PREFACE.
The first two of the children’s books here reproduced
were published in 1878; the last two in 1885, only
a few weeks before Mr. Caldecott’s premature death.
He had not intended to make any further additions to their
number, and the series is consequently complete. Into what new
domain his still-creative genius would have wandered,—for he
was well on the hither side of the period fixed by tradition for
the decline of human invention, and in spite of ill-health, was
gifted with a rare buoyancy and elasticity of temperament,—it is
idle to conjecture. But his gradual development from the tentative
sketches of his early days into the purely individual manner of his
latest work, had been unmistakeable enough to justify the belief that
even higher triumphs might have been reserved to his ripened powers.
Would he not have gained fresh laurels as a designer in some
unfamiliar field?—as a modeller of bas-relief touched with his own
distinctive quality?—as a delicate and dexterous water-colour artist?
None can answer these questions now. But at least he has left us
a definite legacy of accomplished work, for which we can scarcely
be too grateful, since it is unique in kind, and certain to be
enduring in charm.
Of this legacy, the two volumes of “Old Christmas” and
“Bracebridge Hall,” and the present collection of picture-books are
surely the most memorable. In decorating the gentle and kindly
pages of Goldsmith’s American disciple, Mr. Caldecott seems for
the first time to have discovered a fitting outlet of his cherished
memories of the country-side where he was bred, and of the picturesque
old town where he was born;—for those loving studies of animal
life which had delighted him as a boy;—for that feeling for the
old-world in costume and accessory which was a native impulse in
his talent. No books of this century have been so genially, so
loyally, so sympathetically illustrated. And yet these Irving volumes,
however excellent, were but the stepping stones to the artist’s more10
signal successes in nursery literature. “John Gilpin” and “The
Mad Dog” are illustrated books; but they are illustrated books
“with a difference.” Mr. Caldecott found in them his theme, it is
true: but it was a theme upon which his pencil played the most
engaging variations. Who, for example, ever before conceived of
Madam Blaize as a pawnbroker, because—
“She freely lent to all the poor,—
Who left a pledge behind”?
Who, again, had penetrated the hidden secret of that corroding jealousy
which led the dog to bite the prim and impeccable personage who
afterwards so fatally disagreed with him? And where else had
the world been shewn the authentic academic presence,—the very
“form and pressure,”—of “The Great Panjandrum Himself,” “with
the little round button at top;” or imagined the hurly-burly of those
headlong, horn-blowing, cheek-bursting and hopelessly futile “Jovial
Huntsmen”? Nor were these all, or even a tithe of the sportive
surprises, the undreamed disclosures, of these captivating pages.
Around and about them the artist has woven the most humourous
ingenuities, the most freakish and frolicsome fancies; he has set
them in the most inviting framework of town and country; he
has enlisted in his service the most blithe and winsome figures of
women and children, the most irresistible dogs and horses and birds.
The open-air life of England, with all its freshness and breeziness,
its pastoral seduction and its picturesque environment, is everywhere
present in his work. He has the art, too, of being elegant without
being effeminate, and of being tender without being mawkish. It
was said of a great English novelist that his laugh clears the
air; it may be said of these light-hearted pictures that their mirth
clears not only the air but the imagination. No taint clings to
them of morbid affectation or sickly sentiment: they are the genuine
pictorial utterances of a manly, happy nature, delighting in beauty,
delighting in innocent pleasure, and dowered as few English artists
have been with the gifts of refinement and grace.

