CHILVERN'S BALLAD—THE MORAL.
Chilvern has got a Ballad which Medford sets to music. It is illustrated by tableaux vivants, performed by Miss Adelaide Cherton, Cazell, and Milburd.
CORPORAL TIM AND FAIR MOLLY.
“Farewell,” cries Corporal Tim.
“Farewell,” said Molly, to him;
“You're going,” says she,
“I'm going,” says he,
“To fight in Tartary Crim.”
(Sadly.) “To fight in Tartary Crim!”
“I see,” sobs Corporal Tim,
“You're eyes with weeping are dim.”
“No, no,” says she,
“Don't stop for me,
But go to Tartary Crim.”
(More sadly.) “Oh! go to Tartary Crim!”
“One word,” says Corporal Tim;
“I have a young friend called Jim,
He'll act to you,
Like a brother would do,
While I'm in Tartary Crim.”
(Most sadly.) “While you're in Tartary Crim.”
“The ship is off!” cried Tim.
He raised his hat by the brim;
He waved it about,
While she sobbed out,
“He's off to Tartary Crim.”
(Frantically.) “He's off to Tartary Crim.”
Now this young man called Jim,
Was strong and not too slim;
He was a tar,
On a man-of-war,
Arrived from Tartary Crim.
(Cheerfully.) Arrived from Tartary Crim.
