THE B U X O M D & h t £ OF R E A D I N G ^
E A R Reading there lived a buxom dame,
The wife of a cobler, Joan was her name,
-She had a fine hen of a delicate
fizfc,
The like you never beheld with your eyes.
N
;
She had a red head, grey wings, yellow k g s ,
Each Summer (he laid a buftiel of eggs ;
And Joan la ft Summer v^oald fet her indeed,
For fhe was refdlv'd to have more of her treed.
And as (lie was fet ting her upon a day,
A ffcepherd came to her, arsi thus he did fay ;
Oh ! what are you doing ! (he anfwer'd him then,
I ' m going to fet a miraculous'be
a
/
Why than fays the fbepherd to keep the egg's warm*
^ n d that they-may profper and come to no harm i
You 'natfft fet the eggs in a hrgc cuckpW's car,
And then, all the chickens wiR come to good hap,
I have neVr a cuckold's cap, fltephcrd. fays fhe,
But rseverthelefs Twill be ruled by thee.
For this very momfnlTil trudgeup and down,
A n d borrow one, If there be one in the town.
She went to her neighbour, and thus die did fay,
Came lend me thy cuckold's cap* neighbour, I pray,
I am going to fet a miraculous hen,
And when I've done with it, Pil brmg.it again.
The neighbour's tvife anfwer'd, & thus reply'd,
Had 1 fuch a thing, y^u fliould not he denyM ;
Years fourteen or fifteen I have been a wife,
Jind my huihaad had rse'ct fukch 3 thing it his life.
<

But go to my coufra that lives at the milljShe had one 1 know,
may have it iilli;
Tell her i fent you, ilie'll'lend it I know
I thank you, faid Joan, and away (he did go*
Then fir sight to the houfs oT the miller (he wentp
And told her that fne by her con fin was-fept,
T o borrow a thing that was ablblute Tare,
A large cuckold's cap which her hufband did wean
I do not deny but fuch things there may be,
But why ftiould my caufin dire& you to m £ !
Thefe nineteen or twenty years I have been wed5
And my hulband had ne'er fuch a cap on his head.
But go to the Quaker that lives by the $wan s
If I am not mift&ken, I think fhe has one, v
And tell her, fhe'il lend it I know for my fake, "
Add I for the fame a great favour will take.
So (lie went to the-houfe of old Yea and Nay ?
And fpoke to his wife that was youthf ul and gay %
Saying,I'm come for to borrow, if you will but lend
A large cuckold's cap, I was fent by a friend.
T h e Quaker's wife nodded, & faid with a frewtf*
1 hzvJt fuch a thing if thou'd givcrae a.crown;
Bcfides, I'd not lend it, fuppofe that I had,
For fe^r it &ovld make my poor hufband run mad.
In town there are many young women, perhaps
Are cunning and artful in making fuch caps j
But what are their nature, I cannot well fay,
Therefore excufe me friend Joan, I thee pray.
Now Joan being tired, and weary withal,
Says (he, I have no "good fortune St all ;
It is the beginning, I think of all farrow, (row.
TQ trudge up and down, "and of neighbours to bor?

A poor cuckold's cap, I would borrow indeed*
A thing of fmall value, bur yet could not fpeed|
But 28 I'm a woman, adzooks, cries young Joan*
Before it be long, I'll have one of my own.

The Mifer is wretched, unhappy and poor i
B e fuffers great want in the midft of his (tore :
T h e lover's difconfolate, mopilh, and fad,
Forthat which when gain'd will foon make him mad,
T h e Mifer's a Fool, and the Lover's an Afs>
And he only's Wife, who adores the full Glafs.
Let the Mifer then hug up his ill gotten Pelf,
And to feed empty bags,he may ftarve his ownfelf^
Let the Lover ftill langutfh 'twixt hope & defpair,
And doat on a face as inconftant as fair :
But ftill may his^blifs be as great as his foul,
W h o pays no devoir but to Wine and the Bowl.

