Shun the crafty and treacherous blade,

When a woman but one thing doth grant,

O nothing, no nothing the tyrant doth want,

Though many exclaim ®gainft the fair,
that they firft their ruia began,
The truth it doth plainly appear,

By flatteries th* damfei tomplies,

While* the traitor,the traitor triumphs o'er the

If marriage (he mentions, he'll tell,

For modefiy's bounds fhe has pafs'd,

On the town, on the town, then her lot it is caft,

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A collection of ballads and songs on a variety of topics. The title song is a celebration of the cessation of conflict between France and England during the brief peace of 1801-1803. Published in 1802, this song was printed after the signing of the Treaty Amiens and before the return of hostilities in 1803; consequently, it is overwhelmingly positive in its message, rejoicing in the return of the sailors and soldiers and the end of violence between the two nations. The second song is a fairly explicit song about cold weather, cuddling, and the sexual escapades it might or might not lead to as a young man tries to convince his sweetheart to lie with him. Following this is a song about a cobbler’s wife who gets drunk on brandy and is harried through the streets by her husband, and a short song praising the beauty of Nanny of the hill. The final song is an admonitory tale, directed at a young woman named Maria, which cautions her against listening to young men who try and persuade young women to lie with them before marriage, which would result in her being cast out on the street to end up in a Bagnio, or brothel.

T H E CORONATION.
At home in our village when we'd done our daily
labour,
The barber every night would read the news to each
good neighbour;
I heard it all, I did not wait for feyther's approbation,
I started up to Lunnon town to see the Coronation.

Well, there I got, and just at first I felt myself quite
flustered,
To see all round Westminster, such lots of people
mustered;
But, howsomderer, in the crowd I got myself a station,
And there I waited anxiously to see the Coronation.

At last the Queen herself did come, dressed up so fine,
Oh! dear me,
I ne'er before in all my life had had a queen so near
me;
She graciously did make her bow to me and congregation,
So I was taken notice of at the famous Coronation.

When this wur done, I thought, thinks I, I've seen all
that I can see,
So out I got, and found that I'd paid dearly for my

I'd lost a sovereign and my purse, and on examination,
My watch which ne'er did go before, did go at the
Coronation.

THE M I S S L E T O E 130UGU.
r
tA
The missletoo hung in the castle hall,
The holly branch shone on the old oak wall;
And the baron's retainers were blithe and gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday :
The baron beheld with a father's pride,
His beautiful child young Lovel's bride:
While she with her bright eyes seemM to be
The star of the goodly company.
Oh the missletoe bough,
Oh the missletoe bough.
" I'm weary of dancing now," she cried,
44 Here, tarry a moment, 111 hide, I'll hide ;
And Lovel be sure thou'rt the first to trace,
The clud to my secret lurking place."
Away she ran, and her friends began,
Each tower to search, and each nook to scan ;
And young Lovel cried, 44 Oh where dost thou hide,
I'm lonesome ,without thee, my own dear bride."
Oh the missletoe bough, &c.
They sought her that night, and they sought her next
day,
And they sought her in vain, when a week pass'
away;
In the highest—the lowest—the loneliest spot,
Young Lovel sought wildly, but found her n o t ;
And years flew by, and their grief at last,
Was told as a sorrowful tale long past y
And when Lovel appoar'd, the children cried,
44 See, the old man weeps for his fairy bride."
Oh the mistletoe bough, &c.
�6
At length an old chest that had long lain hid,
Was found in the castle—they raised the lid,
And a skeleton form lay mouldering there,
In the bridal wreath of the lady fair.
Oh sad was her fate, in sportive jest,
She hid from her lord in the old oak chest,
It clos'd with a spring, and-the bridal bloom
Lay withering there in a living tomb.
Oh the missletoe bough, &c.
T H E F R I A R OF O R D E R S G R A Y .
It was a Friar of orders gray
Walked forth to tell his beads ?
And he met with a lady fair,
Clad in a pilgrim's weeds.
Now Heaven thee save, thou reverend friar,
I pray thee tell to me,
If ever at your holy shrine
My true love- thou didst see ?
And how should I your true love kno*
From many another ono ?
O, by his cockle hat and staff,
And by his sandal shoon.
O lady, he is dead and gone,
Lady he's dead and gone ;
And at his head a green grass-turf,
And at his heels a stone.
�Tet stay, fair lady, rest a while,
Beneath ^on cloister wall;
See, through the hawthorn blows the cold wind,
A M dnzzlmg rain doth fall.

