In life's closing hour, when the trembling soul flies,

found out a padlock to keep a wife true, I've found out a padlock to keep a wife true.

Should the amorous goddess preside o'er your dame,
With the ardours of youth all her passions inflame;
Should her beauty lead captive each softer desire,
And languishing lovers still sigh and admire; [sue,
Yet fearless you'll trust her, though thousands may
When I tell you my padlock to keep a wife true.
Though the husband may think that he wisely
restrains,
[chains,

With his bars, and his bolts, his confinement and
How fatally weak must this artifice prove,-
Can fetters of steel bind like fetters of love?
Throw jealousy hence, bid suspicion adieu,-
Restraint's not the padlock to keep a wife true.

Should her fancy invite to the park or the play,
All complying and kind, you must give her her way,
While her taste and her judgment you fondly approve,
-'Tis reason secures you the treasures of love;
And, believe me, no coxcomb admission can find,
For the fair one is safe if you padlock her mind.
Though her virtues with foibles should frequently
blend,

Let the husband be lost in the lover and friend;
Let doubts and surmises no longer perplex,-
'Tis the charm of indulgence that binds the soft sex,
They ne'er can prove false while this maxim's in view,
Good humour's the padlock to keep a wife true.

MY BOY TAMMY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE LAMMIE.
The Poetry by Hector Macneill.-The Music as sung by Mr. Wilson.

Moderato.

for

Whar hae ye been a' day, My boy Tam - my? Whar hae ye been

a' day,

My boy Tam - my?

I've been by burn and flow-'ry brae, Mea-dow green and

mountain gray, Court-ing o' this young thing, Just come frae her mam - my.

And whar gat ye that young thing,

My boy Tammy?

I got her down in yonder howe,
Smiling on a bonny knowe,
Herding ae wi' lamb and ewe,

For her poor mammy.

What said ye to the bonnie bairn,
My boy Tammy?

I prais'd her een, sae lovely blue,
Her dimpl'd cheek and cherry mou ;-
I pree'd it aft, as ye may trow !—

She said she'd tell her mammy.

I held her to my beating heart,

My young, my smiling lammie! I hae a house, it cost me dear, I've wealth o' plenishen and gear: Ye'se get it a', wer't ten times mair, Gin ye will leave your mammy.

The smile gaed aff her bonnie face

I maunna leave my mammy:
She's gien me meat, she's gien me claise,
She's been my comfort a' my days :-
My father's death brought monie waes-
I canna leave my mammy.

We'll tak her hame and mak her fain,
My ain kind-hearted lammie ;
We'll gie her meat, we'll gie her claise,
We'll be her comfort a' her days.
The wee thing gies her hand, and says—
There! gang and ask my mammy.
Has she been to the kirk wi' thee,

My boy Tammy?

She has been to the kirk wi' me,
And the tear was in her ee:
For, O! she's but a young thing,
Just come frae her mammy.

MOORISH GATHERING-SONG.

Peninsular Melody.-The Poetry by Mrs. Hemans.

Chains on the cities, gloom in the air, Come to the hills, fresh bree - zes are

[merged small][ocr errors]

Silence and fears in the rich orange bow-ers! Come to the rocks whose freedom hath tow❜rs.

Come from the Darro!-chang'd is its tone;
Come where the streams no bondage have known!
Wildly and proudly, foaming, they leap,
Singing of freedom from steep to steep!

Come from Alhambra! garden and grove

Now may not shelter beauty nor love :
Blood on the waters! death 'midst the flowers!
Only the rock and the spear are ours.

Pigs don't read the Morning Post,

Watch-chains are not roasting-jacks; They don't make boots of butter'd toast, Red herrings don't pay powder-tax. So you must all, &c.

Kittens are but little cats,

Mousetraps are not county jails;

Whales are full as large as sprats,

They don't stuff geese with copper nails;

A German waltz is not a hymn,

The French are mostly born in France; Fishes ar'n't afraid to swim,

And turkeys seldom learn to dance.

So you must all, &c.

Twenty turnips make a score,

Dustmen rarely drink champagne ;

A cow's tail seldom grows before,

They don't make wigs of bamboo cane; Dutchmen sometimes lie in beds,

A cabbage cannot dance a jig; Grass does not grow on ladies' heads, A bull-dog need not wear a wig. So you must all, &c.
