Pray, sir, excuse the liberty, But is not this some joke? Herald. No! Soon you will find it's Hobson's choice Brave Volunteers--you must enroll! Or pay your duty to the King--So settle which you please on. People. Well, I'd as soon be hang'd as fall Fighting for any reason! So to secure his capital, We must reduce our own. (Exeunt Herald and Populace; Baron. What's to be done? Alas! the heavy day! Too old to fight and much too poor to pay. Bear arms I can't--indeed, opposed to strife, I never could bear arms in all my life! A tender youth, the task of drilling bored me--A carpet knight, the least exertion floored me! A cripple now, to Court I can't stump down, And to stump up, I haven't half-a-crown. I have no son my substitute to be--My family consists of daughters three, All grown-up girls, whose fortunes are their charms; So that I haven't e'en a child in arms! How to 'scape hanging--hang me if I know! Myr. My dearest father, pray don't take on so; Meet like a man your fortune, good or ill! Or if you can't, why then your daughter will! Per. What! like a man? Myr. Aye, sister, like a man; The only way that help him now I can. A coat and waistcoat I intend to sport, And be my father's deputy at Court. Per. You? Flir. You? Baron. With gratitude I'm almost mute! What, daughter! you become my substitute? Per. But should they make you fight? Myr. To fight I'm willing. I've oft been told that I look very killing. Fur. You storm a fortress? Per. Or besiege a town? Myr. Before one I can easily sit down. Baron. You mount a breach? Myr. Oh, sir, experience teaches, --I mean at once to mount a pair of..

Victorian Epic Burlesques
Author: Rachel Bryant Davies
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350027189
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
This anthology presents annotated scripts of four major burlesques by key playwrights: Melodrama Mad! or, the Siege of Troy by Thomas John Dibdin (1819); Telemachus; or, the Island of Calypso by J.R. Planché (1834); The Iliad; or, the Siege of Troy by Robert Brough (1858) and Ulysses; or the Ironclad Warriors and the Little Tug of War by F.C. Burnand (1865). Beloved legend, archaeological riddle and educational staple: Homer's epic tales of the Trojan War and its aftermath were vividly reimagined in nineteenth-century Britain. Classical burlesques-exceptionally successful theatrical entertainments-continually mined the Iliad and Odyssey to lucrative comic effect. Burlesques combined song, dance and slapstick comedy with an eclectic kaleidoscope of topical allusions. From namedropping boxing legends to recasting Shakespearean combats, epic adaptations overflow with satirical commentary on politics, cultural highlights and everyday current affairs. In uncovering Homer's irreverently playful afterlife, this selection showcases burlesque's development and wide appeal. The critical introduction analyses how these plays contested the accessibility of classical antiquity and dramatic performance. Textual and literary annotations, with contemporary illustrations, illuminate the juxtaposed sources to establish these repackaged epics as indispensable tools for unlocking nineteenth-century social, cultural and political history. Resources for further study are available online.