0 stay me not, thou holy friar,
0 stay me not I pray ;
No drizzling rain that falls oil me
Can wash my fault away.

BILLY O'ROURKE.
1 greased my brogues and cut my stick.
At the latter end of May, sir,
And off for Dublin I set out,
To sail upon the sea, sir;
Then next to England I would go,
To reap the hay and corn, sir,
To leave old Ireland far behind,
The place where I was born, sir.
With my shillelah coh,
And my hoart so true,
Oh, Billy O'Rourke's the boy, sir.
I paid the captain six tliirteens,
To carry me over to Margate,
Before we got half over the waves,
It blew at a hell of a hard rate.
The great big stick that grew out of the ship,
Began to roar £md whistle,
�And the sailors all, both great and small,
.Cries, Pat, you will go the devil.
With my, &c.
Some fell upon their bended knees,
The ladies fell a-fainting,
But I fell to my bread and cheese,
For I always mind the main thing.
Says the sailors, to the bottom you'll go,
Says I — I don't care a farthing,
For I paid my passage to Margate you know,
And be damned but I'll stick on my bargain.
With my, &c.
The wind did whistle some to sloop,
Till we got to the place of landing,
And those that were the most afraid,
Were out the ladies handing.
Says I, your clothes feel mighty droll,
You surely must have riches,
And for your heart, it don't lie in the right part,
It surely must lie in your breeches.
With my, &o.
Then for London I set out,
And going along the road, sir,
I met an honest gentleman,
Who proved to be a rogue, sir
He" cocked a pistol to my head,
Close to my very mouth, sir,
Saying—-Paddy my boy, I'd have you be smarL,
In handing out your money, sir.
With my, &c.
�Oh, have you patience, honest gentleman,
And hear me speak a word, sir,
For twopence is all the money I've got,
To carry me many a mile, sir.
Ho said no longer he would wait,
His patience I had fairly tired ;
His pan it flashed, his brains I smashed,
With my shillelah that never missed lire.
With my, &c.

There's no a nook in a* the land
King William rules sae well,
There's naething half sae canty—grand,
As blythe Dumbarton's dell;
And would you speer the reason why,
The truth I'll fairly tell,
A winsome lassock lives hard by
Dumbarton's bonnie delL
Up by yon glen Loch Lomond laves,
Where bold McGregors dwell;
And bogles dance o'er heroes' graves,
There lives Dumbarton's belle ;
She's blest with every charm in life,
And this I know full well—
I'll ne'er be happy till my wife
Is blythe Dumbarton's belle,

MRS JOHNvStON,

O h ! I've got a charming bride,
Through life we both shall sweetly glicta;
She's really worth the worl4 beside—
Her name is Mrs Johnston,
'.boifoxnte I'ginxnd aid Jjodgjift ii iiisq fcill
We both agree in every frame,
So one another we'll ne'er blame;
She's humpy, bandy—I'm the same,
O lovely Mrs Johnston.
I to a gin-shop go each day,
A dozen drops I stow away,
And after that I skittle play,
And so does Mrs Johnston.
; Hob ^ncKsdaJuG edJ^M eA
I beats the chaps with great delight,
And puts the garter out of sight;' m [ }
Then stagger home dead-drunk at night.
And so does Mrs Johnston.
To free-and-easys I repair,
My name is famous every where,
I very often take the chair,
And so does Mrs Johnston.

