THE AUTHOR OF NANCY LEE"


There is n man living quietly in
London who is one of the most sue
cessul writers ol verse set 10 music
that is in Eugllnd today, yet he isuot
very widely known by name. He is
FreGcricS 4. Meathcrly, and he is the
author of Nancy Lee a song that
has been sang la every quarter Of the
globe, and has brought to the author
an amount of fame and money that
makes linn practically independent.
The song was written at Oxford III an
hour.
WeathcTly had made an appoint
ment for a pupil, whom he was coach.
ing for the annual commencement.
The pupil failed 10 keep his appoint
ment. and while waiting for him the
piece came suddenly 10 his mind and
il was written then and there. One of
the strange things about the song was
that il was in the heydey of its popu-
larity about the time of the Princess
Alice disaster. Ii was being sung on
deck Just before the vessel went down.
That fact was printed in all the Eng
lish newspapers, aud the song suffered
a temporary check in its popularity,
but thousands of copies Of it are now
sold, not only in Great Britain, but
through Australia. Canada and in
fact wherever the English language
is spoken. Mr.. Weatherly is the au-
thor of scores Of other songs that are
not SO well known. He has been
writing songs ever since he was an
undergraduate, twenty-five years ago.
His first song was ''NNhen We Are Old
and Gray" Both his parents had
strong poetic tastes, but he owe most
TO an old gentleman who lived for
many years in his fathers house.
This old fellow was thought to be
slightly insane, but he had a perfect
knowledge Of five or six languages,
and had been a fellow traveller with
Sir Walter Scott and a friend of
Thackeray, and il was probably a case
of genius TO madness nearly allied.
He used TO relate old stories and leg
ends and eve improyise verses him
self.
How do you obtain your ideas for
songs Mr., Weatherly was asked, re-
Gently.
Il scarcely know myself" was the
reply. THY come at the most unex-
pected moments. Many people who
read or sing my songs, particularly
my love songs, think | am a young
man nmdly love smitten. Ii is moth
ing of the kind. am an old married
man and have a family of children.
My sea songs were written far from
the sea and my rural songs miles
from the country, Many suggestions
for love songs have occurred to me
while reading Aristotle. | cannot
write unless | am happy. My most
melancholy dirgcs were composed
when | was in the best of spirits"
Mr., Weatherly has made a large
fortune by song writing, and he could
sell ten times as many as he now
writes ii lie had the inclination
