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!"
