Prince Charming.

His dressing-gown's blue, and
    His girdle is red;
He wears a black cap
    On top of his head.

He carries a candle
    To give you a light,
In case you should ever
    Get up in the night.

You may call him an imp,
    Or a gnome or a sprite;
And whate'er you call him
    You are sure to be right.

He is here, he is there,
    He will never stay long;
If you think he is caught,
    You are sure to be wrong.

There was a bold cowboy
    Came out of the west;
Of all the bold riders,
    This cowboy's the best.

The horse he brought with him
    Will not run away;
But stands by the side of
    His master all day.

There was a grand coachman,
    Who drove the Lord Mayor;
And never drove less than
    A carriage and pair.

He wore a red waistcoat,
    He carried a whip,
And when the boys saw him,
    They shouted "Hip! hip!"

        Air.--"A master I have, and I am his man,
        Galloping dreary dun."
        "Castle of Andalusia."


The Duke is the lad to frighten a lass.
    Galloping, dreary duke;
    The Duke is the lad to frighten a lass,
    He's an ogre to meet, and the devil to pass,
            With his charger prancing,
            Grim eye glancing,
            Chin, like a Mufti,
            Grizzled and tufty,
        Galloping, dreary Duke.

Ye misses, beware of the neighborhood
    Of this galloping dreary Duke;
Avoid him, all who see no good
In being run o'er by a Prince of the Blood.
            For, surely, no nymph is
            Fond of a grim phiz.
            And of the married,
            Whole crowds have miscarried<...

He smiles throughout the morning,
    And all the afternoon;
He smiles whene'er the sun shines,
    And also at the moon.

He smiles upon the carpet,
    Or when you pick him up;
He smiles all through his dinner,
    And when he goes to sup.