THE DIVERTING HISTORY
OF
JOHN GILPIN:
Showing how he went farther than he intended, and came safe home again.
WRITTEN BY Wm. COWPER
WITH DRAWINGS BY R. CALDECOTT
John Gilpin was a citizen
Of credit and renown,
A train-band captain eke was he,
Of famous London town.
John Gilpin’s spouse said to her dear,
“Though wedded we have been
These twice ten tedious years, yet we
No holiday have seen.
“To-morrow is our wedding-day,
And we will then repair
Unto the ‘Bell’ at Edmonton,
All in a chaise and pair.
“My sister, and my sister’s child,
Myself, and children three,
Will fill the chaise; so you must ride
On horseback after we.”
52
The Linendraper bold
He soon replied, “I do admire
Of womankind but one,
And you are she, my dearest dear,
Therefore it shall be done.
“I am a linendraper bold,
As all the world doth know,
And my good friend the calender
Will lend his horse to go.”
53
Quoth Mrs. Gilpin, “That’s well said;
And for that wine is dear,
We will be furnished with our own,
Which is both bright and clear.”
John Gilpin kissed his loving wife;
O’erjoyed was he to find,
That though on pleasure she was bent,
She had a frugal mind.
54
55
The morning came, the chaise was brought,
But yet was not allowed
To drive up to the door, lest all
Should say that she was proud.
So three doors off the chaise was stayed,
Where they all did get in;
Six precious souls, and all agog
To dash through thick and thin.
Smack went the whip, round went the wheels,
Were never folks so glad!
The stones did rattle underneath,
As if Cheapside were mad.
John Gilpin at his horse’s side
Seized fast the flowing mane,
And up he got, in haste to ride,
But soon came down again;
For saddletree scarce reached had he,
His journey to begin,
When, turning round his head, he saw
Three customers come in.
So down he came; for loss of time,
Although it grieved him sore,
Yet loss of pence, full well he knew,
Would trouble him much more.
The 3 customers
56
’Twas long before the customers
Were suited to their mind,
When Betty screaming came downstairs,
“The wine is left behind!”
“Good lack!” quoth he, “yet bring it me,
My leathern belt likewise,
In which I bear my trusty sword
When I do exercise.”
Now Mistress Gilpin (careful soul!)
Had two stone bottles found,
To hold the liquor that she loved,
And keep it safe and sound.
Each bottle had a curling ear,
Through which the belt he drew,
And hung a bottle on each side,
To make his balance true.
Then over all, that he might be
Equipped from top to toe,
His long red cloak, well brushed and neat,
He manfully did throw.
57
Now see him mounted once again
Upon his nimble steed,
Full slowly pacing o’er the stones,
With caution and good heed.
But finding soon a smoother road
Beneath his well-shod feet,
The snorting beast began to trot,
Which galled him in his seat.
58
“So, fair and softly!” John he cried,
But John he cried in vain;
That trot became a gallop soon,
In spite of curb and rein.
So stooping down, as needs he must
Who cannot sit upright,
He grasped the mane with both his hands,
And eke with all his might.
His horse, who never in that sort
Had handled been before,
What thing upon his back had got,
Did wonder more and more.
Away went Gilpin, neck or nought;
Away went hat and wig;
He little dreamt, when he set out,
Of running such a rig.
The wind did blow, the cloak did fly
Like streamer long and gay,
Till, loop and button failing both,
At last it flew away.
59
Then might all people well discern
The bottles he had slung;
A bottle swinging at each side,
As hath been said or sung.
The dogs did bark, the children screamed,
Up flew the windows all;
And every soul cried out, “Well done!”
As loud as he could bawl.
Away went Gilpin—who but he?
His fame soon spread around;
“He carries weight! he rides a race!
’Tis for a thousand pound!”
And still as fast as he drew near,
’Twas wonderful to view
How in a trice the turnpike-men
Their gates wide open threw.
60
62
And now, as he went bowing down
His reeking head full low,
