But he 's p'r'aps been inviggled away up a court for the sake of his clothes by the prigs He 'd a very good jacket, for certain, for I bought it myself for a shilling one day in Rag Fair And his trowsers considering not very much patched, and red plush, they was once his Father's best pair. His shirt, it's very lucky I'd got washing in the tub, or that might have gone with the rest; But he 'd got on a very good pinafore with only two slits and a burn on the breast. He 'd a goodish sort of hat, if the crown was sewed in, and not quite so much jagg'd at the brim. With one shoe on, and the other shoe is a boot, and not a. Fit, and you 'll know by that if it's him. Except being so well dressed, my mind would mis give, some old beggar woman in want of an orphan, Had borrowed the child to go a begging with, but I 'd rather see him laid out in his coffin Do, good people, move on, such a rabble of boys I I '11 break every bone of 'em I come near, Go home - you 're Spilling the porter go home Tommy Jones, go along home with your beer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Hood: With a Memoir of the Author In this volume is given a fuller collection of the poetical writings of Thomas Hood than has hitherto been published; many as have been the editions they have varied in the way in which pieces have been overlooked or omitted from considerations of space or carelessness. Besides bringing together all that is available from earlier collections, the Editor has recovered from the periodicals for which Hood wrote a few poems which have hitherto escaped notice; in such cases, however, he has only taken pieces that were indubitably Hood's - resisting the temptation to swell their numbers by others for which the only evidence for ascription is internal. In addition he has had the good fortune to obtain half a dozen new poems from manuscript - one of these, it is true, had been given before, but only in an incomplete form. A few words should be said about the arrangement of the poems in this edition, an arrangement which has been the result of careful consideration consequent upon the inconsistencies met with in other collections. It has for sixty years been the custom to divide Hood's poetical writings into 'comic' and 'serious', or into 'serious poems' and 'poems of wit and humour'. This was done in Moxon's editions shortly after Hood's death, it was done by Samuel Lucas twenty years later, and the arbitrary differentiation was maintained by Canon Ainger in the two volumes of selections which he issued in the Eversley Series in 1897. That it is an arbitrary form of classification may be seen by comparing some of those earlier editions, in which we find that one editor includes poems in the 'serious' section which another allots to the 'comic', and vice versa. Lucas, to cite but one example, puts 'Miss Kilmansegg' in the latter, while Ainger puts it in the former. Certain of Hood's poems are definitely comic and others are definitely serious in both thought and treatment, but many of them while deeply serious in intent are presented with all the machinery of wit and humour at his command. It has seemed therefore best to break away from this traditional and unsatisfactory method of classification, and to give the poems in a certain chronological order. That order is as follows: those poems which the author issued in collected forms are given first, and are given in the order of publication of the various volumes, ranging from the Odes and Addresses to Great People of 1825 to the Whimsicalities of 1844.

Oh! take, young Seraph, take thy harp, And play to me so cheerily; For grief is dark, and care is sharp, And life wears on so wearily. Oh! take thy harp! Oh! sing as thou wert wont to do, When, all youth's sunny season long, I sat and listened to thy song, And yet 'twas ever, ever new, With magic in its heaven-tuned string- The future bliss thy constant theme. Oh! then each little woe took wing Away, like phantoms of a dream; As if each sound That flutter'd round, Had floated over Lethe's stream! By all those bright and happy hours We spent in life's sweet eastern bow'rs, Where thou wouldst sit and smile, and show, Ere buds were come, where flowers would blow, And oft anticipate the rise Of life's warm sun that scaled the skies; By many a story of love and glory, And friendships promised oft to me; By all the faith I lent to thee, - Oh! take, young Seraph, take thy harp, And play to me so cheerily We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works; Thomas Hood, Vol. 10: Comic and Serious, in Prose and Verse, With All the Original Illustrations, With Memorials Prefixed Some years have elapsed since the appearance of the first st edition of the Memorials of Thomas Hood. The rapidity with which that edition was exhausted might perhaps be urged as an argument for the earlier arrangement of the fresh issue. It was felt, however, that the work, especially in that portion which treated of Hoods earlier life, was incomplete, and that there was a probability of an accession of further materials throwing a light on that period. The justice of the conjecture has been proved by the important additions now made to the information about his early career. And if an excuse be needed for the delay in the production of this issue, it will be found in the fact that most interesting details have been supplied, even while the sheets were going through the press.
