyes
Fair is the miller's maid
Forge him! oh, how little they...
Fare thee well, and if for ever

Farewell, my dear Mary, the beam of thy beauty
Give me the grasp that is warm, kind, and ready
Go, in the summer when the morning breaketh
Go! forget me !-why should sorrow
Good-night, good-night, beloved!
Had I a heart for falsehood framed
Heaven hath its crown of stars
Here we meet too soon to part
I have waited for thy coming

I have said that I would love thee

I do not ask to offer thee a timid love like mine

Not for thee-thou false one, never
O Nanny, wilt thou go with me ?...
Oh! ask not others if I love...
Oh, ye tears! oh, ye tears!

She walks in beauty like the night
She's sportive as the zephyr...
Sweet girl! though only once we met

Should he upbraid, I'll own that he'd prevail.
Sister, I have loved thee well

Thy favourite bird is soaring still
Thou art livelier than the coming

The fountains mingle with the river ...
The sun its bright rays may withhold, love
The kiss, dear maid, thy lips have left
Thou lingering star, with lessening ray
They have given thee to another...
When we two parted

When the glowworm gilds the elfin bower
Well, what if Fortune frown, love

Hurrah for merry Christmas

Let dukes keep their racers, my lord have his stud
List to the lay of the Gipsy band
Oh! Time is sweet when roses meet...
Oh! I am the child of the forest wild
The glasses sparkle on the board
The Pope he leads a happy life
The wealthy fool, with gold in store.
You all knew Tom Moody, the whipper-in, well
Witlaf, a king of the Saxons

I had knock'd out the dust from my pipe t'other night
My own fireside! Those simple words
Oh! none can tell but those who've roved
The river flows through pleasant vales
'Tis a libel on woman to say through the casement
You'll always find a welcome here

COMIC AND SATIRICAL.

A peacock came, with his plumage gay
As beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping...

A fond youth serenaded his love

"Have you heard the strange news just come down, Gaffer

Green ?"

[ocr errors]

In the days of creation, when Jove was allotting
It fell about the Martinmas time

"Oh! if I had a thousand a-year, Gaffer Green".
If a secret you'd keep, there is one I could tell
Martin, the man at arms, stalwart and strong
Och hone! and what will I do ? ...

...

Oh! why dost thou shiver and shake, Gaffer Grey?
There's a path by the river

There was a jolly miller once

[ocr errors]

The little lane, the greenwood lane

...

The bee loves the flower, and the wind loves the sea
There's a good time coming, boys

The Pope he leads a happy life...

Will nobody come to the mistletoe bough?

Where the breeze with the blossom was playing

Who'll buy my roses ?-they're fresh and they're fair..

You are going far away...

Argyle is my name...

Allen-a-Dale has no faggot for burning
Hail to the chief who in triumph advances
"Husband, husband, cease your strife".
It fell about the Martinmas time

Is there for honest poverty...

My Highland home, where tempests blow
O merry row, O merry row...

Kathleen, mavourneen, the grey dawn is breaking

Oh! the moments were sad when my love and I parted
One day by that lake I was straying...

Och hone! and what will I do ?...

So, my Kathleen, you're going to leave me

There came to the beach a poor exile of Erin...

GLEES, DUETS, AND MADRIGALS.

A garden is my lady's face ...
As it fell upon a day

Glorious Apollo from on high beheld us

Hail to the chief who in triumph advances
Here's a health to all good lasses

In going to my lonely bed

Down in a flow'ry vale, all on a summer morning..

Mynheer Vandunck, though he never got drunk

My mistress is as fair as fine

Oh, ye tears! oh, ye tears!

Oh, don't you remember the beautiful glade

Oh! bold Robin Hood is a forester good.

O who will ride o'er the Downs so free

O, by rivers, by whose falls...

Patter, patter! Let it pour...

Slowly and softly music should flow.
Solemnly, mournfully, dealing its dole
Sigh no more, ladies

Sleep, gentle lady, the flowers are closing
The roses last their little day

When Bibo thought fit from the world to retreat...
When the wind blows in the sweet rose-tree

Adieu, my native land, adieu!
Amid the city's busy throng

A song for the fields, for the merry green fields
An old man and a little child

An old man saw a little child

Autumn leaves lie strew'd around me here
As Jeannie came from market

And this is the mill-stream that ten years ago
Beautiful, beautiful blossoms of spring
Brethren, in this life's existence
Bird of the wilderness

Bear and forbear, whatsoe'er be your station
Come buy my fruit, ripe autumn fruit
Come and buy each summer flower
Come to the valley-the mountain may
Come o'er the moonlit sea...

Cheer, boys, cheer! no more of idle sorrow
Dear is the blush of early light

Deep in a vale a cottage stood

Dear boy, throw that icicle down
Fill a goblet, merry folk

Farewell to the mountain

Fast and fair the stars were springing

How merrily this summer morn...