The bottles twain behind his back
Were shattered at a blow.
Down ran the wine into the road,
Most piteous to be seen,
Which made the horse’s flanks to smoke,
As they had basted been.
63
But still he seemed to carry weight,
With leathern girdle braced;
For all might see the bottle-necks
Still dangling at his waist.
64
Thus all through merry Islington
These gambols he did play,
Until he came unto the Wash
Of Edmonton so gay;
65
And there he threw the wash about
On both sides of the way,
Just like unto a trundling mop,
Or a wild goose at play.
66
At Edmonton his loving wife
From the balcony spied
Her tender husband, wondering much
To see how he did ride.
“Stop, stop, John Gilpin!—Here’s the house!”
They all at once did cry;
“The dinner waits, and we are tired;”
Says Gilpin—“So am I!”
But yet his horse was not a whit
Inclined to tarry there;
For why?—his owner had a house
Full ten miles off, at Ware.
So like an arrow swift he flew.
Shot by an archer strong;
So he did fly—which brings me to
The middle of my song.
67
68
Away went Gilpin, out of breath,
And sore against his will,
Till at his friend the calender’s
His horse at last stood still.
The calender, amazed to see
His neighbour in such trim,
Laid down his pipe, flew to the gate,
And thus accosted him:
“What news? what news? your tidings tell;
Tell me you must and shall—
Say why bareheaded you are come,
Or why you come at all?”
Now Gilpin had a pleasant wit,
And loved a timely joke;
And thus unto the calender
In merry guise he spoke:
69
“I came because your horse would come:
And, if I well forebode,
My hat and wig will soon be here,
They are upon the road.”
The calender, right glad to find
His friend in merry pin,
Returned him not a single word,
But to the house went in;
Whence straight he came with hat and wig,
A wig that flowed behind,
A hat not much the worse for wear,
Each comely in its kind.
He held them up, and in his turn
Thus showed his ready wit:
“My head is twice as big as yours,
They therefore needs must fit.”
70
“But let me scrape the dirt away,
That hangs upon your face;
And stop and eat, for well you may
Be in a hungry case.”
Said John, “It is my wedding-day,
And all the world would stare
If wife should dine at Edmonton,
And I should dine at Ware.”
So turning to his horse, he said,
“I am in haste to dine;
’Twas for your pleasure you came here,
You shall go back for mine.”
Ah! luckless speech, and bootless boast!
For which he paid full dear;
For while he spake, a braying ass
Did sing most loud and clear;
Whereat his horse did snort, as he
Had heard a lion roar,
And galloped off with all his might,
As he had done before.
71
72
Away went Gilpin, and away
Went Gilpin’s hat and wig;
He lost them sooner than at first,
For why?—they were too big.
Now Mistress Gilpin, when she saw
Her husband posting down
Into the country far away,
She pulled out half-a-crown;
And thus unto the youth she said
That drove them to the “Bell,”
“This shall be yours when you bring back
My husband safe and well.”
73
The youth did ride, and soon did meet
John coming back amain;
Whom in a trice he tried to stop,
By catching at his rein.
But not performing what he meant,
And gladly would have done,
The frighted steed he frighted more,
And made him faster run.
74
Away went Gilpin, and away
Went postboy at his heels,
The postboy’s horse right glad to miss
The lumbering of the wheels.
Six gentlemen upon the road,
Thus seeing Gilpin fly,
With postboy scampering in the rear,
They raised the hue and cry.
75
“Stop thief! stop thief! a highwayman!”
Not one of them was mute;
And all and each that passed that way
Did join in the pursuit.
76
78
And now the turnpike-gates again
Flew open in short space;
the toll-men thinking, as before,
That Gilpin rode a race.
And so he did, and won it too,
For he got first to town;
Nor stopped till where he had got up,
He did again get down.
79
Now let us sing, Long live the King,
And Gilpin, long live he;
And when he next doth ride abroad,
May I be there to see.