On purpofe for to Qiow his parts,

At carrying vifisals, watching beer,
this knight he never faultcr'd,
A
Full many a change of men he had,
maid-fervants foon were quitting;
For there to ft ay and ftarve ;heir guts,
they thought it was not fitting;
But one more bold than all the reft,
rogue Jack they did him call Sir,
He^fwore with pinch-gut he wou'dn't ft ay,
whatever might befal Sir.
On Monday Jack begun his work,
on Tuefday got no dinner;
And Wednefday he muft hold a faft,
and Tfeurf^ay he look'd thinner}
On Friday it no better was,

Eight times a night from his warm bed,

COMPLAINT,
Y Love has fairly proniifed,
that he would prove true,
No fooner I conftoted?
but he's left me to rue.
His adions always modeft,
his words were fweet and kind,
But he's gene to rasge the world,
and left me here behind.
But I hope he will return,
as conftant as the dove,
When I with open arms,
will meet with my true love.
When we will join our hands,
and happy we will be,
There's none in the world
ihail enjoy me but he.

��T H E
LIFE
AND
A D V E N T U R E S
OF
PETER
WILLIAMSON.
I W A S born in the parish of A b o y n e ,
Aberdeen
Shire, of respectable parents, who sent me very
early to live with an aunt at A b e r d e e n ;
when,
under the years of pupillarity, one playing on
the quay with others of my
companions—being
of a stout robust constitution—I was taken notice
of by two fellows belonging to a vessel in the
harbour, employed, in the trade called kidnapping
; that is stealing young children from their
parents, and selling them as slaves in plantations
abroad.
Being market out by those monsters of
impiety as their prey, I was cajoled on board the
ship by them, where I was no sooner got, than
they conducted me between the decks to some
others they had kidnapped in the same manner.
At that time, I had no sense of the fate that was
destined for me, and spent the time in childish
�4
amusements with my fellow-sufferers in the steerage,
being never suffered to g o upon deck whilst
the vessel lay in the harbour.
In about a month's time the ship set sail for
America.
I cannot forget that, when we arrived
on the coast we were destined for, a hard gale of
wind sprung up from the S. E. and, to the
captain's
great surprise (he not thinking he was near
land, although having been 11 weeks on the
passage),
about twelve o'clock at night, the ship
struck on a sand bank off Cape M a y , near the
Capes of Delaware, and, to the great terror and
affright of the ship's company, in a 'short time
was almost full of water.
T h e boat was then
hoisted out, into which the captain and his fellow
villians, the crew, got with some difficulty,
leaving me and my deluded companions to perish,
as they then naturally concluded inevitable death
to be our fate.
Often, in my
distresses
and
miseries since, have I wished that such had been
the consequence, when in a state of innocence !
But Providence thought proper to reserve me
for future trials of its goodness.
Thus abandoned
anddeserted, without the least prospect of relief,
but threatened every moment with death, did
these villians leave us.
T h e cries, the shrieks
and tears of a parcel of infants, had no effect on,
or caused the least remorse in the breasts of these
merciless wretches.
Scarce can I say to which
�5
to give the preference, whether to such as these,
who have had the opportunity of knowing the
Christian religion ; or to the savages herein after
described, who profane not the gospel, or boast
of humanity ; and if they act in a more brutal and
butcherly manner, yet it is to their enemies, for
the sake of plunder and the rewards offered them
for their principles are alike — the love of sordid
gain being both their motives.
T h e ship being
on a sand bank, which did not give way to let
her deeper, we lay in the same deplorable condition
until morning, when, though we saw the
land of Cape M a y , at about a mile's distance, we
knew not what would be our fate.
T h e wind at length abated, and the captain,
unwilling to lose all her cargo, about ten o'clock,
sent some of his crew in a boat to the ship's side
to bring us on shore, where we lay in a sort of a
camp, made of the sails of the vessel, and such
other things as we could get.
