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>I</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.</p> + +<p>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 <i>soubriquet</i>, 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,</p> + +<p class="right">GEORGE CRUIKSHANK?</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 200px;"> +<img src="images/signature.jpg" width="200" height="78" alt="(signature: George Cruikshank)" title="(signature: George Cruikshank)" /> +</div> +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> +<img src="images/music.jpg" width="400" height="527" alt="Musical Score" title="Musical Score" /> +</div> +<p class="center">Transcibers note: The music has been digitized with Lilypond.

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— +<br /> +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span>I vish Lord Bateman as you vos mine!<br /></span> +</div></div> +</div> + +<div class="footnote"><a name="Footnote_4_4" id="Footnote_4_4"></a><a href="#FNanchor_4_4"><span class="label">[4]</span></a> +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span><i>Oh, in sevin long years I'll make a wow,</i><br /></span> +<span><i>I'll make a wow, and I'll keep it strong</i>.<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<br />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 <i>all</i> Northumberland belongs to him. His Lordship +has rejoined, with a noble regard for truth, that <i>half</i> 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 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.</div> + +<h2><a name="THE_END" id="THE_END" /> </h2> +<hr class="full" /> +<p>***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE LOVING BALLAD OF LORD BATEMAN***</p> +<p>******* This file should be named 15618-h.txt or 15618-h.zip *******</p> +<p>This and all associated files of various formats will be found in:<br /> +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/5/6/1/15618">https://www.gutenberg.org/1/5/6/1/15618</a></p> +<p>Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed.</p> + +<p>Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">https://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +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. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way.

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. + +[Illustration: (signature: George Cruikshank)] + +[Illustration: Musical Score] + + + + +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. + +[Illustration: Lord Bateman as he appeared previous to his embarkation.] + +[Illustration: The Turk's only daughter approaches to mitigate the +sufferings of Lord Bateman!--] + + 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!

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.] + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE LOVING BALLAD OF LORD BATEMAN*** + + +******* This file should be named 15618.txt or 15618.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/5/6/1/15618 + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

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: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +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.

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. + diff --git a/15618.zip b/15618.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f772df5 --- /dev/null +++ b/15618.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
