Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ulf, the Minstrel, or the Player, the Princess, and the Prophecy: A Burlesque Extravaganza, in One Act
If you would have me sing, the spirit spare, That is a brawin' I can never bear. None of your thin potations - take it neat! Yes; have it hot and strong, and toute de suite! Song Stonewall Jackson. I sing this song against the grain, Because, from sheer inaction, My voice is much too husky still To give you satisfaction. I must your kind indulgence claim, Pray take the will - the deed don't blame, Altho' to tax your ears 'tis shame, With vocal imperfection. Recit. You will not be denied, And so my best I've tried.
