STREW THEN, OH STREW A BED OF RUSHES (O.C.S. 65)

Words and music by Moore.

From the glee 'Holy be the Pilgrim's Sleep,' which is a sequel to 'Oh Lady Fair' (q.v.).

Moore wrote two inane songs, entitled 'Holy be the Pilgrim's Sleep' and 'Oh Lady Fair.' For both pilgrim and lady arrangements are made for spending the night somewhere, and in each song occur the words

Strew then, oh strew his [our] bed of rushes, Here he shall [we must] rest till morning blushes.

TAMAROO (M.C. 32)

Said to be taken from an English ballad in which it is supposed to express the bold and fiery nature of a certain hackney coachman.

According to Notes and Queries (x. 1), this was sung at Winchester School some seventy or eighty years ago.

The following is quoted as the first verse:

Ben he was a coachman rare ('Jarvey! Jarvey!' 'Here I am, yer honour'), Crikey! how he used to swear! How he'd swear, and how he'd drive, Number two hundred and sixty-five. Tamaroo! Tamaroo! Tamaroo!

Dr. Sweeting, the present music-master at Winchester, says, 'The song "Tamaroo" is quite unknown here now, and if it was sung here seventy or eighty years ago, I should imagine that that was only because it was generally well known. Dickens' allusion to it seems to suggest that it was a song he had heard, and he utilized its character to label one of his characters in his own fanciful way.'

TARRY TROUSERS (D. & S. 39)

An old folk-song. A mother wants her daughter to marry a tailor, and not wait for her sailor bold, telling her that it is quite time she was a bride. The daughter says:

My mother wants me to wed with a tailor, And not give me my heart's delight, But give me the man with the tarry trousers, That shine to me like diamonds bright.

Words, c. 1762. Tune, 1728.

Said in the London Singer's Magazine (c. 1839) to be written and composed by C. Blondel ('adapted and arranged' might be more correct).

WHEN IN DEATH I SHALL CALM RECLINE

Moore's Irish Melodies.

In 1833 Dickens wrote a travesty called O' Thello, in which is a humorous solo of eight lines, to be sung to the air to which the above is set.

WHEN LOVELY WOMAN STOOPS TO FOLLY (O.C.S. 56)

'Do my pretty Olivia,' cried she, 'let us have that little melancholy air your papa was so fond of; your sister Sophy has already obliged us. Do, child, it will please your old father.' She complied in a manner so exquisitely pathetic, as moved me.

When lovely woman stoops to folly, And finds, too late, that men betray, What charm can soothe her melancholy? What art can wash her guilt away?

(Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, ch. xxiv.)

WHEN THE HEART OF A MAN (D.C. 24, O.M.F. iii. 14)

Words by Gay (Beggar's Opera). Set to a seventeenth-century air.

If the heart of a man is depressed with care, The mist is dispelled when a woman appears, Like the notes of a fiddle she sweetly, sweetly Raises our spirits and charms our ears.

Words by William Mee. Millard.

From 'Alice Gray.'

She's all my fancy painted her, She's lovely, she's divine, But her heart it is another's, It never can be mine. Yet lov'd I as ne'er man loved, A love without decay, Oh my heart, my heart is breaking, For the love of Alice Gray!

'Alice Gray.' A ballad, sung by Miss Stephens, Miss Palon, and Miss Grant. Composed and inscribed to Mr. A. Pettet by Mrs. Philip Millard.

Published by A. Pettet, Hanway Street.

YOU GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND (D. & S. 23)

Old English Ballad.

A seventeenth-century song, the last line of each verse being 'When the stormy winds do blow.'

YOUNG LOVE LIVED ONCE (S.B.S. 20)

In Sketches by Boz this sentence occurs:

'When we say a "shed" we do not mean the conservatory kind of building which, according to the old song, Love frequented when a young man.'

The song referred to is by T. Moore.

Young love lived once in a humble shed, Where roses breathing, And woodbines wreathing, Around the lattice their tendrils spread, As wild and sweet as the life he led.

It is one of the songs in M.P., or The Blue-Stocking, a comic opera in three acts.
