Charles Dickens and Music

by James T. Lightwood

When in Death I Shall Calm Recline

Moore's Irish Melodies.

In 1833 Dickens wrote a travesty called O' Thello, in which is a humorous solo of eight lines, to be sung to the air to which the above is set.

When Lovely Woman Stoops to Folly (O.C.S. 56)

‘Do my pretty Olivia,’ cried she, ‘let us have that little melancholy air your papa was so fond of; your sister Sophy has already obliged us. Do, child, it will please your old father.’ She complied in a manner so exquisitely pathetic, as moved me.

When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds, too late, that men betray,
What charm can soothe her melancholy?
What art can wash her guilt away?

(Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, ch. xxiv.)

When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds, too late, that men betray,
What charm can soothe her melancholy?
What art can wash her guilt away?

(Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, ch. xxiv.)

When the Heart of a Man (D.C. 24, O.M.F. iii. 14)

Words by Gay (Beggar's Opera). Set to a seventeenth-century air.

If the heart of a man is depressed with care,
The mist is dispelled when a woman appears,
Like the notes of a fiddle she sweetly, sweetly
Raises our spirits and charms our ears.

When the Stormy Winds (D.C. 21, D. & S. 23)

Words by Campbell, who may have taken them from an earlier source. See ‘[You Gentlemen of England].’

White Sand (L.D. i. 32)

An old glee. See p. [106].

Who Passes by This Road so Late (L.D. i. 1)

(Blandois' Song.)

Words by C. Dickens.

H.R.S. Dalton.

An old French children's singing game. Dickens' words are a literal translation. See Eighty Singing Games (Kidson and Moffat).

Who Ran to Catch Me When I Fell (O.C.S. 38)

From Ann Taylor's nursery song ‘My Mother.’

Wife Shall Dance and I Will Sing, so Merrily Pass the Day

From ‘Begone, dull care’ ([q.v.]).

Will Watch, the Bold Smuggler (Out of Season)

John Davy.

Yankee Doodle (U.T., A.N.)

Mr. F. Kidson has traced this to ‘A selection of Scotch, English, Irish, and Foreign Airs,’ published in Glasgow by James Aird, c. 1775 or 1776.

Yet Lov'd I as Man Ne'er Loved (O.C.S. 50)

Words by William Mee.

Millard.

From ‘Alice Gray.’

She's all my fancy painted her,
She's lovely, she's divine,
But her heart it is another's,
It never can be mine.
Yet lov'd I as ne'er man loved,
A love without decay,
Oh my heart, my heart is breaking,
For the love of Alice Gray!

‘Alice Gray.’ A ballad, sung by Miss Stephens, Miss Palon, and Miss Grant. Composed and inscribed to Mr. A. Pettet by Mrs. Philip Millard.

Published by A. Pettet, Hanway Street.

You Gentlemen of England (D. & S. 23)

Old English Ballad.

A seventeenth-century song, the last line of each verse being ‘When the stormy winds do blow.’

Young Love Lived Once (S.B.S. 20)

In Sketches by Boz this sentence occurs:

‘When we say a “shed” we do not mean the conservatory kind of building which, according to the old song, Love frequented when a young man.’

The song referred to is by T. Moore.

Young love lived once in a humble shed,
Where roses breathing,
And woodbines wreathing,
Around the lattice their tendrils spread,
As wild and sweet as the life he led.

It is one of the songs in M.P., or The Blue-Stocking, a comic opera in three acts.
