And whilst looking he saw the rich who cast their treasures into 



the treasury; and he saw also a poor widow; who cast two small 



coins; and he said:  In truth I tell you; that this poor widow has 



cast more than all the others; because all those have cast; as 



offerings to God; from that which to them abounded; but she from 



her poverty has cast all the substance which she had。  And he said 



to some; who said of the temple; that it was adorned with fair 



stones; and with gifts:  These things which ye see; days shall 



come; when stone shall not remain upon stone; which shall not be 



demolished。  And they asked him and said:  Master; when shall this 



be? and what sign shall there be when this begins?  He said:  See; 



that ye be not deceived; because many shall come in my name; 



saying:  I am (he); and the time is near:  beware ye of going after 



them:  and when ye shall hear (of) wars and revolts do not fear; 



because it is needful that this happen first; for the end shall not 



be immediately。  Then he said to them:  Nation shall rise against 



nation; and country against country; and there shall be great 



tremblings of earth among the towns; and pestilences and famines; 



and there shall be frightful things; and great signs in the heaven:  



but before all this they shall make ye captive; and shall 



persecute; delivering ye over to the synagogue; and prisons; and 



they shall carry ye to the kings; and the governors; on account of 



my name:  and this shall happen to you for truth。  Keep then firm 



in your hearts; not to think before how ye have to answer; for I 



will give you mouth and wisdom; which all your enemies shall not be 



able to resist; or contradict。  And ye shall be delivered over by 



your fathers; and brothers; and relations; and friends; and they 



shall put to death some of you; and all shall hate you for my name; 



but not one hair of your heads shall perish。  With your patience ye 



shall possess your souls:  but when ye shall see Jerusalem 



surrounded; then know that its fall is near; then those who are in 



Judea; let them escape to the mountains; and those who are in the 



midst of her; let them go out; and those who are in the fields; let 



them not enter into her; because those are days of vengeance; that 



all the things which are written may happen; but alas to the 



pregnant and those who give suck in those days; for there shall be 



great distress upon the earth; and it shall move onward against 



this people; and they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and they 



shall be carried captive to all the countries; and Jerusalem shall 



be trodden by the nations; until are accomplished the times of the 



nations; and there shall be signs in the sun; and in the moon; and 



in the stars; and in the earth trouble of nations from the fear 



which the sea and its billows shall cause; leaving men frozen with 



terror of the things which shall come upon all the world; because 



the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; and then they shall see 



the Son of Man coming upon a cloud with great power and glory:  



when these things begin to happen; look ye; and raise your heads; 



for your redemption is near。















THE ENGLISH DIALECT OF THE ROMMANY















'TACHIPEN if I jaw 'doi; I can lel a bit of tan to hatch:  N'etist 



I shan't puch kekomi wafu gorgies。'







The above sentence; dear reader; I heard from the mouth of Mr。 



Petulengro; the last time that he did me the honour to visit me at 



my poor house; which was the day after Mol…divvus; (109) 1842:  he 



stayed with me during the greatest part of the morning; discoursing 



on the affairs of Egypt; the aspect of which; he assured me; was 



becoming daily worse and worse。  'There is no living for the poor 



people; brother;' said he; 'the chok…engres (police) pursue us from 



place to place; and the gorgios are become either so poor or 



miserly; that they grudge our cattle a bite of grass by the way 



side; and ourselves a yard of ground to light a fire upon。  Unless 



times alter; brother; and of that I see no probability; unless you 



are made either poknees or mecralliskoe geiro (justice of the peace 



or prime minister); I am afraid the poor persons will have to give 



up wandering altogether; and then what will become of them?







'However; brother;' he continued; in a more cheerful tone; 'I am no 



hindity mush; (110) as you well know。  I suppose you have not 



forgot how; fifteen years ago; when you made horse…shoes in the 



little dingle by the side of the great north road; I lent you fifty 



cottors (111) to purchase the wonderful trotting cob of the 



innkeeper with the green Newmarket coat; which three days after you 



sold for two hundred。







'Well; brother; if you had wanted the two hundred; instead of the 



fifty; I could have lent them to you; and would have done so; for I 



knew you would not be long pazorrhus to me。  I am no hindity mush; 



brother; no Irishman; I laid out the other day twenty pounds in 



buying rupenoe peam…engries; (112) and in the Chong…gav; (113) have 



a house of my own with a yard behind it。







'AND; FORSOOTH; IF I GO THITHER; I CAN CHOOSE A PLACE TO LIGHT A 



FIRE UPON; AND SHALL HAVE NO NECESSITY TO ASK LEAVE OF THESE HERE 



GENTILES。'







Well; dear reader; this last is the translation of the Gypsy 



sentence which heads the chapter; and which is a very 



characteristic specimen of the general way of speaking of the 



English Gypsies。







The language; as they generally speak it; is a broken jargon; in 



which few of the grammatical peculiarities of the Rommany are to be 



distinguished。  In fact; what has been said of the Spanish Gypsy 



dialect holds good with respect to the English as commonly spoken:  



yet the English dialect has in reality suffered much less than the 



Spanish; and still retains its original syntax to a certain extent; 



its peculiar manner of conjugating verbs; and declining nouns and 



pronouns。  I must; however; qualify this last assertion; by 



observing that in the genuine Rommany there are no prepositions; 



but; on the contrary; post…positions; now; in the case of the 



English dialect; these post…positions have been lost; and their 



want; with the exception of the genitive; has been supplied with 



English prepositions; as may be seen by
