+Warning to the Public
+
+CONCERNING
+
+THE LOVING BALLAD OF LORD BATEMAN.
+
+
+In some collection of old English Ballads there is an ancient ditty which
+I am told bears some remote and distant resemblance to the following Epic
+Poem. I beg to quote the emphatic language of my estimable friend (if he
+will allow me to call him so), the Black Bear in Piccadilly, and to assure
+all to whom these presents may come, that "_I_ am the original." This
+affecting legend is given in the following pages precisely as I have
+frequently heard it sung on Saturday nights, outside a house of general
+refreshment (familiarly termed a wine vaults) at Battle-bridge. The singer
+is a young gentleman who can scarcely have numbered nineteen summers,
+and who before his last visit to the treadmill, where he was erroneously
+incarcerated for six months as a vagrant (being unfortunately mistaken
+for another gentleman), had a very melodious and plaintive tone of voice,
+which, though it is now somewhat impaired by gruel and such a getting up
+stairs for so long a period, I hope shortly to find restored. I have taken
+down the words from his own mouth at different periods, and have been
+careful to preserve his pronunciation, together with the air to which he
+does so much justice. Of his execution of it, however, and the intense
+melancholy which he communicates to such passages of the song as are most
+susceptible of such an expression, I am unfortunately unable to convey to
+the reader an adequate idea, though I may hint that the effect seems to me
+to be in part produced by the long and mournful drawl on the last two or
+three words of each verse.
+
+I had intended to have dedicated my imperfect illustrations of this
+beautiful Romance to the young gentleman in question. As I cannot find,
+however, that he is known among his friends by any other name than
+"The Tripe-skewer," which I cannot but consider as a _soubriquet_, or
+nick-name; and as I feel that it would be neither respectful nor proper
+to address him publicly by that title, I have been compelled to forego the
+pleasure. If this should meet his eye, will he pardon my humble attempt to
+embellish with the pencil the sweet ideas to which he gives such feeling
+utterance? And will he believe me to remain his devoted admirer,
+
+                              GEORGE CRUIKSHANK?
+
+P.S.--The above is not my writing, nor the notes either, nor am I on
+familiar terms (but quite the contrary) with the Black Bear. Nevertheless
+I admit the accuracy of the statement relative to the public singer whose
+name is unknown, and concur generally in the sentiments above expressed
+relative to him.

+The Loving Ballad Of Lord Bateman.
+
+
+    I.
+
+    Lord Bateman vos a noble Lord,
+      A noble Lord of high degree;
+    He shipped his-self all aboard of a ship,
+      Some foreign country for to see.[1]
+
+For the notes to this beautiful Poem, see the end of the work.

+
+    II.
+
+    He sail-ed east, he sail-ed vest,
+      Until he come to famed Tur-key,
+    Vere he vos taken, and put to prisin,
+      Until his life was quite wea-ry.
+
+
+    III.
+
+    All in this prisin there grew a tree,
+      O! there it grew so stout and strong,
+    Vere he vos chain-ed all by the middle
+      Until his life vos almost gone.
+
+[Illustration: The Turk's daughter expresses a wish as Lord Bateman was
+hers.]
+
+    IV.
+
+    This Turk[2] he had one ounly darter,
+      The fairest my two eyes e'er see,
+    She steele the keys of her father's prisin,
+      And swore Lord Bateman she would let go free.
+
+
+    V.
+
+    O she took him to her father's cellar,
+      And guv to him the best of vine;
+    And ev'ry holth she dronk unto him,
+      Vos, "I vish Lord Bateman as you vos mine!"[3]
+
+[Illustration: The "WOW."]
+
+    VI.
+
+    "O have you got houses, have you got land,
+      And does Northumberland belong to thee?
+    And what would you give to the fair young lady
+      As out of prisin would let you go free?"
+
+
+    VII.
+
+    "O I've got houses, and I've got land,
+      And half Northumberland belongs to me;
+    And I vill give it all to the fair young lady
+      As out of prisin vould let me go free."
+
+[Illustration: The Turk's daughter, bidding his Lordship farewell, is
+impressed with a foreboding that she will see him no more!--]
+
+    VIII.
