# Way for to woo/Wonderful song

WONDERFUL SONG.
WHAT a wonderful age ’tis my lads, And what wonderful people live in it, We’ve wonderful mammas and dads, Fresh wonders arise every minute. We’ve wonderful ships in our Navy, And wonderful soldiers and sailors, We’ve wonderful beef full of gravy, And wonderful cabbage for tailers.
We've wonderful Pilots I trow, To steer us thro’ wonderful dangers, John Bull is a wonderful cow, Admired by natives and strangers. ​We’ve wonderful grand puppet shows, A wonderful sight to beholders, We’ve wonderful boots for the beaux, And coats made with wonderful shoulders!
We’ve wonderful doctors call’d quacks, With wonderful puffs in the papers; Will tell you of wonderful facts, And cut you most wonderful capers, With one little wonderful pill, They every disorder keep under, For if they can’t cure they can kill, And where is the difference I wonder.
We’ve wonderful foes on the sea, Who kick up a wonderful riot, We’ll bang them with wonderful ease, And make them all wonderful quiet. In Egypt we’d wonderful works, Bonuparte the great undertaker, Went to take the whole land from the Turks. But could not get one single acre,
Take a peep at our wonderful ladies, They look all so wonderful pretty, Each wig now so wonderful made is, To suit brown, yellow, and jetty. We've wonderful pratting old tabby, Who Ministers should lay a tax on, ​Can hide her gay noddle so shabby, With a wonderful new auburn coxon.
But the wonderful wonder of all, And wonderful true we have found it, That Britain so wonderful small, Should awe the great nations around it. Huzza, for each Soldier and Tar, At fighting so wonderful clever, And whether at peace or at war Let's sing wonderful Britain for ever.

DINNA THINK, BONNY LASSIE.
O dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you, Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you, I'll tak a stick into my hand an’ come again an’ see you.
​Far’s the gate ye hae to gang, dark's the night and eerie, Far’s the gate ye hae to gang, &c. Far’s the gate ye hae to gang, &c. O stay this ae night wi’ your love and dinaa gang and leave me.
It’s but a night and half a day that I’ll leave my dearie, It’s but a night and half a day, &c It’s but a night and half a day, &c. Whene’er the sun gaes west the loch I’ll come again and see thee.
Dinna gang my bonny lad dinna gang and leave me, Dinna gang my bonny lad, &c. When a’ the lave are sound asleep I’m dull and eerie, An’ a the lee lang night I'm sad wi’ thinking on my dearie.
O dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you, Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you, Whene’er the sun gaes out o' sight I’ll come again and see thee.
Waves are rising o’er the sea, winds blaw loud an’ fear me, ​Waves are rising o’er the sea, &c. Waves are rising o’er the sea, &c. An’ gin ye loe me as ye say ye winna gae and leave me.
O never mair bonny lassie will I gang & lea thee Never mair bonny lassie, &c. Never mair bonny lassie, &c. E’en let the warld gae as it will I’ll came again an’ cheer thee.
Frae his hand he coost the stick, I winna gang and leave thee, Threw his plaid into the neuk never can I grieve thee, Drew his boots, an’ flang them by, come my lass be cheerie, I’ll kiss the tear frae aff thy cheek an’ never leave my dearie.
# Way for to woo/Amo amas

AMO AMAS.
Amo Amas, I love a lass, As a cedar tall and slender, Sweet cowslips grace her nominative case, And she’s of the feminine gender.
CHORUS.
Rorum Corum, sunt di-vorum, Harum scarum Divo; ​Tag rag merry derry, periwig and hat band, Hic hoc horum Genetive.
Can I decline a nymph divine, Her voice like a flute is Dulcis, Her occolus bright, her Manus white, And soft when I tacto her pulsis. Rorum Corum &c.
O how Bella, my Puella; I'll kiss in Secula Seculorum, If I’ve luck sir, she’s my Uxor, O Dies Benedictorum, Rorum Corum, &c.

THE WAY FOR TO WOO.
O tell me, my bonny young lassie, O tell me the way for to woo; O tell me, my bonny sweet lassie, O tell me the way for to woo. Say, maun I roose your red cheeks like the morning, Lips like the rose when its moisten'd wi' dew And say maun I roose your een’s pawky scorning O tell me dear lassie the way for to woo.
O far hae I wander‘d, dear lassie, To see thee I've sail,d the salt sea, I’ve travell’d o’er muirlands and mountains, And houseless lain cauld on the lea, I never hae try’d yet to mak love to ony, Never lov’d ony till ance I lov’d you: Now we’re alane in the greeen wood sae bonny Now tell me my dear lassie the way for to woo.
What care I for your wand’rings, laddie, Or yet for your sailing-the sea? It was nae for nought ye left Peggy, My tocher it brought you to me. An‘ say hae ye gowd for to busk me ay gaudy, Wi’ ribbons an’ pearlins, an’ breast-knots anew ​A house that is canty wi’ plenishin’ plenty, Without them ye never need come for to woo?
I hae nae gowd to busk ye ay gaudy, Nor yet buy you ribbons enew.. I brag nae o’ house nor o’ plenty, But I hae a heart that is true. I came nae for tocher, I ne’er heard o’ ony, Never lo'ed Peggy,nor e'er brak my vow, I've wander'd poor fool, for a face fause as bonny I little thought this was the way for to woo.
Hae na ye roo'sd my red cheeks like the morning, An’ roo'sd up my cherry red mou; Ye’ve come o’er the sea, muir, and mountain, What mair Johnny need you to woo: An’ far hae ye wander'd I ken my dear laddie, Now ye hae faund me, ye've nae cause to rue Wi’ health we'll hae plenty, I'll never gang gaudy I ne’er wish’d for mair than a heart that is true.