T h e provisions
lasted us until we were taken in by a vessel bound
to Philadelphia, lying on this island, as well as
I can recollect, near three weeks.
V e r y little
of the cargo was saved undamaged, and the vessel
was entirely lost.
When arrived and landed at Philadelphia, the
capital of Pennsylvania, the captain had people
enough who came to buy us.
about £ 1 6 per
head.
H e , sold us at
What became of my
�6
unhappy companions, I never k n e w ; it was my lot
to be sold to one of m y countrymen, whose name
was H u g h Wilson, a North Britain, who had in
his youth undergone the same fate as myself—
having been kidnapped from St. Johnstown, in
Scotland.
Happy was my lot in falling into my countryman's
power, as he was, contrary to many others
of his calling, a humane, worthy, honest man.
Having no children of his own, and commiserating
my unhappy condition, he took great care
of me until I was fit for business, and, about the
12th year of my age, set me about little trifles;
in which state I continued until my 14th year,
when I was more fit for harder work.
During
such my idle state, seeing my fellow-servants
often reading and writing, it incited in me an
inclination to learn, which I intimated to my
master,
telling him I should be very willing to serve
a year longer than the contract by which I was
sold, if he would indulge me in going to s c h o o l ;
this he readily agreed to, saying that winter would
be the
best time.
It being then summer, I
waited with impatience for the other season ; but,
to make some progress in my design, I got a
Primer, and learned as much from my fellowservants as I could.
At
school, where I went
every winter for five years,
I made a tolerable
proficiency, and have ever since been improving
�7
myself at leisure
hours.
With this good master
I continued till I was seventeen years old, when
he died ; and, as a reward for my faithful service,
he left me £ 2 0 0 currency, which was then about
£ 1 5 0 sterling, his best horse, saddle, and all his
wearing apparel.
Being now my own master, having money in
my pocket, and all other necessaries, I employed
myself in j o b b i n g about the country, working for
any one that would employ me, for near seven
years, when, thinking I had money sufficient to
follow some better way of life, I resolved to
settle,
but thought one step necessary thereto was
to be married; for which purpose I applied to
the daughter of a substantial planter, and found
my suit was not unacceptable to her or her father,
so that matters were soon concluded upon, and
we married.
M y father-in-law, in order to
establish us in the world in an easy, if not affluent
manner, made me a deed of gift of a tract of land,
that lay, unhappily for me, as it has since proved,
on the frontiers of the province of Pennsylvania,
near the forks of Delaware, in Berks
County,
containing about 200 acres ; 30 of which were
well cleared, and fit for immediate use, whereon
was a good house and barn.
T h e place pleasing
me well, I settled on it, though it cost me the
major part of my money in buyingstock,household
furniture, and implements for out-door w o r k ;
�8
and happy as I was in a good wife, yet did my
felicity last me not l o n g ; for about the year 1754,
the Indians in the French Interest, who had for
a long time before ravaged and destroyed other
parts of America unmolested, I may very properly
say, began to be very troublesome on the
frontiers of our province, where they generally
appeared in small skulking parties, with yellings,
shoutings, and antic postures, instead of trumpets
and drums, committing great devastations.
The
Pennsylvanians little imagined at first that the
Indians, guilty of such outrages and violence,
were some of those who pretended to be in the
English interest; which, alas! proved to be too
true to many of us ; for, like the French in
Europe, without regard to faith or treaties, they
suddenly break out into furious, rapid outrages,
and devastations, but soon retire precipitately
having no stores nor provisions but what they
meet with in their incursions.
Some indeed
carry a bag with biscuit or Indian corn therein,
but not unless they have a long march to their
destined place of action.
And those French who
were sent to dispossess us in that part of the
world, being indefatigable in their duty, and
continually
contriving and using all manner of ways
and means to win the Indians to their interest,
many of whom had been too negligent, and
sometimes,
I may say, cruelly treated by those who
�9
pretend to be their protectors and friends, found
it no very difficult matter to get over to their
interest many who belonged to those nations in
amity with, us, especially as the rewards they
gave them were so great, they paying for every
scalp of an English person £ 1 5 sterling.