+
+    "O in sevin long years, I'll make a wow
+      For sevin long years, and keep it strong,[4]
+    That if you'll ved no other voman,
+     O I vill v-e-ed no other man."
+
+
+    IX.
+
+    O She took him to her father's harbour,
+      And guv to him a ship of fame,
+    Saying, "Farevell, Farevell to you, Lord Bateman,
+      I fear I ne-e-ever shall see you agen."
+
+[Illustration: The Proud young Porter answers the door--]
+
+    X.
+
+    Now sevin long years is gone and past,
+      And fourteen days vell known to me;[5]
+    She packed up all her gay clouthing,
+      And swore Lord Bateman she would go see.
+
+
+    XI.
+
+    O ven she arrived at Lord Bateman's castle,
+      How bouldly then she rang the bell,
+    "Who's there! who's there!" cries the proud young porter,
+      "O come, unto me pray quickly tell."
+
+[Illustration: The Proud young Porter in Lord Bateman's State Apartment]
+
+    XII.
+
+    "O! is this here Lord Bateman's castle,
+      And is his lordship here vithin?"
+    "O Yes! O yes!" cries the proud young porter;
+      "He's just now takin' his young bride in."
+
+
+    XIII.
+
+    "O! bid him to send me a slice of bread,
+      And a bottle of the wery best vine,
+    And not forgettin' the fair young lady
+      As did release him ven close confine."
+
+[Illustration: The young bride's Mother is heard (for the first time) to

+
+    XIV.
+
+    O! avay and avay vent this proud young porter,
+      O! avay and avay and avay vent he,[6]
+    Until he come to Lord Bateman's charmber,
+      Ven he vent down on his bended knee.
+
+
+    XV.
+
+    "Vot news, vot news, my proud young porter,[7]
+      Vot news, vot news, come tell to me?"
+    "O there is the fairest young lady
+      As ever my two eyes did see.
+
+[Illustration: The young bride comes on a horse and saddle]
+
+    XVI.
+
+    "She has got rings on ev'ry finger,
+      And on one finger she has got three:
+    Vith as much gay gould about her middle
+      As would buy half Northumberlee.
+
+
+    XVII.
+
+    "O she bids you to send her a slice of bread
+      And a bottle of the wery best vine,
+    And not forgettin' the fair young lady
+      As did release you ven close confine."
+
+[Illustration:--And goes home in a coach and three----]
+
+    XVIII.
+
+    Lord Bateman then in passion flew,
+      And broke his sword in splinters three,[8]
+    Saying, "I vill give half my father's land
+      If so be as Sophia[9] has crossed the sea."
+
+
+    XIX.
+
+    Then up and spoke this young bride's mother,
+      Who never vos heerd to speak so free:[10]
+    Sayin, "You'll not forget my ounly darter,
+      If so be as Sophia has crossed the sea."
+
+[Illustration: Lord Bateman, his other bride, and his favorite domestic,
+with all their hearts so full of glee.]
+
+    XX.
+
+    "O it's true I made a bride of your darter,
+      But she's neither the better nor the vorse for me;
+    She came to me with a horse and saddle,
+      But she may go home in a coach and three."
+
+
+    XXI.
+
+    Lord Bateman then prepared another marriage,
+      With both their hearts so full of glee,
+    Saying, "I vill roam no more to foreign countries
+      Now that Sophia has crossed the sea."[11]

+NOTES.
+
+
+[Footnote 1:
+
+    _Some foreign country for to see._
+
+The reader is here in six words artfully made acquainted with Lord
+Bateman's character and temperament.--Of a roving, wandering, and unsettled
+spirit, his Lordship left his native country, bound he knew not whither.
+_Some_ foreign country he wished to see, and that was the extent of his
+desire; any foreign country would answer his purpose--all foreign countries
+were alike to him. He was a citizen of the world, and upon the world of
+waters, sustained by the daring and reckless impulses of his heart, he
+boldly launched. For anything, from pitch-and-toss upwards to manslaughter,
+his Lordship was prepared. Lord Bateman's character at this time, and his
+expedition, would appear to Have borne a striking resemblance to those of
+Lord Byron.
