The Duke Is The Lad

Title:     The Duke Is The Lad
Author: Thomas Moore [More Titles by Moore]

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
At sight of this dreary Duke.

[The end]
Thomas Moore's poem: Duke Is The Lad
