An imaginary composer	A
	-
I	-
	-
Hist but a word fair and soft	B
Forth and be judged Master Hugues	C
Answer the question I've put you so oft	D
What do you mean by your mountainous fugues	C
See we're alone in the loft	D
	-
II	-
	-
I the poor organist here	E
Hugues the composer of note	F
Dead though and done with this many a year	G
Let's have a colloquy something to quote	F
Make the world prick up its ear	E
	-
III	-
	-
See the church empties apace	C
Fast they extinguish the lights	C
Hallo there sacristan Five minutes' grace	C
Here's a crank pedal wants setting to rights	C
Baulks one of holding the base	C
	-
IV	H
	-
See our huge house of the sounds	C
Hushing its hundreds at once	C
Bids the last loiterer back to his bounds	C
O you may challenge them not a response	C
Get the church saints on their rounds	C
	-
V	H
	-
Saints go their rounds who shall doubt	I
March with the moon to admire	J
Up nave down chancel turn transept about	I
Supervise all betwixt pavement and spire	J
Put rats and mice to the rout	I
	-
VI	H
	-
Aloys and Jurien and Just	K
Order things back to their place	C
Have a sharp eye lest the candlesticks rust	K
Rub the church plate darn the sacrament lace	C
Clear the desk velvet of dust	K
	-
VII	H
	-
Here's your book younger folks shelve	H
Played I not off hand and runningly	L
Just now your masterpiece hard number twelve	H
Here's what should strike could one handle it cunningly	L
HeIp the axe give it a helve	H
	-
VIII	H
	-
Page after page as I played	M
Every bar's rest where one wipes	C
Sweat from one's brow I looked up and surveyed	M
O'er my three claviers yon forest of pipes	C
Whence you still peeped in the shade	M
	-
IX	C
	-
Sure you were wishful to speak	N
You with brow ruled like a score	O
Yes and eyes buried in pits on each cheek	N
Like two great breves as they wrote them of yore	O
Each side that bar your straight beak	N
	-
X	C
	-
Sure you said Good the mere notes	C
Still couldst thou take my intent	P
Know what procured me our Company's votes	C
A master were lauded and sciolists shent	P
Parted the sheep from the goats ''	-
	-
XI	C
	-
Well then speak up never flinch	Q
Quick ere my candle's a snuff	H
Burnt do you see to its uttermost inch	Q
I believe in you but that's not enough	H
Give my conviction a clinch	Q
	-
XII	C
	-
First you deliver your phrase	C
Nothing propound that I see	C
Fit in itself for much blame or much praise	C
Answered no less where no answer needs be	C
Off start the Two on their ways	C
	-
XIII	C
	-
Straight must a Third interpose	C
Volunteer needlessly help	R
In strikes a Fourth a Fifth thrusts in his nose	C
So the cry's open the kennel's a yelp	R
Argument's hot to the close	C
	-
XIV	H
	-
One dissertates he is candid	P
Two must discept has distinguished	P
Three helps the couple if ever yet man did	P
Four protests Five makes a dart at the thing wished	P
Back to One goes the case bandied	P
	-
XV	H
	-
One says his say with a difference	C
More of expounding explaining	S
All now is wrangle abuse and vociferance	C
Now there's a truce all's subdued self restraining	S
Five though stands out all the stiffer hence	C
	-
XVI	H
	-
One is incisive corrosive	H
Two retorts nettled curt crepitant	P
Three makes rejoinder expansive explosive	H
Four overbears them all strident and strepitant	P
Five O Danaides O Sieve	H
	-
XVII	H
	-
Now they ply axes and crowbars	C
Now they prick pins at a tissue	C
Fine as a skein of the casuist Escobar's	C
Worked on the bone of a lie To what issue	C
Where is our gain at the Two bars	C
	-
XVIII	H
	-
Est fuga volvitur rota	P
On we drift where looms the dim port	P
One Two Three Four Five contribute their quota	P
Something is gained if one caught but the import	P
Show it us Hugues of Saxe Gotha	T
	-
XIX	C
	-
What with affirming denying	S
Holding risposting subjoining	S
All's like it's like for an instance I'm trying	S
There See our roof its gilt moulding and groining	S
Under those spider webs lying	S
	-
XX	C
	-
So your fugue broadens and thickens	C
Greatens and deepens and lengthens	C
Till we exclaim But where's music the dickens	C
Blot ye the gold while your spider web strengthens	C
Blacked to the stoutest of tickens ''	-
	-
XXI	C
	-
I for man's effort am zealous	C
Prove me such censure unfounded	P
Seems it surprising a lover grows jealous	C
Hopes 'twas for something his organ pipes sounded	P
Tiring three boys at the bellows	C
	-
XXII	C
	-
Is it your moral of Life	H
Such a web simple and subtle	L
Weave we on earth here in impotent strife	H
Backward and forward each throwing his shuttle	L
Death ending all with a knife	H
	-
XXIII	C
	-
Over our heads truth and nature	A
Still our life's zigzags and dodges	C
Ins and outs weaving a new legislature	A
God's gold just shining its last where that lodges	C
Palled beneath man's usurpature	A
	-
XXIV	H
	-
So we o'ershroud stars and roses	C
Cherub and trophy and garland	P
Nothings grow something which quietly closes	C
Heaven's earnest eye not a glimpse of the far land	P
Gets through our comments and glozes	C
	-
XXV	H
	-
Ah but traditions inventions	C
Say we and make up a visage	U
So many men with such various intentions	C
Down the past ages must know more than this age	V
Leave we the web its dimensions	C
	-
XXVI	H
	-
Who thinks Hugues wrote for the deaf	H
Proved a mere mountain in labour	A
Better submit try again what's the clef	H
'Faith 'tis no trifle for pipe and for tabor	A
Four flats the minor in F	H
	-
XXVII	H
	-
Friend your fugue taxes the finger	A
Learning it once who would lose it	P
Yet all the while a misgiving will linger	A
Truth's golden o'er us although we refuse it	P
Nature thro' cobwebs we string her	A
	-
XXVIII	H
	-
Hugues I advise Me Pn	W
Counterpoint glares like a Gorgon	W
Bid One Two Three Four Five clear the arena	W
Say the word straight I unstop the full organ	W
Blare out the mode Palestrina	W
	-
XXIX	C
	-
While in the roof if I'm right there	A
Lo you the wick in the socket	P
Hallo you sacristan show us a light there	A
Down it dips gone like a rocket	P
What you want do you to come unawares	C
Sweeping the church up for first morning prayers	C
And find a poor devil has ended his cares	C
At the foot of your rotten runged rat riddled stairs	C
Do I carry the moon in my pocket	P
	-
A fugue is a short melody	P
Keyboard of organ	W
A note in music	S
The daughters of Danaus condemned to pour water	A
into a sieve	H
The Spanish casuist so severely mauled by Pascal	L
A quick return in fencing	S
A closely woven fabric	S
Giovanni P da Palestrina celebrated musician	W