+
+    His goblets brimmed with every costly wine,
+    And all that mote to luxury invite.
+    Without a sigh he left to cross the brine,
+    And traverse Paynim shores, and pass earth's central line.
+
+CHILDE HAROLD, CANTO I.]
+
+[Footnote 2:
+
+    _This Turk he had, &c._
+
+The poet has here, by that bold license which only genius can venture upon,
+surmounted the extreme difficulty of introducing any particular Turk, by
+assuming a fore-gone conclusion in the reader's mind, and adverting in a
+casual, careless way to a Turk unknown, as to an old acquaintance. "_This_
+Turk he had--" We have heard of no Turk before, and yet this familiar
+introduction satisfies us at once that we know him well. He was a pirate,
+no doubt, of a cruel and savage disposition, entertaining a hatred of the
+Christian race, and accustomed to garnish his trees and vines with such
+stray professors of Christianity as happened to fall into his hands. "This
+Turk he had--" is a master-stroke--a truly Shakspearian touch. There are
+few things like it in the language.]
+
+[Footnote 3:
+
+    _And every holth she drunk unto him
+    Vos, "I vish Lord Bateman as you vos mine!"_
+
+A most affecting illustration of the sweetest simplicity, the purest
+artlessness, and holiest affections of woman's gentle nature. Bred up among
+the rough and savage crowds which thronged her father's lawless halls, and
+meeting with no responsive or kindred spirit among those fierce barbarians
+(many of whom, however, touched by her surpassing charms, though insensible
+to her virtues and mental endowments, had vainly sought her hand in
+marriage), this young creature had spent the greater part of her life in
+the solitude of her own apartments, or in contemplating the charms of
+nature arrayed in all the luxury of eastern voluptuousness. At length she
+hears from an aged and garrulous attendant, her only female adviser (for
+her mother died when she was yet an infant), of the sorrows and sufferings
+of the Christian captive. Urged by pity and womanly sympathy, she repairs
+to his prison to succour and console him. She supports his feeble and
+tottering steps to her father's cellar, recruits his exhausted frame with
+copious draughts of sparkling wine, and when his dim eye brightens, and his
+pale cheek becomes flushed with the glow of returning health and animation,
+she--unaccustomed to disguise or concealment, and being by nature all
+openness and truth--gives vent to the feelings which now thrill her maiden
+heart for the first time, in the rich gush of unspeakable love, tenderness,
+and devotion--
+
+    I vish Lord Bateman as you vos mine!]
+
+[Footnote 4:
+
+    _Oh, in sevin long years I'll make a wow,
+    I'll make a wow, and I'll keep it strong_.
+
+Love has converted the tender girl into a majestic heroine; she cannot only
+make "a wow," but she can "keep it strong;" she feels all the dignity of
+truth and love swelling in her bosom. With the view of possessing herself
+of the real state of Lord Bateman's affections, and with no sordid or
+mercenary motives, she has enquired of that nobleman what are his means of
+subsistence, and whether _all_ Northumberland belongs to him. His Lordship
+has rejoined, with a noble regard for truth, that _half_ Northumberland is
+his, and that he will give it freely to the fair young lady who will
+release him from his dungeon. She, being thus assured of his regard and
+esteem, rejects all idea of pecuniary reward, and offers to be a party to a
+solemn wow--to be kept strong on both sides--that, if for seven years he
+will remain a bachelor, she, for the like period, will remain a maid. The
+contract is made, and the lovers are solemnly contracted.]
+
+[Footnote 5:
+
+    _Now sevin long years is gone and past,
+    And fourteen days vell known to me._
+
+In this may be recognised, though in a minor degree, the same gifted hand
+that portrayed the Mussulman, the pirate, the father, and the bigot, in two
+words. The time is gone, the historian knows it, and that is enough for the
+reader. This is the dignity of history very strikingly exemplified.]