86
Good people all, of every sort,
Give ear unto my song;
And if you find it wondrous short.
87
88
89
In Islington there lived a man,
Of whom the world might say,
That still a godly race he ran,
90
91
92
93
A kind and gentle heart he had,
To comfort friends and foes;
The naked every day he clad,
94
95
96
And in that town a dog was found:
As many dogs there be——
Both mongrel, puppy, whelp,
97
98
This dog and man at first were friends;
99
100
The dog, to gain some private ends,
Went mad, and bit the man.
101
102
103
104
The wondering neighbours ran;
105
106
And swore the dog had lost his wits,
107
108
The wound it seem’d both sore and sad
To every christian eye;
109
110
And while they swore the dog was mad,
111
They swore the man would die.
112
But soon a wonder came to light,
That show’d the rogues they lied—
The man recover’d of the bite;
The dog it was that died.

The Babes in the Wood.
118
SORE SICKE THEY WERE AND LIKE TO DYE
119
Now ponder well, you parents deare,
These wordes which I shall write;
A doleful story you shall heare,
In time brought forth to light.
A gentleman of good account
In Norfolke dwelt of late,
Who did in honour far surmount
Most men of his estate.
Sore sicke he was, and like to dye,
No helpe his life could save;
His wife by him as sicke did lye,
And both possest one grave.
120
No love between these two was lost,
Each was to other kinde;
In love they liv’d, in love they dyed,
And left two babes behinde:
The one a fine and pretty boy,
Not passing three yeares olde;
The other a girl more young than he,
And fram’d in beautye’s molde.
121
The father left his little son,
As plainlye doth appeare,
When he to perfect age should come,
Three hundred poundes a yeare.
And to his little daughter Jane
Five hundred poundes in gold,
To be paid downe on marriage-day,
Which might not be controll’d:
But if the children chanced to dye,
Ere they to age should come,
Their uncle should possesse their wealth;
For so the wille did run.
122
Now, Brother, said the dying man, LOOK TO MY CHILDREN DEARE.
123
“Now, brother,” said the dying man,
“Look to my children deare;
Be good unto my boy and girl,
No friendes else have they here:
“To God and you I do commend
My children deare this daye;
But little while be sure we have
Within this world to staye.
“You must be father and mother both,
And uncle all in one;
God knowes what will become of them,
When I am dead and gone.”
124
With that bespake their mother deare:
“O brother kinde,” quoth shee,
“You are the man must bring our babes
To wealth or miserie:
125
“And if you keep them carefully,
Then God will you reward;
But if you otherwise should deal,
God will your deedes regard.”
126
WITH LIPPES AS COLD AS ANY STONE, THEY KIST THE CHILDREN SMALL
127
With lippes as cold as any stone,
They kist the children small:
“God bless you both, my children deare;”
With that the teares did fall.
128
These speeches then their brother spake
To this sicke couple there:
“The keeping of your little ones,
Sweet sister, do not feare:
129
“God never prosper me nor mine,
Nor aught else that I have,
If I do wrong your children deare,
When you are layd in grave.”
130
Their Parents being dead & gone, The Children home he takes.
131
The parents being dead and gone,
The children home he takes,
And bringes them straite unto his house,
Where much of them he makes.
132
He had not kept these pretty babes
A twelvemonth and a daye,
But, for their wealth, he did devise
To make them both awaye.
133
He bargain’d with two ruffians strong,
Which were of furious mood,
That they should take the children young,
And slaye them in a wood.
134
He told his wife an artful tale,
He would the children send
To be brought up in faire London,
With one that was his friend.
Away then went those pretty babes,
Rejoycing at that tide,
Rejoycing with a merry minde,
They should on cock-horse ride.
135
Away then went the Pretty Babes Rejoycing at that Tide
136
They prate and prattle pleasantly
As they rode on the waye,
To those that should their butchers be,
And work their lives’ decaye:
137
So that the pretty speeche they had,
Made murderers’ heart relent;
And they that undertooke the deed,
Full sore did now repent.
Yet one of them, more hard of heart,
Did vow to do his charge,
Because the wretch, that hired him,
Had paid him very large.
138
The other would not agree thereto,
So here they fell to strife;
With one another they did fight,
About the children’s life:
And he that was of mildest mood
Did slaye the other there,
Within an unfrequented wood,
Where babes did quake for feare!
139
AND HE THAT WAS OF MILDEST MOOD
DID SLAYE THE OTHER THERE
140
He took the children by the hand,
While teares stood in their eye,
And bade them come and go with him,
And look they did not crye:
141
And two long miles he ledd them on,
While they for food complaine:
“Stay here,” quoth he, “I’ll bring ye bread,
When I come back againe.”
142
These prettye babes, with hand in hand,
Went wandering up and downe;
But never more they sawe the man
Approaching from the town.
143
144
Their prettye lippes with blackberries
Were all besmear’d and dyed;
145
And when they sawe the darksome night,
They sat them downe and cryed.
Thus wandered these two prettye babes,
Till death did end their grief;
In one another’s armes they dyed,
As babes wanting relief.
146
No burial these prettye babes
Of any man receives,
Till Robin-redbreast painfully
Did cover them with leaves.
147
In one another’s arms they dyed.

The Three Jovial Huntsmen.
154
155
It’s of three jovial huntsmen, an’ a hunting they did go;
An’ they hunted, an’ they hollo’d, an’ they blew their horns also.
Look ye there!
156
An’ one said, “Mind yo’r e’en, an’ keep yo’r noses reet i’ th’ wind.
157
An’ then, by scent or seet, we’ll leet o’ summat to our mind.”
Look ye there!
158
159
They hunted, an’ they hollo’d, an’ the first thing they did find
Was a tatter’t boggart, in a field, an’ that they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a boggart, an’ another he said “Nay;
It’s just a ge’man-farmer, that has gone an’ lost his way.”
Look ye there!
160
161
162
163
They hunted, an’ they hollo’d, an’ the next thing they did find
Was a gruntin’, grindin’ grindlestone, an’ that they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a grindlestone, another he said “Nay;
It’s nought but an’ owd fossil cheese, that somebody’s roll’t away.”
Look ye there!
164
165
166
167
They hunted, an’ they hollo’d, an’ the next thing they did find
Was a bull-calf in a pin-fold, an’ that, too, they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a bull-calf, an’ another he said “Nay;
It’s just a painted jackass, that has never larnt to bray.”
Look ye there!
168
169
170
They hunted, an’ they hollo’d, an’ the next thing they did find
Was a two-three children leaving school, an’ these they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said that they were children, but another he said “Nay;
They’re no’ but little angels, so we’ll leave ’em to their play.”
Look ye there!