Shocking to human nature were the barbarities
daily committed by the savages, and are not
to be paralleled in ail the volumes of history !
Scarce did a day pass but some unhappy family
or other fell victims to savage cruelty.
Terrible
indeed it proved to me, as well as to many others;
I that was now happy in an easy state of life,
blessed with an affectionate and tender wife, who
was possessed of all amiable qualities, to enable
me to g o through the world with that peace and
serenity of mind which every Christian wishes to
possess, became on a sudden one of the most
unhappy and deplorable of mankind.
Scarce can
I sustain the shock which for ever recoils on me,
at thinking on the last time of seeing that good
woman.
T h e fatal 2d of October, 1754, she
that day went from home to visit some of her
relations. As I staid up later than usual, expecting
her return, none being in the house besides
myself, how great was my surprise, terror, and
affright, when, about 11 o'clock at night, I heard
the dismal war-cry, or war-whoop of the savages,
and to my inexpressible grief, soon found my
�10
house was attacted by them.
I flew to my chamber
window, and perceived them to be twelve in
number.
T h e y making several attempts to get
in, I asked them what they wanted.
T h e y gave
me no answer, but continued beating, and trying
to get the door opened.
Judge, then, the
condition I must be in, knowing the cruelty and
merciless disposition of those savages, should I
fall into their hands.
T o escape which dreadful
misfortune, having my gun loaded in my hand,
I threatened them with death if they should not
desist.
But how vain and fruitless are the efforts
of one man against the united force of so many,
and of such merciless, undaunted, and
bloodthirsty
monsters as I had here to deal with.
One
of them that could speak a little English, threatened
me in return, that, if I did not come out,
they would burn me alive in the house—telling
me farther, that they were no friends to the
English
myself
; but if I would come out and surrender
prisoner, they would not kill me.
M y terror
and distraction at hearing this is not to be
expressed by words, nor easily imagined by any
person unless in the same condition.
Little
could I depend on the promises of such creatures,
and yet, if I did not, inevitable death, by being
burnt alive, must me my lot.
Distracted as I
was, in such deplorable circumstances, I chose to
rely on the uncertainty of their fallacious promises,
�11
rather than meet with certain death, by
rejecting t h e m ; and, accordingly, went out of my
house with my gun in my hand, not knowing
what I did, or that I had it.
Immediately on
my approach, they rushed on me like so many
tigers, and instantly disarmed me.
Having me
thus in their power, the merciless villians bound
me to a tree near the d o o r ; they then went into
the house, and plundered and destroyed every
thing, carrying off what moveables they c o u l d ;
the rest, together with the house, they set fire
to, and consumed before my eyes.
T h e barbarians,
not satisfied with this, set fire to my barn,
Stable, and out-houses, wherein were about 200
bushels of wheat, six cows, four horses, and five
sheep, which were entirely consumed to ashes.
During the conflagration to describe the thoughts,
the fears, and misery that I felt, is utterly
impossible, after this, they untied me, and gave me
a great load to carry on my back, under which I
travelled all that night with them, full of the
most terrible apprehensions, and oppressed with
the greatest anxiety of mind, lest my unhappy
wife should likewise have fallen a prey to those
cruel monsters.
masters
A t day-break, my infernal
ordered me to lay down my load, when, tieing
my hands again round a tree with a small
cord, they then forced the blood out of my
finger-ends. T h e y then kindled a fire near the
�12
tree whereto I was bound, which filled me with
dreadful agonies, concluding I was going to be
made a sacrifice to their barbarity.
T h e fire being thus made, they for some time
danced round me after their manner, with various
odd motions and antic gestures, whooping,
halloeing, and crying in a frightful manner, as
it is their custom.
