Stranica 34 - My object all sublime I shall achieve in time — To let the punishment fit the crime — The punishment fit the crime...
Stranica 35 - The billiard sharp whom any one catches, His doom's extremely hard — He's made to dwell — In a dungeon cell On a spot that's always barred. And there he plays extravagant matches In fitless finger-stalls On a cloth untrue, With a twisted cue And elliptical billiard balls ! My object all sublime, etc.
Stranica 25 - CHORUS. Braid the raven hair — Weave the supple tress — Deck the maiden fair In her loveliness — Paint the pretty face — Dye the coral lip — Emphasize the grace Of her ladyship ! Art and nature, thus allied, Go to make a pretty bride ! SOLO.
Stranica 9 - St — 'st — 'st — and What's-his-name, and also Youknow-who — The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you. But it really doesn't matter whom you put...

It is consequently my degrading duty to serve this upstart as First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral, Master of...
Stranica 7 - Young man, despair, Likewise go to, Yum-Yum the fair You must not woo. It will not do : I'm sorry for you, You very imperfect ablutioner ! This very day From school Yum-Yum Will wend her way, And homeward come With beat of drum, And a rum-tum-tum, To wed the Lord High Executioner ! And the brass will crash, And the trumpets bray, And they'll cut a dash On their wedding day.
Stranica 9 - Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone, All centuries but this, and every country but his own...
Stranica 8 - I shall ensure a continuance of those favours which it will ever be my study to deserve. If I should ever be called upon to act professionally, I am happy to think that there will be no difficulty in finding plenty of people whose deaths will be a distinct gain to society at large.
