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.