Having satisfied themselves
in this sort of their mirth, they proceeded in a
more tragical manner, taking the burning coals
and sticks, flaming with fire at the ends, holding
them near my face, head, hands, and feet, with
a deal of monstrous pleasure and satisfaction, and
at she same time threatening to burn me entirely
if I made the least noise or motion of my body.
T h u s tortured, as I was, almost to death,
I
suffered their brutal pleasure without being
allowed to vent my inexpressible anguish otherwise
than by shedding tears; even which, when these
inhuman tormentors observed, with a shocking
pleasure and alacrity, they would take fresh coals
and apply near my eyes, telling me my face was
wet, and that they would dry it for me.
How I
suffered these tortures, I have here faintly
described,
has been matter of wonder to me many
times; but G o d enabled me to wait with more
than common patience for a deliverance I daily
prayed for.
Having at length satisfied their brutal pleasure,
�13
they sat round the fire and roasted their meat of
which they had robbed my dwelling-.
When
they had prepared it, and satisfied their voracious
appetites, they offered some to m e ; though it is
easily imagined I had but little appetite to eat,
after the tortures and miseries I had undergone,
yet was I forced to seem pleased with what they
offered me, lest, by refusing it, they had again
resumed their hellish practices.
What I could
not eat, I contrived to get between the bark and
the tree where I was fixed, they having unbound
my hands until they imagined I had eat all they
gave m e ; but then they again bound me as b e fore, in which deplorable condition was I forced
to continue all that day.
When the sun was set,
they put out the fire, and covered the ashes with
leaves, as is their usual custom, that the white
people might not discover any traces or signs of
their having been there.
Going from thence along by the river, for the
space of six miles, loaded as I was before, we
arrived at a spot near the Apalachian mountains,
where they hid their plunder under logs of wood ,
and Oh, shocking to relate ! from thence did these
hellish monsters proceed to a neighbouring house,
occupied by one Joseph Suider and his unhappy
family, consisting of his wife, five children, and
a young man, his servant.
T h e y soon got
admittance into the unfortunate man's house, where
�14
they immediately, without the least remorse, and
with more than brutal cruelty, scalped the
tender
parents and the unhappy children; nor could
the tears, the shrieks, or cries of these unhappy
victims prevent their horrid massacre; for having
thus scalped them, and plundered the house of
every thing that was moveable, they set fire to
the same, where the poor creatures met their
final doom amidst the flames, the hellish
miscreants
standing at the door, or as near the house
as the flames would permit them, rejoicing and
echoing back, in their diabolical manner, the
piercing cries, heart-rending groans, and paternal
and affectionate soothings, which issued from
this most horrid sacrifice of an innocent family,
not contented with what they had already done,
they still continued their inordinate villiany, in
making a general conflagration of the barn and
stables, together with all the corn, horses, cows,
and every thing on the place.
Thinking the young man belonging to this
unhappy family would be of some service to them
in carrying part of their plunder, they spared his
life, and loaded him and myself with what they
had here got, and again marched to the Blue
Hills, where they stowed their goods as before.
M y fellow-sufferer could not long bear the cruel
treatment which we were both obliged to suffer,
and complaining bitterly to me of being unable
�15
to proceed any farther, I endeavoured to condole
him as much as lay in my power, to bear up
under his afflictions, and wait with patience till, by
the divine assistance, we should be delivered out
of their clutches; but in vain, for he still continued
his moans and tears, which one of the savages
perceiving as we travelled on, instantly came
up to us, and with his tomahawk gave him a
blow on the head, which felled the unhappy youth
to the ground, where they immediately scalped
and left him.
T h e suddenness of this murder
shocked me to that degree, that I was in a manner
like a statue, being quite motionless, expecting
my fate would soon be the same; however,
recovering my distracted thoughts, I dissembled
the uneasiness and anguish which I felt, as well
as I could, from the barbarians; but such was
the terror that I was under, that for some time I
scarce knew the days of the week, or what I did,
so that, at this period, life indeed became a burden
to me, and I regretted being saved from my
first persecutors, the sailors.