174
They hunted, an’ they hollo’d, an’ the next thing they did find
Was a fat pig smiling in a ditch, an’ that, too, they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a fat pig, but another he said “Nay;
It’s just a Lunnon Alderman, whose clothes are stole away.”
Look ye there!
175
176
177
178
They hunted, an’ they hollo’d, an’ the next thing they did find
Was two young lovers in a lane, an’ these they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said that they were lovers, but another he said “Nay;
They’re two poor wanderin’ lunatics come, let us go away.”
Look ye there!
179
180
181
182
So they hunted, an’ they hollo’d, till the setting of the sun;
An’ they’d nought to bring away at last, when th’ huntin’-day was done.
Look ye there!
Then one unto the other said, “This huntin’ doesn’t pay;
But we’n powler’t up an’ down a bit, an’ had a rattlin’ day.”
Look ye there!

A Frog He Would a-Wooing Go.
346
347
A Frog he would a-wooing go,
Heigho, says Rowley!
Whether his Mother would let him or no.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
348
So off he set with his opera-hat,
Heigho, says Rowley!
And on his way he met with a Rat.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley.
349
“Pray, Mr. Rat, will you go with me,”
Heigho, says Rowley!
“Pretty Miss Mousey for to see?”
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
350
351
Now they soon arrived at Mousey’s Hall,
Heigho, says Rowley!
And gave a loud knock, and gave a loud call.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
352
“Pray, Miss Mousey, are you within?”
Heigho, says Rowley!
“Oh, yes, kind Sirs, I’m sitting to spin.”
353
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
354
355
“Pray, Miss Mouse, will you give us some beer?”
Heigho, says Rowley!
“For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer.”
356
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
357
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
358
359
“Pray, Mr. Frog, will you give us a song?”
Heigho, says Rowley!
“But let it be something that’s not very long.”
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
360
“Indeed, Miss Mouse,” replied Mr. Frog,
Heigho, says Rowley!
“A cold has made me as hoarse as a Hog.”
With a rowley-powley, Gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
361
“Since you have caught cold,” Miss Mousey said,
Heigho, says Rowley!
“I’ll sing you a song that I have just made.”
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
362
But while they were all thus a merry-making,
Heigho, says Rowley!
A Cat and her Kittens came tumbling in.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
363
364
The Cat she seized the Rat by the crown;
Heigho, says Rowley!
The Kittens they pulled the little Mouse down.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
365
This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright;
Heigho, says Rowley!
He took up his hat, and he wished them good night.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
366
But as Froggy was crossing a silvery brook,
Heigho, says Rowley!
A lily-white Duck came and gobbled him up.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
367
368
So there was an end of one, two, and three,
Heigho, says Rowley!
The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Frog-gee!
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!

The Huntsman blows his horn in the morn,

374
375
376
377
The Fox jumps over the Parson’s gate,
And the Hounds all after him go,
And the Hounds all after him go,
And the Hounds all after him go.
But all my fancy dwells on Nancy,
So I’ll cry, Tally-ho!
So I’ll cry, Tally-ho!
378
379
380
381
Now the Parson had a pair to wed
As the Hounds came full in view
He tossed his surplice over his head,
And bid them all adieu!
But all my fancy dwelt on Nancy,
So he cried, Tally-ho!
So he cried, Tally-ho!
382
383
384
Oh! never despise the soldier-lad
Though his station be but low,
Though his station be but low,
Though his station be but low.
But all my fancy dwells on Nancy,
So I’ll cry, Tally-ho!
385
386
387
388
389
Then pass around the can, my boys;
For we must homewards go,
For we must homewards go,
For we must homewards go.
And if you ask me of this song
The reason for to shew,
I don’t exactly know—ow ow,
I don’t exactly know.
390
391
392
But all my fancy dwells on Nancy,
So I’ll sing, Tally-ho!
So I’ll sing, Tally-ho!
But all my fancy dwells on Nancy,
So I’ll sing, TALLY-HO!

