Chapter 17
TYBURN TREE.
Since laws were made for ev'ry degree To curb vice in others as well as me, I wonder we han't better company Upon Tyburn Tree.
From _Beggar's Opera_. Words by _Gay_.
Set to the tune of 'Greensleeves,' which dates from 1580. This tune is twice mentioned by Shakespeare in _The Merry Wives of Windsor_. An earlier 'Tyburn' version is a song entitled 'A Warning to False Traitors,' which refers to the execution of six people at 'Tyborne' on August 30, 1588.
SINCE THE FIRST DAWN OF REASON _J. Davy._
See p. 120.
SONG ABOUT A SPARKLING BOWL (_Ch._)
There are several songs of this nature, such as 'The Flowing Bowl' ('Fill the bowl with sparkling nectar'). Another began 'Fill, fill the bowl with sparkling wine.'
SONG ABOUT THE SLUMBERING ECHOES IN THE CAVERN OF MEMORY (_D.C._ 33)
Not at present traced.
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.
TELL ME, SHEPHERDS (_E.D._ 2) _Mazzinghi._
Glee. 'Ye Shepherds, tell me' (or 'The Wreath').
THE BRAVE OLD OAK (_S.B.S._ 2.)
Words by _H.F. Chorley_. _E.J. Loder._
A song for the oak, the brave old oak, Who hath ruled in the greenwood long; Here's health and renown to his broad green crown, And his fifty arms so strong!
THE BULL IN THE CHINA SHOP
See p. 111.
THE CHERUB THAT SITS UP ALOFT (_U.T._ 5)

THE MILLER OF THE DEE (_O.M.F._ ii. 1)
Words, c. 1762. Tune, 1728.
Referring to a disused boiler and a great iron wheel, Dickens says they are
Like the Miller of questionable jollity in the song. They cared for Nobody, no not they, and Nobody cared for them.
The air is found in _The Quaker's Opera_, 1728.

See p. 98.

THE SOLDIER, TIRED (_S.B.C._ 4) _Arne._
Dr. Arne translated the words from the _Artaserse_ of Metastasio. This song was the great 'show song' for sopranos for many years. It was originally sung by Miss Brent.
The soldier, tired of war's alarms, Forswears the clang of hostile arms, And scorns the spear and shield; But if the brazen trumpet sound, He burns with conquest to be crowned, And dares again the field.
THE WOODPECKER TAPPING (_D.C._ 36, _L.D._ 35, _S.B.T._ 1, _M.C._ 25)

Sung by Mr. Robson and by S. Cowell.
Composer unknown. A very popular song 1850-1860.
It's of a liquor merchant who in London did dwell, He had but one darter, a beautiful gal. Her name it was Dinah, just sixteen years old, And she had a large fortune in silver and gold. To my too-ral-lal loo-ral-li loo-ral-li-day.

The world may think me gay, For my feelings I smother-- Oh! _thou_ hast been the cause Of this anguish, my mother!
WE'RE A'NODDIN' (_B.H._ 39)
_Anonymous._
A once popular Scotch song.
O we're a' noddin, nid nid noddin, O we're a' noddin at our house at home; How's o' wi' ye, kimmer? And how do ye thrive, And how many bairns hae ye now? Bairns I hae five.
WE WON'T GO HOME TILL MORNING (_P.P._ 7)
Said in the _London Singer's Magazine_ (c. 1839) to be written and composed by C. Blondel ('adapted and arranged' might be more correct). The tune is founded on an air known as Malbrough, or Malbrook, which originated during the Duke of Marlborough's campaign, 1704-1709, known as 'The War of the Spanish Succession.'
WHAT ARE THE WILD WAVES SAYING?
Words by _J.E. Carpenter_. _Stephen Glover._
This duet was founded upon the question little Paul Dombey asks his sister:
I want to know what it says--the sea, Floy, what is it that it keeps on saying?

Words by _Moore_.
In _Irish Melodies_ to the air 'The Fox's Sleep.'
WHEN I WENT TO LUNNON TOWN, SIRS (_G.E._ 15)
Probably original. The nearest I have found to it is--
THE ASTONISHED COUNTRYMAN, OR, A BUSTLING PICTURE OF LONDON.
When first I came to London Town, How great was my surprise, Thought I, the world's turned upside down, Such wonders met my eyes.
And in _The Universal Songster_--
When I arrived in London Town, I got my lesson pat, &c.
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.
WHEN THE STORMY WINDS (_D.C._ 21, _D. & S._ 23)
Words by _Campbell_, who may have taken them from an earlier source. See 'You Gentlemen of England.'

YANKEE DOODLE (_U.T._, _A.N._)
Mr. F. Kidson has traced this to 'A selection of Scotch, English, Irish, and Foreign Airs,' published in Glasgow by James Aird, c. 1775 or 1776.
YET LOV'D I AS MAN NE'ER LOVED (_O.C.S._ 50)
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.
