OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

VOL. 101.

October 31, 1891.

YOUNG GRANDOLPH'S BARTY.

(_Afrikander Version of the great Breitmann Ballad, penned, "more
in sorrow than in anger," by a "Deutscher" resident in the distant
regions where the Correspondent of the "Daily Graphic" is, like der
Herr Breitmann himself, "drafellin' apout like eferydings._")

[Illustration: (Y)]

Young GRANDOLPH hat a Barty--
Vhere is dat Barty now?
He fell'd in luf mit der African goldt;
Mit SOLLY he'd hat a row;
He dinks dat his secession
Would make der resht look plue,
But, before he drafel vast and var,
His Barty sphlit in two.

Young GRANDOLPH hat a Barty--
Dere vash B-LF-R, W-LFF, and G-RST,
Dey haf vorgot deir "Leater,"
Und dat ish not deir vorst.
B-LF-R vill "boss" der Commons,
Vhile GRANDOLPH--sore disgraced--
Ish "oop a tree," like der Bumble Bee,
Und W-LFF and G-RST are "placed."

Young GRANDOLPH hat a Barty--
Vhen he dat Barty led,
B-LF-R vash but a "Bummer,"
A loafing lollop-head.
Young Tories schvore by GRANDOLPH,
(Dey schvear _at_ GRANDOLPH now,)
Now at de feet of der "lank aesthete"
Der _Times_ itshelf doth bow!

Young GRANDOLPH hat a Barty,
Dere all vash "Souse und Brouse."[1]
Now he hets not dat prave gompany
All in der Commons House,
To see _him_ skywgle GL-DST-NE,
Und schlog him on der kop.
Young Tory bloods no longer shout
Till der SCHPEAKER bids dem shtop.

Und, like dat Rhine Mermaiden
"Vot hadn't got nodings on,"
Dey "don't dink mooch of beoplesh
Vat goes mit demselfs alone!"

Young GRANDOLPH _hat_ a Barty--
Where ish dat Barty now?
Where is