邵振青字顯莎
Mr. Shao Chen-ch'ing was born at Hangchow, Chekiang province, in 1889 and graduated from the High Provincial College of Chekiang. After graduation be taught three years in several middle and normal schools. During the First Revolution in 1911-12, Mr. Shao was editor of the Han Ming Jih Pao, Kuomingtang paper, at Hangchow. Owing to his strong opposition against Yuan Shih-kai, his paper was proscribed by Yuan as a seditious organ, so in 1914 the Chekiang authorities were instructed by Peking to close down the Han Ming Jih Pao and to have the editor arrested and put into prison. Mr. Shao's life would have been taken if he did not have many friends to devise ways and means to save him. He remained in the prison for one year after which he was released and then went to Japan where he established the Tokyo Correspondence Service. Mr. Shao returned to China when Yuan Shih-kai's monarchical attempt was at its height. He became special correspondent for The Shun Pao and The China Times, two of the leading Chinese papers in Shanghai.

In 1917 Mr. Shao organized the Peking News Agency, which was the first organization of this nature established by Chinese in China. The increase of telegraphic news items in the Shanghai papers since that time was due to the existence of the agency. Under the same influence, the papers in Peking underwent a reform in form as well as in spirit. He was the first man advocating the publication of Cabinet discussions for the information of the public. In 1920 Mr. Shao founded in Peking a daily paper called the Ching Pao and managed under the modern system. When the Anfu Party was in power, this paper made strong attacks every day, as a result of which it was finally suppressed and Mr. Shao was ordered to be arrested.

After the downfall of the Anfu Party, Mr. Shao resigned from the Asahi Daily News and re-established his Ching Pao at Peking. In 1921 the Pehing Government University established the Journalism Society and Mr. Shao was invited to be a lecturer.

Mr. Shao is at present the President of the Ching Pao, the Peking News Agency, and special correspondent of the China Times of Shanghai. He was awarded by President Li Yuan-hung in April 1923 the Third Chiaho.

# Who's Who in China (3rd edition)/Preface

PREFACE
This "Who's Who in China" does not contain the biographies of all of the best men in the Republic of China, but it does attempt to give the names of most of the best known men in the country.
Persons familiar with China, upon glancing through this book will say, "How did he get in?" Others will say, "Why is so-and-so not included in a book of this kind?" We answer, both of these questions by saying that we have done the best we could, knowing that there may be names in the book which might have been omitted and that there are many persons in China whose names should have been included.
Practically all of these pictures and biographies have appeared originally in the pages of the China Weekly Review during the past eight years. We have tried to bring them all up to date, but this has constituted a serious problem in view of the frequent internal political changes which always play havoc with biographical sketches. The civil war of September, 1924, forced the revision of many of the biographies and delayed for several months the publication of this volume.
"How did the publishers of the China Weekly Review obtain these biographical sketches?" This is a question which many will ask and a reply is in order: First, most of those in official life were obtained from records in Peking and in this connection we desire to acknowledge the services of Messrs. H. K. Tong and William Stephen Wong of Peking and Tientsin. Then about two years ago we advertised in the pages of the China Weekly Review asking our readers to recommend the names of persons in various parts of the country whose biographies should be included in a book of this kind. This brought in a considerable number, especially men who had achieved reputation in business and the professions.
Then about a year ago, owning to the attention which has been devoted to the Returned Students and their place in modern Chinese Society, it was suggested that we include the names and biographies of the alumni of Tsing Hua College of Peking, otherwise the names and information regarding the Chinese men and women who have studied in the United States through the school in Peking which was established as a result of the first remission of the American share of the Chinese Boxer Indemnity. This list was complied by Mr. C. T. Tsai, Alumni Secretary through the courtesy of Dr. Y. S. Tsao, President of the institution.
We invite suggestions for the further improvement of this book, especially corrections which should be made in the biographical sketches appearing in this volume, as well as the names of persons which should be included in the next edition.
M. C. Powell, Editor