Do you th^nk I'd pay my penny ?—hm>,
I chaunts the Bay of Biscay, 0 1
And like a Lord tobacco blow,
And so does Mi s Johnston.
�11
At dancing I am quite a Don,
To twopenny hops I often run;,
And I can shuffle too like fun,
And so can Mrs Johnston.
At fighting I can take my share,
I am a match for any here;
A fighting man I am they swear,
And so is Mrs Johnston.
Amongst the girls 1 sometimes roam,
'Bout which she does not stamp or foam,
I often take a lover home,
And so does Mrs Johnston.
In getting children I'm not shy,
For modesty is all my eye ;
I've got four young ones on the sly,
And so has Mrs Johnston.
'Bout dress I do not care a jot,
Though once of clothcs I had a lot,
I've pawned all but the suit I've got.
And so has Mrs Johnston.
Of trouble I have had some shocks,
And 'cause I gave a cove some knocks,
I twice have been put in the stocks,
And so has Mrs Johnston.
Now all who are to wedlock prone,
If you its joys would have alone,
Select a temper like your own,
As I did Mrs Johnston.
�12
For if your ways bring misery,
As long as you both agree.
You'll live in fun, and joyful be,
Like me and Mrs' Johnston.

Do you ever think on me, Peg ?
Do you ever think on me;
When I'm in the kitchen cooking
Calipash and Calipee ?
When the pork is on the fire,
And the sausage in the pan;
Do you think I can forget, love ?
Oh noi I never can.
Then do you, &c.
When a corn is on your toe, dear,
Which with plaster you are healing,
Do you ever think on me, Peg,
When potatoes I am peeling ?
Then do you, &c.

While I can twirl a mop,
Or cook a steak with oyster sauce,
Or broil a mutton chop!

Bright Sol, from the east spread*
His beauties around,
O'er mountain and valley so low ;
The chase our delight, when wo follow tho hound,
And the musical sound of the huntsman's hallo!
This is our song—Dash, dash along,
To chase the boar, streaming with gore,
With fiery eyes, his bristles rise ;
Still we, undaunted, tune our song,
With forward, my boys, dash, dash along,
To the mellow-toned horn!
COME, T E L L M B W H E R E T H E M A I D IS

Come, tell me where the maid is found,
Whose heart can love without deceit—
And I will rauge the world around,
To sigh one moment at her feet.
O tell me wliere's her sainted home,
What air receives her blessed sigh ;
A pilgrimage of years I'll roam,
To catch one sparkle of her eye.
And if her cheek bo rosy bright,
While truth within her bosom lies;
I'll gaze upon her morn and night,
Till my hoart leave through my eyes.

Show me on earth a thing so rare,
I'll own all miracles are true ;
To make ono maid sincere and fair,

Upon the time when Mary wed

But now he makes our hearts fu' sad,
He takes the field wi' his "white oockadfc.

He is a brisk an' a bonny lad;
Betide what may, I will be wed,
And follow the boy wi* the white cockade.

My gude grey mare, and hawldt cow,
To buy myself a tartan plaid.

THE THISTLE.
Let them boast of the country gave Patrick his fame,
Of the land of the Ocean, and Anglian name,
With their red blushing roses and shamrock sae
green;
Far dearer to me are the hills of the North,
The land of blue mountains, the birth-place of worth,
Those mountains where Freedom has fix'd her abode,
Those wide-spreading glens, where no slave ever trod,
Whero blooms the red heather and thistle sae green.
Though rich be the soil where blossoms the rose,
And bleak the fiigh mountains, and cover'd with snows,
Where blooms the red heather and thistle sae green ;
Yet for friendship sincere, and for loyalty true,
And for courage so bold, which no foe could subdue,
IJnmatch'd is our country, unrivaU'd our swains,
And lovely and true are the nymphs on our plains,
Where rises the thistle—-the thistle sae green.
Far-fam'd are our sires in the battles of yore,
And many the cairnies that rise on our shore,
O'er the foes that invaded the thistle sae green ;
And many a cairnie shall rise on our strand,
Should the torrent of war ever burst on our land;
Let foe como on foe, like wave upon wave,
We'll give them a welcome,—we'll give them a grave,
Beneath the red heather and thistle sae green!
O dear to your souls are the blessings of heaven,
The freedom we boast of, the land which we live in,
The land of the thistle—the thistle sae green ;
�21
For that land and that freedom our fathers have bled,
And we swear by tho blood which onr fathers have
shed.
That no foot of a foe shall e'er tread on their grave,
But the thistle shall bloom on the bed of the brave,
The thistle of Scotia!—the thistle sae green!