T h e horrid tact being completed, they kept on
their course near the mountains, where they lay
sculking four or five days, rejoicing at the plunder
and store they had got.
When
became scarce, they made their way
provisions
towards
Susquehana, where still, to add to the many
barbarities
they had already committed, passing near
�16
another house inhabited by an unhappy old man,
whose name was John Adams, with his wife and
four small children; and, meeting withnoresistance,
they immediately scalped the unhappy wife
and her four children, before the good old man's
eyes. Inhuman and horrid as this was, it did
not satiate them, for when they had murdered
the poor woman, they acted with her in such a
brutal manner, as descency, or the remembrance
of the crime, will not permit me to mention, and
this even before the unhappy husband, who not
being able to avoid the sight, and incapable of
affording her the least relief, entreated them to
put an end to his miserable being ; but they were
as deaf and regardless to the tears, prayers, and
entreaties of this venerable sufferer, as they had
been to those of the others, and proceeded in their
hellish purpose of burning and destroying his
house, barn, cattle, hay, corn, and every thing
the poor man a few hours before was master of.
Having saved what they thought proper from the
flames, they gave the old man, feeble, weak, and
in the miserable condition he then was, as well
as myself, burdens to carry, and loading
themselves
likewise with bread and meat, pursued
their journey on towards
the
Great
Swamp,
where, being arrived, they lay for eight or nine
days, sometimes diverting themselves in exercising
the most atrocious and barbarous cruelties on
�17
their unhappy victim, the old m a n ; sometimes
they would strip him naked, and paint him all
over with various sorts of colours, which they
extracted, or made from herbs and roots ; at other
times, they would pluck the white hairs from his
venerable beard, and tauntingly tell him, he was
a fool for living so long, and that they would
shew him kindness in putting him out of the
world ; to all which the poor creature could but
vent his sighs, his tears, his moans, and entreaties,
that, to my affrighted imagination, were enough
to penetrate a heart of adamant, and soften the
most obdurate savage.
In vain, alas ! were all
his tears, for daily did they tire themselves with
the various means they tried to torment him—
sometimes tying him to a tree, and whipping
at others, scorching his furrowed cheeks
with red-hot coals, and burning his legs, quite to
the knees; but the good old man, instead of
repining, or wickedly arraigning the divine justice,
like many others in such cases, even in the greatest
agonies, incessantly offered up his prayers to
the Almighty, with the most fervent thanksgivings
for his former mercies, and hoping the flames,
then surrounding and burning his aged limbs,
would soon send him to the blessful mansions of
the just, to be a partaker of the blessings there.
And during such his pious ejaculations, his
infernal plages would come round him, mimicking
�18
his heart-rending groans and piteous wailings
One night after he had thus been tormented,
whilst he and I were sitting together, condoling
each other at the misfortunes and miseries we
daily suffered, twenty scalps and three prisoners
were brought in by another party of Indians.
They
had unhappily fallen in their hands in
Cannojigge, a small town near the river Susquehana
, chiefly inhabited by the
Irish.
These
prisoners gave us some shocking accounts of the
murders and devastations committed in their parts.
T h e various and complicated actions of these
barbarians would entirely fill a large volume ; but
what I have already written, with a few other
instances which I shall select from the information,
will enable the reader to guess at the horrid
treatment the English, and Indians in their
interest, suffered for many years past.
I shall
therefore only mention, in a brief manner, those
that suffered near the same time with
This
party
who
myself;
now joined us, had it not, I
found, in their power to begin their wickedness
as soon as those who visited my habitation, the
first of their tragedies being on the 25th day of
October, 1754, when John Lewis, with his wife
and three small children, fell sacrifices to their
cruelty, and were miserably scalped and
murdered,
possessed
his house, barn, and every thing he
being burnt and destroyed.
