MY BOY HOBBIE O.
New Song to the tune of "Whare hae ye been a' day, My boy Tammy O? Courting o' a young thing Just come frae her Mammie O."
1.
How came you in Hob's pound to cool, My boy Hobbie O? ​Because I bade the people pull The House into the Lobby O.
2.
What did the House upon this call, My boy Hobbie O? They voted me to Newgate all, Which is an awkward Jobby O.
3.
Who are now the people's men, My boy Hobbie O? There's I and Burdett—Gentlemen And blackguard Hunt and Cobby O.
4.
You hate the house—why canvass, then? My boy Hobbie O? Because I would reform the den As member for the Mobby O.
5.
Wherefore do you hate the Whigs, My boy Hobbie O? Because they want to run their rigs, As under Walpole Bobby O.
6.
But when we at Cambridge were My boy Hobbie O, If my memory dont err You founded a Whig Clubbie O.
7.
When to the mob you make a speech, My boy Hobbie O, How do you keep without their reach The watch within your fobby O?
8.
But never mind such petty things, My boy Hobbie O; God save the people—damn all Kings, So let us Crown the Mobby O!

ON LORD THURLOWS POEMS.

And since not even our Rogers' praise To common sense his thoughts could raise— Why would they let him print his lays?

And thus to furnish decent lining, My own and others' bays I'm twining,— So, gentle Thurlow, throw me thine in.
June 2, 1813. [First published, Letters and Journals, 1830, i. 396.]
* ↑ [One evening, in the late spring or early summer of 1813, Byron and Moore supped on bread and cheese with Rogers. Their host had just received from Lord Thurlow [Edward Hovell Thurlow, [1781-1829] a copy of his Poems on Several Occasions (1813), and Byron lighted upon some lines to Rogers, "On the Poem of Mr. Rogers, entitled 'An Epistle to a Friend."' The first stanza ran thus— "When Rogers o'er this labour bent, Their purest fire the Muses lent, T' illustrate this sweet argument." "Byron," says Moore, "undertook to read it aloud;—but he found it impossible to get beyond the first two words. Our laughter had now increased to such a pitch that nothing could restrain it. Two or three times he began; but no sooner had the words 'When Rogers' passed his lips, than our fit burst forth afresh,—till even Mr. Rogers himself ... found it impossible not to join us. A day or two after, Lord Byron sent me the following:—'My dear Moore, "When Rogers" must not see the enclosed, which I send for your perusal.'"—Life, p. 181; Letters, 1898, ii. 211-213, note 1.] Thurlow's poems are by no means contemptible. A sonnet, "To a Bird, that haunted the Water of Lacken, in the Winter," which Charles Lamb transcribed in one of Coleridge's note-books, should be set over against the absurd lines, "On the Poems of Mr. Rogers." "O melancholy bird, a winter's day Thou standest by the margin of the pool; And, taught by God, dost thy whole being school To Patience, which all evil can allay: God has appointed thee the fish thy prey; And giv'n thyself a lesson to the fool Unthrifty, to submit to moral rule, And his unthinking course by thee to weigh. There need not schools nor the professor's chair, Though these be good, true wisdom to impart; He, who has not enough for these to spare Of time, or gold, may yet amend his heart, And teach his soul by brooks and rivers fair, Nature is always wise in every part." Select Poems, 1821, p. 90. [See "Fragments of Criticism," Works of Charles Lamb, 1903, iii. 284.]
* ↑ [Hermilda in Palestine was published in 1812, in quarto, and twice reissued in 1813, as part of Poems on Various Occasions (8vo). The Lines upon Rogers' Epistle to a Friend appeared first in the Gentleman's Magazine for April, 1813, vol. 83, p. 357, and were reprinted in the second edition of Poems, etc., 1813, pp. 162, 163. The lines in italics, which precede each stanza, are taken from the last stanza of Lord Thurlow's poem.]

[or Cæsar's Discovery of C. I. and H. 8. in ye same Vault.]
Famed for their civil and domestic quarrels See heartless Henry lies by headless Charles; Between them stands another sceptred thing, It lives, it reigns—"aye, every inch a king." Charles to his people, Henry to his wife, In him the double tyrant starts to life: Justice and Death have mixed their dust in vain. The royal Vampires join and rise again. What now can tombs avail, since these disgorge The blood and dirt of both to mould a George!

# The Works of Abraham Cowley/Volume 2/The Heart Breaking

It gave a piteous groan, and so it broke;  In vain it something would have spoke:  The love within too strong for't was, Like poison put into a Venice-glass.
I thought that this some remedy might prove,  But, oh, the mighty serpent Love,  Cut by this chance in pieces small, In all still liv'd, and still it stung in all.
And now, alas! each little broken part  Feels the whole pain of all my heart:  And every smallest corner still Lives with that torment which the whole did kill.
Even so rude armies when the field they quit,  And into several quarters get;  Each troop does spoil and ruin more, Then all join'd in one body did before.
How many Loves reign in my bosom now?  How many loves, yet all of you?  Thus have I chang'd with evil fate My Monarch-Love into a Tyrant-State.

I wonder what those lovers mean, who say,  They 'ave giv'en their hearts away.  Some good kind lover tell me how; For mine is but a torment to me now.
If so it be one place both hearts contain,  For what do they complain?  What courtesy can Love do more, Than to join hearts, that parted were before?
Woe to her stubborn heart, if once mine come  Into the self same room;  Twill tear and blow up all within, Like a granado shot into a magazine.$^1$
Then shall Love keep the ashes, and torn parts  Of both our broken hearts:  Shall out of both one new one make, From hers, th' allay;$^2$ from mine, the metal take.
For of her heart he from the flames will find  But little left behind:  Mine only will remain entire; No dross$^3$ was there, to perish in the fire.

Mr. Alan Butterworth
Indian civilian and author
Mr. Alan Butterworth, C.S.I., who died in London on Tuesday at the age of 72, was one of those members of the Indian Civil Service who interested themselves in researches into the past. They are less numerous to-day than in the more leisurely mid-Victorian period. Epigraphy and geology were his chief studies, but there were many other fields in which he delighted to wander.
A son of Mr Henry Butterworth, of Rochdale, he was born on July 25, 1864. He was educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey, went to Wren's to be coached for the Indian Civil Service examination of 1883, and to Balliol College, Oxford for his probation. He reported at Madras at the end of 1885, and served in various executive, judicial, and administrative capacities in the Southern Presidency. He also saw some judicial service in the Bombay Presidency and the Central Provinces.
He collaborated with a Madrasi scholar in a volume on the inscriptions on stones and copperplates in the Nellore district; wrote a book on "Some Madras Trees" and another on "The Formation of Madras." In 1912 he was appointed to membership of the Board of Revenue but left it in the following year to be Chief Secretary to the Madras Government. He was made C.S.I. in 1915, and retired three years later. A book he published in 1923, "The South-Lands of Siva," showed him to be be a keen observer of the Indian scene, and a light-hearted, gossipy, joking narrator. He married in 1897, Alice Erskine, daughter of Major-General George Colclough, R.H.A., and they had a son, who followed to Balliol and took a first class in Philosophy, and four daughters.

Sir Alfred Chalmers Seaman and Board of Trade official
The death occurred at Latymer Court, Hammersmith, on Thursday of Sir Alfred John George Chalmers in his ninety-second year. He was for many years professional adviser to the Marine Department of the Board of Trade.
Sir Alfred first went to sea in 1859, when only 13½ years old, in one of the famous ships then trading between Blackwall and the East Indies and Australia. In 1863, he became third officer of one of these vessels and in the following year he was shipwrecked on the north-west coast of Australia. After this adventure he became second mate and, later, first mate, of a vessel engaged in surveying the west coast of Australia.
In 1866 Chalmers went into steam, and was employed in a vessel engaged in the carrying of emigrants between Copenhagen and New York. In that year he was shipwrecked for the second time, when his vessel came to grief in the Gulf of Bothnia. For a time he served with the Diamond Line of Steamers, when was then maintained between London and South Africa. Reverting to sail, he became chief mate of a large iron clipper of the Calcutta trade. On his return to steamships he served, first as chief officer, and then as master of steam ships in the coasting and home trades, an in the Baltic, Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Easter services.
With a varied experience of the sea behind him, Captain Chalmers joined the Marine Department of the Board of Trade in 1877, and was stationed, in turn, at various ports throughout the country, From being principal district officer for South Wales at Cardiff, he was transferred in 1896 to Whitehall, Captain Chalmers served on 15 Departmental Committees, including those appointed in connexion with tonnage laws and workmen's compensation. He was the chief British delegate at the conferences held in many countries to secure uniformity in the equipment of ships regard safety of life at sea and other matters, and in 1910 he was one of five British delegates to the International Conference on Aerial Navigation held in Paris. He was knighted on January 1, 1911. Lady Chalmers died in 1927. He leaves a son, Mr. A. A. A. Chalmers, who is a principal surveyor of Lloyd's Register of Shipping and an unmarried daughter.
