REE (_M.J._) Original. IT MAY LIGHTEN AND STORM (_M.C._ 42) Possibly from some old ballad opera, but more probably original. JACK'S DELIGHT (TO) HIS LOVELY NAN (_D.C._ 11) Words and music by _C. Dibdin_. From 'Lovely Nan.' Last two lines: But oh, much sweeter than all these, Is Jack's delight, his lovely Nan. JIM CROW (_A.N._) _Unknown._ See p. 97. I come from old Kentucky, A long time ago, Where I first larn to wheel about, And jump Jim Crow; Wheel about and turn about, And do jis so, Eb'ry time I wheel about, I jump Jim Crow. JOLLY YOUNG WATERMAN (_It._, _P.P._ 33) Words and music by _C. Dibdin_ in _The Waterman_. KING DEATH (_B.H._ 33) Words by _Barry Cornwall_. _Neukomm._ King Death was a rare old fellow, He sat where no sun could shine, And he lifted his hand so yellow, And pour'd out his coal-black wine. Hurrah for the coal-black wine! John Leech used to sing 'King Death,' and it was of his voice that Jerrold once remarked, 'I say, Leech, if you had the same opportunity of exercising your voice as you have of using your pencil, how it would _draw_!' LESBIA HATH A BEAMING EYE (_Letter to Lemon_) Words by _Moore_. Set to the delightfully gay air 'Nora Creina.' Lesbia hath a beaming eye, But no one knows for whom it beameth, Right and left its arrows fly, But what they aim at no one dreameth! LISTEN TO THE WATERFALL (_B.H._ 32) _Lord Mornington._ From the glee 'Here in cool grot.' LITTLE TAFFLINE (_D.C._ 28) Words by _Prince Hoare_. _S. Storace._ In the opera _Three and The Deuce_, produced in 1806. See pp. 112, 113. There is a character 'Little Taffline' in T. Dibdin's _St. David's Day_, music composed and compiled by Attwood. There is another setting said to be 'composed by J. Parry,' but it is merely an altered form of the original. LOVELY PEG (_D. & S._ 10) See pp. 117-119. MARSEILLAISE (_M.C._ 15, _E.D._ 2, _L.D._ 2) _Rouget de Lisle._ For brief history see _The Choir_ (Nov., 1911) MASANIELLO (_S.B.T._ 9) Opera by _Auber_. See p. 26. MAY WE NE'ER WANT A FRIEND (_D. & S._ 15) See 'When the first dawn of reason.'
