Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 105, August 19th 1893
The churl in nature up and down is perennial and ubiquitous. Like the god Vishnu, he has many avatars. Every new development of popular pastime (for instance) developes its own particular species of Cad. Leech's Galloping Snob of a quarter of a century ago has been succeeded by that Jehu of the Bike, the Cycling Cad, to whose endearing manners and customs in the Queen's highway, and elsewhere, the long-suffering pedestrian is persuaded a laggard Law will shortly have to find its attention urgently directed. Mr. Punch , who is of the same opinion, adapts Mr. Harry Dacre's popular song to what he is convinced will be a popular purpose.
Perturbed Pedestrian sings :—
There is a fear within my heart,
Blazy! Blazy!
Planted one day with a demon dart.
Planted by Blazy Bill.
Whether he'll kill me, or kill me not,
Smash me or only spill,
Little I know, but I'd give a lot
To be rescued from Blazy Bill.
Chorus —
Various
