# Sally Gray/The Happy Stranger

THE HAPPY STRANGER.
As I was a-walking one morning in spring, To hear the birds whistle, & Nightingale sing, I heard a fair maid she was making her moan. Saying, I, a poor stranger & far from my own.
I stept up unto her, and made a low gee, And asked her pardon for making so free; Saying, I have taken pity on hearing your moan, As I’m also a stranger, and far from my own.
Her cheeks blush'd like roses & she shed a tear, And laid, Sir I wonder at meeting you here! I hope you'll not ill use me in this desart alone, As I am a poor stranger, and far from my own.
My dear, to ill use you indeed I never will. My heart’s blood to save you indeed I would spill I'd strive for to ease & relieve all your moan. And wish to convey you safeback to your home.
Therefore, my dear jewel, if you would agree, And if ever you marry, to marry with me; I Would be your guardian thro' those dasarts unknown. Until with your parents I’d leave you at home.
Sir, where is your Country. I'd wish for to know ? And what’s the misfortunes you did undergo? That caus'd you to wander so far from your home, And made us meet strangers in this desart alone.
​He says, my sweet fair one the truth I will tell. If I was in my own country near Newry I dwell, But yet to misfortunes my love I was prone, Which made many a hero go far from his home.
Sir the lads of sweet Newry are all roving blades And take great delight in courting fair-maids, They kiss them, and press them, and call them their own, And perhaps your darling lies mour ning at home.
Believe me, my jewel, the case is not so; I never was married, the truth you must know. So these strangers agreed as the case it is known. I wish them both happy & safe to their home.
# Sally in Our Alley (1805)

SALLY IN OUR ALLEY: Sung by Mr. INCLEDON.—Mr. BRAHAM.—Mr. DIGNUM.—Mr. HILL.—Mr. TAYLOR, &c. &c.
OF all the girls that are so smart There's none like pretty Sally: She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley; There's ne'er a lady in the land That's half so sweet as Sally, For she's the darling of my heart, And she lives in our Alley.
Her father he makes cabbage-nets, For those who want to buy 'em, Her mother she makes laces long, And thro' the streets does cry 'em; But sure such folks could ne'er beget Such a charming girl as Sally, She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our Alley.
When she is by, I leave my work, I love her so sincerely, My master comes like any Turk, And bangs me most severely; But let him bang his belly full, I'll bear it all for Sally, For she's the darling of my soul, And she lives in our Alley.
Of all the days that's in the week, I dearly love but one day, And that's the day that comes between A Saturday and Monday; For then I'm drest all in my best, To walk abroad with Sally, For she's the darling of my soul, And she lives in our Alley.
My Master carries me to church, And often am I blamed, Because I leave him in the lurch As soon as text is named: I leave the church in sermon-time, And slink away to Sally, For she's the darling of my soul, And she lives in our Alley.
When Christmas comes about again Oh! then I shall have money; I'll hoard it up, and box and all, I'll give it to my honey. And, wou'd it were ten thousand pounds, I'd give it all to Sally; She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our Alley.
My master and the neighbours all Make game of me and Sally, Wer't not for her I'd better been A slave, and row a galley: But when my seven long years are out, Oh! then I'll marry Sally; Oh! then we'll wed, and then we'll bed, But not into our Alley.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 254

Chap. CCLIV.—How to manage, when a White terminates upon another White.
When one white body terminates on another of the same colour, the white of these two bodies will ​be either alike or not. If they be alike, that object which of the two is nearest to the eye, should be made a little darker than the other, upon the rounding of the outline; but if the object which serves as a ground to the other be not quite so white, the latter will detach of itself, without the help of any darker termination.
Layout 2
# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 25

Chap. XXV.—That a Painter should take Pleasure in the Opinion of every body.
A painter ought not certainly to refuse listening to the opinion of any one; for we know that, although a man be not a painter, he may have just notions of the forms of men; whether a man has a hump on his back, a thick leg, or a large hand; whether he be lame, or have any other defect. Now, if we know that men are able to judge of the works of Nature, should we not think them more able to detect our errors?

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 250

Chap. CCL.—Of the Painter’s Window.
The window which gives light to a painting-room, ought to be made of oiled paper, without any cross bar, or projecting edge at the opening, or any sharp angle in the inside of the wall, but should be slanting by degrees the whole thickness of it; and the sides be painted black.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 253

Chap. CCLIII.—Which of the Colours will produce the darkest Shade.
That shade will be the darkest which is produced by the whitest surface; this also will have a greater propensity to variety than any other surface; because white is not properly a colour, but a receiver of colours, and its surface will participate strongly of the colour of surrounding objects, but principally of black or any other dark colour, which being the most opposite to its nature, produces the most sensible difference between the shadows and the lights.
Layout 2
# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 248

