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

by W. S. Gilbert

And Hongree, who was wise as he was good,

Disguised himself that night in ample cloak,

Round flapping hat, and visor mask of black,

And made, unnoticed, for the English camp.

He passed the unsuspecting sentinels

(Who little thought a man in this disguise

Could be a proper object of suspicion),

And ere the curfew-bell had boomed "lights out,"

He found in audience Bedford's haughty Duke.
