Fadladinda says to Tatlanthe (3 syl):
Chronon-hoton-thologos [ch = k].
A burlesque pomposo in Henry Carey's farce, so called.
Anyone who delivers an inflated address. Chrononhotonthologos, Stage production The Young Widow comes from the Horace Vincent manuscript tune book. The Black Joke was a very popular and extremely vulgar and bawdy street song in England, and was a huge success in the New World as well. It was played as a dance tune as early as 1734 when it appeared in the Henry Carey's burlesque stage piece Chrononhotonthologos. The tune (with varied melody) started appearing in American collections (with dancing instructions) in the 1780s. This version is from Henry Beck's book, dated 1786.