Come Lasses and Lads.
400
401
Come Lasses and Lads, get leave of your Dads,
And away to the May-pole hey:
402
For every he
Has got him a she,
With a Minstrel standing by.
403
For Willy has gotten his Jill,
And Johnny has got his Jone,
To jigg it, jigg it, jigg it, jigg it,
Jigg it up and down.
404
405
“Strike up,” says Watt; “Agreed,” says Kate,
“And I prithee, Fiddler, play;”
“Content,” says Hodge, and so says Madge,
For this is a Holiday!
Then every man did put his hat off to his lass.
And every girl did curchy, curchy, curchy on the grass.
406
“Begin,” says Hall; “Ay, ay,” says Mall,
“We’ll lead up Pockington’s pound;”
“No, no,” says Noll, and so says Doll,
“We’ll first have Sellenger’s round.”
407
Then every man began
to foot it round about.
And every girl did jet it,
Jet it, jet it in and out.
408
409
“You’re out,” says Dick; “Not I,” says Nick,
“The Fiddler played it false;”
“’Tis true,” says Hugh, and so says Sue,
And so says nimble Alice.
The Fiddler then began to play the tune again,
And every girl did trip it,
Trip it, trip it to the men.
410
411
412
Then after an hour, they went to a bower,
And played for ale and cakes.
And kisses too—until they were due
the lasses held the stakes.
413
414
The girls did then begin to quarrel with the men,
And bid them take their kisses back,
and give them their own again.
And bid them take their kisses back,
and give them their own again.
415
416
Now there they did stay the whole of the day,
And tired the Fiddler quite,
With singing and playing, without any paying,
From morning until night.
417
418
They told the Fiddler then,
they’d pay him for his play,
419
And each a 2-pence, 2-pence, 2-pence,
gave him and went away.
420
421
“Good-night,” says Harry; “Good-night,” says Mary;
“Good-night,” says Dolly to John;”
“Good-night,” says Sue, to her sweetheart Hugh,
“Good-night,” says everyone.
Some walked and some did run, Some loitered on the way,
And bound themselves, by kisses twelve, To meet the next Holiday.
And bound themselves, by kisses twelve, To meet the next Holiday.

With his Daughter behind him, so rosy and fair;
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
439

A Raven cried “Croak!” and they all tumbled down;
Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
The Mare broke her knees, and the Farmer his crown.
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!

451
An Elegy
ON THE GLORY OF HER SEX
Mrs. Mary Blaize.
BY
Dr. OLIVER GOLDSMITH.
452
453
Good people all, with one accord,
Lament for Madam Blaize,
Who never wanted a good word——
454
455
456
The needy seldom pass’d her door,
And always found her kind;
She freely lent to all the poor——
457
458
459
460
461
She strove the neighbourhood to please
With manners wondrous winning;
462
And never follow’d wicked ways——
463
Unless when she was sinning.
464
At church, in silks and satins new,
With hoop of monstrous size,
She never slumber’d in her pew——
465
466
But when she shut her eyes.
467
468
Her love was sought, I do aver,
By twenty beaux and more;
The King himself has follow’d her—
469
470
When she has walk’d before.
471
472
But now, her wealth and finery fled,
Her hangers-on cut short-all:
The Doctors found, when she was dead—
Her last disorder mortal.
Let us lament, in sorrow sore,
For Kent Street well may say,
That had she lived a twelvemonth more,—
She had not died to-day.

477
The Great Panjandrum
Himself.
478
479
So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf
480
481
482
483
and at the same time a great she-bear, coming down
the street, pops its head into the shop.
484
485
486
487
and she very imprudently married the Barber:
488
489
490
the Picninnies,
and the Joblillies,
491
492
493
494
495
and the great Panjandrum himself, with the little round
button at top;
496
497
498
and they all fell to playing the game of catch-as-catch-can,
till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.

Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, unbalanced or missing
quotation marks, and spelling were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected.
Text within illustrations is shown here as captions.
The book is a collection of four other books. The
illustrations include the covers of those books, and
some of those covers include the names of the stories
within them. Those names are not necessarily in the
sequence in which the stories appear.
When it was unclear whether multiple lines of verse
were split because of lack of space or because they
were separate verses, the splits have been retained.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