+
+[Footnote 6:
+
+    _Avay and avay vent this proud young porter,
+    Avay and avay and avay vent he._
+
+Nothing perhaps could be more ingeniously contrived to express the vastness
+of Lord Bateman's family mansion than this remarkable passage. The proud
+young porter had to thread courts, corridors, galleries, and staircases
+innumerable, before he could penetrate to those exquisite apartments in
+which Lord Bateman was wont to solace his leisure hours, with the most
+refined pleasures of his time. We behold him hastening to the presence of
+his lord: the repetition of the word "avay" causes us to feel the speed
+with which he hastens--at length he arrives. Does he appear before the
+chief with indecent haste? Is he described as rushing madly into his
+presence to impart his message? No! a different atmosphere surrounds that
+remarkable man. Even this proud young porter is checked in his impetuous
+career which lasted only
+
+    _Until_ he came to Lord Bateman's chamber,
+    Vere he vent down on his bended knee.
+
+Lord Bateman's eye is upon him, and he quails.]
+
+[Footnote 7:
+
+    _Vot news! vot news! my proud young porter?_
+
+A pleasant condescension on the part of his lordship, showing that he
+recognised the stately youth, and no less stately pride of office which
+characterized his follower, and that he was acquainted with the
+distinguishing appellation which he appears to have borne in the family.]
+
+[Footnote 8:
+
+    _And broke his sword in splinters three._
+
+Exemplifying, in a highly poetical and striking manner, the force of Lord
+Bateman's love, which he would seem to have kept strong as his "wow." We
+have beheld him patient in confinement, descending to no base murmurings
+against fortune, even when chained by the middle to a tree, with the
+prospect of ending his days in that ignominious and unpleasant position. He
+has borne all this and a great deal more, seven years and a fortnight have
+elapsed, and, at last, on the mere mention of the fair young lady, he falls
+into a perfect phrenzy, and breaks his sword, the faithful partner and
+companion of his glory, into three splinters. Antiquarians differ
+respecting the intent and meaning of this ceremony, which has been
+construed and interpreted in many different ways. The strong probability is
+that it was done "for luck;" and yet Lord Bateman should have been superior
+to the prejudices of the vulgar.]
+
+[Footnote 9:
+
+    _If my own Sophia._
+
+So called doubtless from the mosque of St. Sophia, at Constantinople; her
+father having professed the Mahomedan religion.]
+
+[Footnote 10:
+
+    _Then up and spoke this young bride's mother,
+    Who never vos heerd to speak so free._
+
+This is an exquisite touch of nature, which most married men, whether of
+noble or plebeian blood, will quickly recognise. During the whole of her
+daughter's courtship, the good old lady had scarcely spoken, save by
+expressive smiles and looks of approval. But now that her object is gained,
+and her daughter fast married (as she thinks), she suddenly assumes quite a
+new tone, "and never was heerd to speak so free." It would be difficult for
+poetry to comprehend any thing more strictly true and life-like than this.]
+
+[Footnote 11:
+
+    _With both their hearts so full of glee._
+
+If any thing could add to the grace and beauty of the poem, it would be
+this most satisfactory and agreeable conclusion. At the time of the foreign
+lady's arrival on the shores of England, we find Lord Bateman in the
+disagreeable dilemma of having contracted another marriage; to which step
+his lordship has doubtless been impelled by despair of ever recovering his
+lost Sophia, and a natural anxiety not to die without leaving an heir to
+his estate. The ceremony has been performed, the Church has done its
+office, the bride and her mamma have taken possession of the castle, when
+the lost Sophia suddenly presents herself. An ordinary man would have been
+overwhelmed by such a complication of perplexities--not so Lord Bateman.
+Master of the human heart, he appeals to feminine ambition and love of
+display; and, reminding the young lady that she came to him on a saddle
+horse (with her revered parent following no doubt on foot behind), offers
+to bestow upon her a coach and three. The young lady closes with the
+proposition; her august mother, having brought it about by her freedom of
+speech, makes no objection; Lord Bateman, being a nobleman of great power,
+and having plenty of superfluous wealth to bestow upon the Church, orders
+another marriage, and boldly declares the first one to be a nullity.
+Thereupon "another marriage" is immediately prepared, and the piece closes
+with a picture of general happiness and hilarity.]

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit:

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
