    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A collection of songs and ballads. In the first ballad, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Gordon goes to visit Aberdeen with her sisters and ends up marrying a handsome but poor captain without her father’s consent. When the Duke finds out, he chases down his daughter and tries to get the captain executed. The king refuses the request, but does have the captain demoted from his rank to a single soldier. Poverty and childbirth do not appear to suit the young lady and the family goes to visit her parents. Jean is welcomed by her family back home but her husband is shunned and sent away. The poor captain is sent across the sea until he suddenly receives word that he is made the Count of Northumberland as his brother and family have died. He returns to Gordon’s castle for his wife and family, who now join him happily, but scorns the welcome of his wife’s family who are suddenly much more friendly now that he is landed in his own right. This ballad is followed by two short songs, the first describing the pleasant courtship of a boy from Aberdeen, and the second recounting the attack of Argyle against the House of Airly while the Lord of Ogilvie is away fighting for Charles Stewart. This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.]]></dcterms:abstract>