The ne'er a sleep has clos'd my e'en,
Och hey, Johnnie lad,

I thought it was the place we set,
And waited maist till dawning morn.

Let my waiting stand for thine,
We'll awa to Craigton shaw,
And seek the joys we tint yestreefi.

That's newly sprung in Jiine;

As fair art thou, my bonny lass,
So deep in love am I ;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a* the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun ;
1 will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare-thee-weel, my only love!
And fare-thee-weel a while ;
And I will come again, my love,
Tlio' it were ten thousand mile!

T H E BOYS OF K I L K E N N Y .
Oh! the boys of Kilkenny are brave roaring blades.
And if ever they meet with the nice little maids,
They'll kiss them, and coax them, and spend their
money free,
Of all the towns in Ireland, Kilkenny for me.
And of all towns, &c.
In the town of Kilkenny there runs a clear stream.
In the town of Kilkenny there lives a fair dame,
Her lips are like roses, and her mouth much the same,
Like a dish of fresh strawberries smother'd in cream.
Fal de ral, &c.
Her eyes are as black as Kilkenny's large coal,
Which in my poor bosom have burnt a large hole;
Her mind, like its river, is mild, clear, and pure,
But her heart is more hard than its marble, Pm sure
Fal de ral, &c,
Kilkenny's a pretty town, and shines
stands,
The more I think on it, the more :nj heart; warms,
For if I was at Kilkenny, I'd think myself at home,
For it's there I get sweethearts, but here I get none.
Fal do ral, &c.
A WORD TO THE WISE.
I love you by Heaven, what can I say more ?
Then set not my passion a-cooling;
If you yield not at once, I must e'en give the^ o'er,
For I am but a novice at fooling.
<
�24
What my love wants in words, I will make up in deeds
Then why should we waste time in stuff, child ?
A performance, you know well, a promise exceeds,
And a word to the wise is enough, child.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A collection of 23 songs and ballads on a wide variety of themes. Some are humorous, others are disturbingly tragic, such as The Mistletoe Bough, in which a young bride playfully hides from her young husband in an oak chest that then accidentally shuts on her, where she is only found years later. Several focus on the theme of love, courtship, and marriage, including a song where a young woman claims she will sell all her belongings in exchange for a tartan plaid so that she can follow her soldier lover into war.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A collection of songs and ballads, most of which focus on love, beauty, and courtship. The first describes the childhood and youth of a young couple and the wish of the singer to return to those days of love and joy, while the second is a song by Robert Burns reproaching the birds for singing and nature for blooming when heartache is at hand. The next song arranges a clandestine meeting, signaled by a whistle, between a young couple in order to avoid the disapproval of the girl’s parents, while the following ballad describes the beauty and charm of a country girl. The next song describes the love between a sailor and his girl, who waits for him faithfully despite temptations by wealthy lairds or false friends and musicians, followed by a final brief song which praises chaste and constant love over false passion.

