WONDERS OF THE WORLD.

[NLS note: a graphic appears here - see image of page]

Come all you bold heroes so gay,
Who is in a right good condition,
To go in the sweet month of M y,
To look at the Great Exhibition ;
The which all the world does su prise,
nd at which there is nothing left undone,
It surely must qazzle a'l eyes,
When they enter the city of London.
Such wonders was never yet seen.
Here's Prince Albert so bux m and gay,
Who founded the Great Exposition,
Here's Victoria the flower of May,
Who opened the Great Exhib tion ;
Such wonders was never yet seen,
Such thousands before ne'er was mingling,
Oh ! what will the foreigners say,
When they just take a peep at old England
Britannia for ever, huzza !
There's the Indian, the Hottentot too,
And the Dutchman from Garry-go-Byland,
There's the Prince of Tan Dan Bagatoo,
Thend the King of the Carrabee Islands ,
there's the Russian thePrussian, and Swede,
and the Otaheite ladies so cha ming,
The Duchess and Duke of Knockmead,
Oh the sight it is really so charming.
Such wonders we never did see.
From the Great Exhibition they'll roam,
Right away from the Great Crystal Palace.
To visit the Great Hipprodome.
Turks, Spaniards & Frenchmen will harras,
Where there eyes they will dazzle so bright,
At the lions, the tigers, and riches,
Won't they stare at the nuts and the tripe,
And the nice looking gold cock'd breeches,
Such wonders we never did see.
There's round abouts, lucky bags, swings,
And coveys, a playing fine capers,
Peas puddings, and halfpenny rings,
Hot wine, pop, and mealy potatoes,
There a girls laying under the trees.
So charming is their exposition.
And the young men a tickling their k e s,
With a peep at the Gran Exhib t on
Here's a he lth and long life to th Queen.
From the G eat Crystal Psla e an fa r,
So merrilly off they have started,
To just have a look I declare,
At the sights in famed Hungerford Market.
There's a cow with eleventeen heads,
And elevent en wo nen to hold her,
Tere's a thing to grind old women young.
And a stunning big co 's head & shoulder,
The wonders the world will surprise.
There's the Prince of tho great German Isle,
Playing you a tune on the banjo,
There's the great King of Jillabad,
A going to dance the Frendango ;
There's yellow men, blue men, and black.
And ladies of every condition,
There's the Princess of whack ma crack,
Come to visit the Great Exhibition,
Such wonders sure no one did see.
Old England for wonders, huzza !
Can never be beat or be undone,
Is there ever a part of the world,
To compare to the city of London :
If we were to talk for a week,
Night & day of the rank & conditions,
I'm sure we could never repeat,
The wonders of the Exhibition,
which must every nation surprise.
The Palace is all made of glass,
On glass will the wonders be tested,
Glass frying pans, pokers, & tongs,
Glass fonders, flat iron & bedstead,
No tongue in the world can relate,
The thousandth part which they've done,
A wonder twill be to the world,
will the Great Exhibition of London.
It will every notion surprise.
