NG. [_Late rather one morning_] 240 THE FORTUNE-TELLER'S SONG. [_Britannia is my name_] 243 GYPSY STANZA. [_Can you speak the Roman tongue_?] 254 CHARLOTTE COOPER. [_Old Charlotte I am called_] 259 EPIGRAM. [_A beautiful face and a black wicked mind_] 262 LINES. [_Mickie_, _Huwie and Larry bold_] 272 LINES. [_What care we_, _though we be so small_?] 280 RYLEY BOSVIL. [_The Gorgios seek to hang me_] 296 RYLEY AND THE GYPSY. [_Methinks I see a brother_] 298 TO YOCKY SHURI. [_Beneath the bright sun_, _there is 301 none_, _there is none_] LINES. [_Roman lads Before the door_] 325 Upon page 122 of _Romano Lavo-Lil_, is printed a version of _The Lord's Prayer_ cast into Romany by Borrow. The original Manuscript of this translation has survived, and its text presents some curious variations from the published version. A reduced facsimile of this Manuscript serves as Frontispiece to the present Bibliography. Accompanying the Manuscript of _The Lord's Prayer_ in Romany, is the Manuscript of a translation made by Borrow into the dialect of the English Gypsies. This translation has never, so far as I am aware, appeared in print. It is an interesting document, and well worthy of preservation. A reduced facsimile of it will be found facing the present page. [Picture: Manuscript of The Lord's Prayer] A Second Edition of _Romano Lavo-Lil_ was issued by the same publisher, John Murray, in 1888, and a Third in 1905. There is a copy of the First Edition of _Romano Lavo-Lil_ in the Library of the British Museum. The Press-mark is 2278. c. 15.
