To The Terrestrial Globe. By A Miserable Wretch

    By William Schwenck Gilbert



    Roll on, thou ball, roll on!
    Through pathless realms of Space
    Roll on!
    What, though I'm in a sorry case?
    What, though I cannot meet my bills?
    What, though I suffer toothache's ills?
    What, though I swallow countless pills?
    Never you mind!
    Roll on!

    Roll on, thou ball, roll on!
    Through seas of inky air
    Roll on!
    It's true I've got no shirts to wear;
    It's true my butcher's bill is due;
    It's true my prospects all look blue
    But don't let that unsettle you!
    Never you mind!
    Roll on!

    (It rolls on.)