Chap. CCXLVIII.—General Remarks on Colours.
Blue and green are not simple colours in their nature, for blue is composed of light and darkness; such is the azure of the sky, viz. perfect black and perfect white. Green is composed of a simple and a mixed colour, being produced by blue and yellow.
Any object seen in a mirror, will participate of the colour of that body which serves as a mirror; and the mirror in its turn is tinged in part by the colour of the object it represents; they partake more or less of each other as the colour of the object seen is more or less strong than the colour of the mirror. That object will appear of the strongest and most lively colour in the mirror, which has the most affinity to the colour of the mirror itself.
​Of coloured bodies, the purest white will be seen at the greatest distance, therefore the darker the colour, the less it will bear distance.
Of different bodies equal in whiteness, and in distance from the eye, that which is surrounded by the greatest darkness will appear the whitest; and on the contrary, that shadow will appear the darkest that has the brightest white round it.
Of different colours, equally perfect, that will appear most excellent, which is seen near its direct contrary. A pale colour against red, a black upon white (though neither the one nor the other are colours), blue near a yellow; green near red; because each colour is more distinctly seen, when opposed to its contrary, than to any other similar to it.
Any thing white seen in a dense air full of vapours, will appear larger than it is in reality.
The air, between the eye and the object seen, will change the colour of that object into its own; so will the azure of the air change the distant mountains into blue masses. Through a red glass every thing appears red; the light round the stars is dimmed by the darkness of the air, which fills the space between the eye and the planets.
The true colour of any object whatever will be seen in those parts which are not occupied by any kind of shade, and have not any gloss (if it be a polished surface).
​I say, that white terminating abruptly upon a dark ground, will cause that part where it terminates to appear darker, and the white whiter.
Layout 2
# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 251

Chap. CCLI.—The Shadows of Colours.
The shadows of any colour whatever must participate of that colour more or less, as it is nearer to, ​or more remote from the mass of shadows; and also in proportion to its distance from, or proximity to the mass of light.
Layout 2
# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 252

Chap. CCLII.—Of the Shadows of White.
To any white body receiving the light from the sun, or the air, the shadows should be of a blueish cast; because white is no colour, but a receiver of all colours; and as by the fourth proposition we learn, that the surface of any object participates of the colours of other objects near it, it is evident that a white surface will participate of the colour of the air by which it is surrounded.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 255

Chap. CCLV.—On the Back-grounds of Figures.
Of two objects equally light, one will appear less so if seen upon a whiter ground; and, on the contrary, it will appear a great deal lighter if upon a space of a darker shade. So flesh colour will appear pale upon a red ground, and a pale colour will appear redder upon a yellow ground. In short, colours will appear what they are not, according to the ground which surrounds them.
Layout 2
# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 249

COLOURS IN REGARD TO LIGHT AND SHADOW.
Chap. CCXLIX.—Of the Light proper for painting Flesh Colour from Nature.
Your window must be open to the sky, and the walls painted of a reddish colour. The summertime is the best, when the clouds conceal the sun, or else your walls on the south side of the room must be so high, as that the sun-beams cannot strike on the opposite side, in order that the reflexion of those beams may not destroy the shadows.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 256

Chap. CCLVI.—The Mode of composing History.
Amongst the figures which compose an historical picture, those which are meant to appear the nearest to the eye, must have the greatest force; according to the second proposition of the third book, which ​says, that colour will be seen in the greatest perfection which has less air interposed between it and the eye of the beholder; and for that reason the shadows (by which we express the relievo of bodies) appear darker when near than when at a distance, being then deadened by the air which interposes. This does not happen to those shadows which are near the eye, where they will produce the greatest relievo when they are darkest.

# Segnius Irritant: or Eight Primitive Folk-lore Stories/Appendix 1

APPENDIX I.
The Herald’s speech, from the Lapp poem “The Son of Pissa Passa” (supposed to date from the Neolithic epoch):
I.
God alone can give remission. When his lightnings he hath hurled, And has planted the colours of shame in the soul and laid bare the abyss of its night; When the conscience is seared by his levin and his spiritual power unfurled, He alone can cancel, pardon, cleanse from hate and re-unite.
II.
He alone is in himself, not as I or thou is he— Not as thou or I designing— He alone enlightens, pardons, All things for the best combining.
III.
But with joy must we receive him As the heart’s most precious treasure— Its divinest cup of pleasure.
IV.
Have a care, or the levin shall fall, and the blight Of its spells hurl thee prone to the nethermost night; For the souls of the next world are proof ’gainst decay When the flesh and the bones shall have mouldered away.
V.
Space no more their home is, rocks cannot arrest them, Nor the stream retain them, nor the ocean drown them. Like the thoughts’ swift shuttle, through all space they wend them, Suns and constellations, moon and earth that crown them.
VI.
Time no more they reck of, time has passed behind them; And in dreaming They reveal them to the moon-struck spirits, Now in touch no longer with our world of seeming.
VII.
They are souls o’ the mirk whom Ilmaracca healed, Sad shades of ill omen, blackened, blasted, sear, Naked as the daylight-good and ill revealed— Space no more contains them, nor the circling year.
VIII.
Some have donned the heavenly vesture, Some the sombre weeds of night, And have changed into forms of abhorrent despair and for ever and ever at strife; Taste no more the sweet concord of love, unredeemed evermore to the light; Warfare, vain recriminations, are for aye their death in life.
IX.
He, the father of the heaven, in himself is all in all, Not as we and you; the rolling Sphere of day and night sustaining, And the spirit-world controlling.