Description
An account of the resource
Allan Ramsay (1686-1758) is referred to as the author of this particular song, but suggests it was derived from Dunbar’s writings in the 15th century and perhaps even earlier sources as well.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This song tells the humorous tale of a miller and his young wife, who has been having an affair with the local priest. When a scholar traveling from St. Andrews happens upon the mill in the evening, the miller invites him to stay the night with his wife and him, sending him along on his own until his work at the mill is done. When the scholar reaches the house, the miller’s wife refuses to let him in, instead sending him to the barn, where he uses cracks in the wall to discover that the wife has the priest over for supper. When the miller comes home early, the priest is trapped in the house and the wife hides the evidence of their feast. The scholar is invited back into the house, where he uses his witnessed information to convince the miller of his ability to summon food and drink from thin air and then pretends to conjure a demon in the form of a priest, allowing the priest to escape, but not without a heavy blow from the miller who believes he is driving the devil out of his house.

MOLLY O'RIGGE.
Sit ye awhile and tipple a bit.
The Delights of Wine.
Caledonia!Native Land !
The Warrior Bard.
Beadle of the Parish.
Glasgow-Printed for the Booksellers.
�MOLLY O'RIGGE, AND TOM TREACLE.
At Cork lived Miss Molly O'Rigge,
With a nose like the snout of a pig,
Long carroty locks,
And ten pounds in the stocks,
Was the fortune of Molly O'Rigge,
What a beautiful Molly O'Rigge.
Tom Treacle lov'd Moll O' Rigge,
A pert little tea-dealing prig,
Says he, Molly my dove,
My heart is brim full of love.
Says she, Grocer, I don't care a fig,
What a hard hearted Molly O'Rigge.
I hate men, quoth Molly O'Rigge.
In love they're a mere whirligig :
But Cornelius O' Whack,
Gave her heart such a smack,
That to church they both caper'd a jig,
What a false-hearted Molly O'Rigge.
Says the tea-dealer, Molly O'Rigge,
My heart is with jealousy big,
�3
Says she, hold your clack,
I'm now Mrs O' Whack
I'm no longer Molly O'Rigge,
Good bye, Mistress Molly O'Rigge.
SIT YE AWHILE AND T I P P L E A B I T .
We're gaily yet, and we're gaily yet,
And we're no yery fou but we're gaily yet,
Then sit ye awhile and tipple a bit,
For we're no very fou but we're gaily yet.
There was a lad, and they ca'd him Dick,
He gae me a kiss, and I bit his lip,
And down in the garden he shew'd me a trick
And we're no very fou, but we've gaily yet,
And we're gaily yet, &c.
There were three lads, and they were clad,
There were three lasses, and them they had,
Three trees in the orchard are newly sprung,
And we's a get geer enough, we're but young.
And we're gaily yet, &c.
Then up wi't Ailey, Ailey,
Up wi't Aily now,
Then up wi't Ailey,quo'kimmer,
We'sagetroaringfou.
�4,
One was kiss'd in the barn,
Another was kiss'd on the green,
And the t'other behind the pease-stack,
Till the mow flew up in her e'en.
Then up wi't Ailey, &c.
Now f y e John Thomson, rin,
Gin ever ye ran in your life,
De'il get ye, but bye, my dear Jock,
There's a man got to bed with your wife.
Then up wi't Ailey &c.
Then away John Thomson ran,
And I true he ran with speed,
But, before he had run his length,
The false loon had done the deed.
Then up wi't Ailey, &c.
We're gaily yet, and we're gaily yet,
And we're no very fou but we're gaily yet
Then sit ye a-while and tipple a bit,
For we're no very fu' but we're gaily yet.
T H E DELIGHTS OP W I N E .
Let's be merry with jest and song,
Time as he swiftly flies, my boys,
Will not a second our bliss prolong,
But with his scythe mow down our joys ;
�5
Then seize him by the forelock, Mirth,
pleasure drown Him in the bowl—
We'll toast each laughter-loving soul.
O the delights which wine can give,
It every gen'rous bosom fires,
Can make the sad again to live,
And adds to Venus' fond desires.
Sly Cupid sips the potent draft,
The little urchin drinks to love,
While mortals of the heavy heart,
Own it celestial from above.
Sorrow but comes too soon my boys,
Fill your glass to each beauty bright,
Talk not to us of flames or darts,
