THE "BAB" BALLADS.
But ere he went aboard his boat
He placed around her little throat
A ribbon, blue and yellow,
On which he hung a double tooth—
A simple token this, in sooth—
'Twas all he had, poor fellow!
"I often wonder," he would say,
When very very far away,
"If Angelina wears it!
A plan has entered in my head,
I will pretend that I am dead
And see how Angy bears it!"
