Even though unforgiving, never
'Gainst thee shall my heart rebel.
About 1825 the words were set to an air from Mozart's _La
Clemenza di Tito_. There are original settings by Parke,
S. Webbe, and six other composers.
FILL THE BUMPER FAIR (_N.T._)
Moore's _Irish Melodies_, air 'Bob and Joan.'
FLOW ON, THOU SHINING RIVER (_S.B.T._ 1)
Moore's _National Melodies_.
Said to be a 'Portuguese Air.' The melody has been utilized
as a hymn-tune.
FLY, FLY FROM THE WORLD, MY BESSY, WITH ME (_S.B.S._ 2)
Words and music by _T. Moore_.
FOR ENGLAND
See 'Death of Nelson.'
FOR ENGLAND, HOME, AND BEAUTY
See 'Death of Nelson.'
FOR THE PORT OF BARBADOS, BOYS (_D. & S._ 15)
Original (?) See p. 122.
FROM SPORT TO SPORT (_O.C.S._ 58)
From 'Oh no, we never mention her.'
Words by _T.H. Bayly_. _H.R. Bishop._
From sport to sport they hurry me,
To banish my regret;
And when they win a smile from me,
They think that I forget.
GEE UP, DOBBIN (_D.C._ 12)
In the Burney Collection is a tune 'Gee Ho, Dobbin.' Also in
_Apollo's Cabinet_, 1757, Vol. II, and _Love in a Village_,
1762. The tune was frequently used for ephemeral songs.
It is doubtful if Dickens would know this song, the title of
which has passed into a common phrase.
GLORIOUS APOLLO (_O.C.S._ 13, 56)
_S. Webbe._
The title of this glee probably suggested the name of the
'Glorious Apollers.' See p. 124.
GO WHERE GLORY WAITS THEE (_M.C._ 11)
('Do they often go where glory waits 'em?' _O.C.S._ 58)
Moore's _Irish Melodies_, set to the air 'Maid of the Valley.'
GOD BLESS THE PRINCE OF WALES (_U.T._ 29)
Words by _J. Ceiriog Hughes_.
Trans, by G. Linley. _H. Brinley Richards_, 1862.
GOD BLESS YOU, MERRY GENTLEMEN (_C.C._)
Origin unknown. The second word should be 'rest,' and the
correct reading is
God rest you merry, gentlemen.
GOD SAVE THE KING (_S.B.S._ 19, &c.)
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN (_M.C._ 29)
It is unnecessary here to discuss the origin and sources of
this air. The form in which we know it is probably due to
Henry Carey, and the first recorded public performance was on
September 28, 1745.
HAD I A HEART FOR FALSEHOOD FRAMED (_D. & S._ 14)
Words by _R.B. Sheridan_.
Sung by Mr. Leoni (see _Choir_, May, 1912).
In the _Duenna_, 1775. Set to the air now known as 'T