We'll drink all day, and love all night.
Care,—be thou banish'd from our board,
Momus,—assist with all thy crew :
Come,—Humour,—ape thy merry board.
And—Wit,—assist thy chosen few.
CALEDONIA ! NATIVE LAND
!
Native land ! I'll love thee ever,
Let me raise the welcome strain ;
Mine were banish'd feet, that never
Hop'd to press thy turf again,
�6
Now these eyes illum'd with gladness,
As they scan'd thy beauties o'er,
Ne'er again shall melt in sadness,
Parting to return no more,
Caledonia, native land,
Native land, I'll love the ever.
Native land, tho' fate may banish,
And command me far to part,
Never can thy mem'ry vanish,
From this glowing, grateful heart,
Let an Indian solstice burn me,
Or the snows of Norway chill,
Hither still, my heart, I turn thee,
Here, my country, thou art still,
Caledonia, native land,
Native land, I'll love thee ever.
T H E WARRIOR BARD.
The Minstrel Roy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him,
His father's sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.—
"Land of song!" said the warrior-bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
" One sword, at least thy rights shall guard,
" One faithful harps shall praise thee ! "
�7
The minstrel fell!—But the foeman's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under,
The harp be lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its cords asunder;
And said, " No chains shall sully thee,
" Thou soul of love and bravery!
" Thy songs we're made for the pure and free
"They shall never sound in slavery."
BEADLE OF T H E
PARISH.
I'm a very knowing prig,
With my laced coat and wig,
Though they say I am surly and bearish
Sure I look a might man,
When I flourish my rattan,
To fright the little boys,
Who in church-time make a noise,
Because I'm beadle of the Parish.
Here and there,—every where?
Hollo now, —What's the row ?
Fine to do,—Who are you?
Why, zounds, I'm the Beadle of the Parish.
Whenever I come nigh,
How I make the beggars fly,
My looks are so angry and scarish,
Like other city folks,
I do business in the stocks.
�8
That whatever is lost I tell,
For you know I bear the bell,
Because I'm the Beadle of the Parish,
Noise and clatter,—What's the matter?
Holla, fellow—You are mellow,
Finetodo,—don't you see,
Why, zounds—I'm the Beadle of the Parish.
I'm an officer, don't laugh,
But indeed I'm on the staff,
And all sax I do pretty fairish;
On a Sunday strut about,
And I keep the rabble out,
The Church-wardens march before,
Just to open the pew door.
Because I am Beadle of the Parish,
Puff away,—merry day,
Drink about,—See it out,
There will be—snacks for me,
Because I'm the Beadle of the Parish,
FINIS.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A collection of songs and ballads on a variety of topics. The first is a humorous song describing the beauty (or lack of it) of the sharp-tongued Molly O’Rigge who still manages to be courted by the local tea-dealer, who she rejects, and Cornelius O’Whack, who she marries and becomes Mrs. O’Whack. The next two songs are drinking songs, discussing the pleasures of both alcohol and sexual escapades, followed the tribute of an emigrant to the beauty of his native shores of Scotland. The next song tells of the warrior bard, Ministrel Roy, who dies in battle and destroys his harp so that it will never be used by his foes, while the final song pokes fun at the local Beadle—or minor church official—of the parish who struts about, sticks his nose into other people’s business, and more or less tries to ruin everyone else’s fun.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This is a comical Scots tale about a simple sack-weaver who decides it is high time he married. Taking advice from his mother, he decides to woo one of the butcher’s three daughters, two of whom have bastards by other men, and one who has a hunch-back and other undesirable physical qualities. Many humorous hijinks ensue during his courtship and marriage to Girzy, who looks as though “she had been nine months in a haggis.” Highlights include Tam being taught manners by his brother-in-law, Tam kissing a decapitated cow’s head instead of his betrothed, and Tam pouring soup on his sister-in-law’s backside in the middle of the night.
