Sor Carlo Parmonico. (The Musical Master Charley.) Sor is the Roman for Signor (Mister). The

Santa Lucia. No comments need be made on this song, which, from its having been carried everywhere by itinerant musicians, has become almost a folk-song of all nations. This explains why the

While so sweetly the harmonies twined them,

Master Charley followed behind them ;
Now the People's Gate he reaches,
And he takes a reef in his breeches
Master Charley of Holland was straying,

On the street a band was a-playing;
Now he loves good music dearly,
When the tune goes loud and clearly:

See him look here
O, what a beautiful, beautiful square

Soon the Palace of Fiani he's sighting,

And he meets three doggies a-fighting.
And he runs in such a flutter
That he stumbles in the gutter,
Crying for help ! Oh, his fine togs
Into the gutter he 's thrown by the dogs

UNKIND IRENE, WHY HAVE YOU LEFT ME?"
Unkind Irene, why have you left me?

You have betray'd me, you have bereft me
But
still,
believe me,
it
does not grieve me,
For I shall soon win another prize.

hundred girls or more, highborn or lowly,
Will promise
new
love
if I
depart
now
But oh you false one return the heart now

That you have stolen from me with your eyes.
You are weeping Oh, how I laugh at you
Ha ha!
!
Irene, surely 'twas a foolish
When you
had
forsook
me
so,
dream yon had

maybe a scheme you
You must have thought

and
that I
would lay
me down
die,
you soon, whom you despise

if you are sorry,
And if you ever try on me your art now
But oh you false one return the heart now
That you have stolen from me with your eyes.

The window low, the mistress none too kindly

How many a sigh they 've made me heave between them

My

When

The snow is cold, for love 'tis never grateful;
There 's one who 'd see me die, and never save me
How

And wander
thro' the alleys selling water,

My lovely ladies, ah who '11 have some water?
Perhaps the fairest maid would turn to scan me
Who is this boy who wanders selling water?

SONG OF THE BAGPIPERS.
When
Christ oar
Lord was born
at
Bethlehem
Altho' 'twas night, there shone as bright as
afar,
noon
a star:
Never so brightly,
Never so whitely
Shone the stars, as on that night 1
The brightest star went
Away to call the Wise Men from the Orient
There were no foes on Earth, or warfare blazing,

Beside the lion then the sheep was grazing,
Safe by the leopard
WanderM
the shepherd,
With the bear the
calf did play,
The wolf so savage

Would not the tender lamb
molest or ravage.
While shepherds in the fields their flocks were tending,

A shining angel came from heav'n descending;
When he beheld them,
Straightway he told them:
Hear my voice, be not afraid!
Be glad, rejoice, now,
For Earth has all become like Paradise, now !

And shall it then be only I, poor lonely Barbarella,
Who'll have to stay at home, altho' I'd dearly love to go?

strong enough to go and dance the tarantella,

There

He
is
a snake that lives in yonder alley,

abroad by night, by day he 's missing,
Upon the stroke of two he forth will sally,
Raise up his head, and then you hear him hissing.
And
in the alley dwells the sweetest
Bright as a star her lovely face
is
maiden,
beaming,
She is so full of charms, my heart they madden,

As any angel, too, she's pure in seeming.

And when
they hear the snake a love-lay hissing,
Maidens will run to look, and many are smitten;

But you, my darling girl, beware his kissing,
For if you are not careful, you'll be bitten.

if she were mine, my only treasure

can only gain her mother's favor,
There's nothing I'll deny to give her pleasure,
