The Bab Ballads, with Which Are Included Songs of a Savoyard

by W. S. Gilbert

Of addressing a British Jury—

But I soon got tired of third-class journeys,

And dinners of bread and water;

So I fell in love with a rich attorney's

Elderly, ugly daughter.

The rich attorney, he wiped his eyes,

And replied to my fond professions:

"You shall reap the reward of your enterprise,

At the Bailey and Middlesex Sessions.
