THE BARKING BARBER.
This tune is to be found in two or three different forms, the variations having been caused by the different metres that have been adapted to it. For instance, one of the songs is Date ololum Belisario, which has twelve syllables in the first lino :— " 0 Fortune ! how strangely thy gifts are awarded."
Another is the comic song of Guy Fawhes, which, having sixteen syllables, requires fifteen notes in the first two bars of music:—
" I sing a doleful tragedy, Guy Pawkes that prince of sinisters." So also with the burdens—one is " Date obolum Belisario," and another is " 3>ow, wow, wow." |
