bumpety, bump!
And vowed he would serve them the same the next day;
Lumpety, lumpety, lump!

AN ELEGY

ON THE GLORY OF HER SEX

MRS. MARY BLAIZE

BY

DR. OLIVER GOLDSMITH

[Illustration]

Good people all,
with one accord,
Lament for
Madam Blaize,
Who never wanted
a good word--

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

_From those_

[Illustration]

_who spoke her praise._

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

The needy seldom pass'd her door,
And always found her kind;
She freely lent to all the poor--

[Illustration]

_Who left_

[Illustration]

_a pledge behind._

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

She strove the neighbourhood to please
With manners wondrous winning;

And never follow'd wicked ways--

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

_Unless when she was sinning._

[Illustration]

At church, in silks and satins new,
With hoop of monstrous size,
She never slumber'd in her pew--

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

_But when she shut her eyes._

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

Her love was sought, I do aver,
By twenty beaux and more;
The King himself has follow'd her--

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

_When she has walk'd before._

[Illustration]

But now, her wealth and finery fled,
Her hangers-on cut short-all:
The Doctors found, when she was dead,
_Her last disorder mortal_.

[Illustration]

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_.

THE GREAT PANJANDRUM
HIMSELF

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf

[Illustration]

to make

[Illustration]

an apple-pie;

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

and at the same time a great she-bear, coming down the street, pops its
head into the shop.

[Illustration]

What! no soap?

[Illustration]

So he died,

[Illustration]

and she very imprudently married the Barber:

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

and there were present

[Illustration]

the Picninnies,
and the Joblillies,

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

and the Garyulies,

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

and the great Panjandrum himself, with
the little round
