Extractions: Andrew Barton "Banjo' Paterson (1864-1941). Poet, ballad writer, journalist and horseman. 'Banjo' Paterson, known as Barty to his family, was born Andrew Barton Paterson at Narrambla, near Orange on 17 February 1864. His parents, Andrew Bogle and Rose Isabella Paterson were graziers on Illalong station in the Yass district. Paterson's early education took place at home under a governess and then at the bush school in Binalong, the nearest township. From about the age of ten years he attended the Sydney Grammar School. He lived with his grandmother in Gladesville and spent the school holidays at Illalong station with his family. After completing school the 16-year-old Paterson was articled to a Sydney firm of solicitors, Spain and Salway. He was admitted as a solicitor in 1886 and formed the legal partnership, Street and Paterson. During these years Paterson began publishing verse in the Bulletin and Sydney Mail under the pseudonyms 'B' and 'The Banjo'. Paterson travelled to South Africa in 1899 as special war correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald during the Boer War, and to China in 1901 with the intention of covering the Boxer Rebellion but he arrived after the uprising was over. By 1902 Paterson had left the legal profession. The following year he was appointed Editor of the Evening News (Sydney), a position he held until 1908 when he resigned to take over a property in Wee Jasper.

"Banjo" Paterson 1864-1941 I love parodies of famous poets by other famous poets, so it was a pleasant thrill, while reading through a collection of poems, to read the opening line of 'Come-by-Chance'. Raven parodies are a wildly variable lot, but I had no fears that Paterson would disappoint me, and indeed he has not. What I didn't expect, though, was that the parodic element would confine itself to the (brilliant) first two lines. Paterson packs the entire punchline of his parody into the phrase "'twas the Postal Guide, in fact", and then, the reader having been supplied the promised laugh, uses the lines as a springboard into a decidedly *non*-parodic poem. By the second verse, the poem has taken on more of the air of Turner's "Romance" [ Poem #238 ], evoking a sense of distance and otherness through its use of exotic place names - with, perhaps, a dash of Lehrer's "Lobachevsky" in its recognition of the humorous aspect of those names. By verse three, the poem is pure Paterson; we recognise and welcome the familiar scenes of the Australian bush, and the men who inhabit it. And note, in passing, the similarity between the second half of today's poem and that of "Clancy of the Overflow" [ Poem #566 Poem #85 One of the benefits of running Minstrels is that it encourages me to surf other people's poetry pages. I discovered today's poem on the following delightful (and cheerfully labyrinthine) site:
