From Sport to Sport (O.C.S. 58)
From ‘Oh no, we never mention her.’
Words by T.H. Bayly.
H.R. Bishop.
From sport to sport they hurry me,
To banish my regret;
And when they win a smile from me,
They think that I forget.
Gee Up, Dobbin (D.C. 12)
In the Burney Collection is a tune ‘Gee Ho, Dobbin.’ Also in Apollo's Cabinet, 1757, Vol. II, and Love in a Village, 1762. The tune was frequently used for ephemeral songs.
It is doubtful if Dickens would know this song, the title of which has passed into a common phrase.
Glorious Apollo (O.C.S. 13, 56)
S. Webbe.
The title of this glee probably suggested the name of the ‘Glorious Apollers.’ See p. [124].

Words by J. Ceiriog Hughes.
Trans, by G. Linley.

God Bless You, Merry Gentlemen (C.C.)
Origin unknown. The second word should be ‘rest,’ and the correct reading is
God rest you merry, gentlemen.
God Save the King (S.B.S. 19, &c.) God Save the Queen (M.C. 29)
It is unnecessary here to discuss the origin and sources of this air. The form in which we know it is probably due to Henry Carey, and the first recorded public performance was on September 28, 1745.
Had I a Heart for Falsehood Framed (D. & S. 14)
Words by R.B. Sheridan.
Sung by Mr. Leoni (see Choir, May, 1912).
In the Duenna, 1775. Set to the air now known as ‘The Harp that once through Tara's Halls.’
Moore, in his Irish Melodies, calls the melody ‘Gramachree.’
Hail Columbia (M.C. 13, A.N.)
Mr. Elson (National Music of America) says that the music was originally known as the ‘President's March,’ probably by a German composer. The words were subsequently adapted to the air by Dr. Joseph Hopkinson.

H.R. Bishop.
And has she then failed in her truth,
The beautiful maid I adore?
Shall I never again hear her voice,
Nor see her lov'd form any more?
Heart of Oak (B.R. 7, E.D. 12, U.T. 20, parody)

It is important to notice that the correct title is as given, and not ‘Hearts of Oak.’