On the 28th,
�19
Jacob Miller, with his wife and six of his family,
together with every thing on his plantation,
underwent the same fate.
T h e 30th, the house,
mill, barn, twenty head of cattle, two teams of
horses, and every thing belonging to the unhappy
George Folke, met with the like treatment—
himself, wife, and all his miserable family,
consisting
scalped,
of nine in number, being inhumanly
then cut in pieces and given to the swine,
which devoured them.
I shall give another
instance of the numberless and unheard of barbarities
they related of the savages, and proceed to
their own tragical end.
substantial
In short, one of the
traders belonging to the province, having
business that called him some miles up the country,
fell into the hands of these devils, who not
only scalped him, but immediately roasted him
before he was dead ; then, like cannibals for want
of other food, eat his whole body, and of his head
made what they called an Indian pudding.
From these few instances of savage cruelty,
the deplorable situation of the defenceless inhabitants,
and what they hourly suffered in that part
of the globe, must strike the utmost terror to a
human soul, and cause in every breast, the utmost
detestation, nor only against the authors of such
tragic scenes, but against those who, through
perfidy, inattention, or pusillanimous and erroneous
principles, suffered these savages at first,
�20
unrepelled, or even unmolested, to commit such
outrages and incredible depradations and
murders
; for no torments, no barbarities that can be
exercised on the human sacrifices they get into
their power, are left untried or omitted.
T h e three prisoners that were brought with
these additional forces, constantly repining at
their lot, and almost dead with their excessive
hard treatment, contrived at last to make their
; but being far from their own settlements,
and not knowing the country, were soon after
met by some others of the tribes or nations at
war with us, and brought back to their diabolical
masters, who greatly rejoiced at having them
again in their infernal power.

almost famished for want of sustenance,
having had none during the time of their elopement,
were no sooner in the clutches of the
barbarians, than two of them were tied to a tree,
and a great fire made round them, where they
remained till they were terribly scorched and burnt,
when one of the villians, with his scalping knife,
ripe open their bellies, took out their entrails,
and burnt them before their eyes, whilst the

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Told in first person, this autobiographic tale describes the life and miseries of Peter Williamson, who was kidnapped by slavers from the docks of Aberdeen when he was a child. Taken by the slavers to America, he was sold into bondage to a gentleman from North Britain who had experienced similar circumstances in his childhood and therefore treated Peter quite well, allowing him to pursue an education and rewarding him with freedom, a horse, and money upon his death. Peter worked his way up in the world, marrying well, gaining and working a tract of land of his own until the French-Indian War, at which point he was captured, enslaved, and tortured by Native Americans. The majority of the rest of the chapbook is dedicated to describing in gruesome detail the many acts of violence, murder, and torture that he witnesses and experiences while in the hands of his captors. The final few pages describe the fashion, food, warfare, and character of the Native Americans Peter observed during his time with this tribe before he escaped, fled to Quebec, and from there to England.

THE
LASS OF FAIR WONEi
OR THE
PARSON'S DAUGTER BETRAYED.
A CELEBRATED BALLAD, TRANSLATED
FROM THE GERMAN.
GLASGOW:
PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS.

TUB
LASS OF FAIR WONE.
the parson's bower of yew
Why strays a troubled spright,
That peaks and pines, and dimly shines
Through curtains of the night f
BESIDE
Why steals along the pond of toads
A gliding fire so blue,
That lights a spot where grows no grass,
Where falls no rain nor dew ?
The parson's daughter once was good,
And gentle as a dove,
And young and fair,—and many came
To win the damsel's lore.
High o'er the hamlet, from the hill,
Beyond the winding stream,
The windows of a stately house
In sheen of evening gleam.
There dwelt in riot, rout, and roar,
A lord so frank and free ;
That oft, with inward joy of heart,
The maid beheld km glee.
�Whether he met the dawning day
In hunting trim so fine,
Or tapers, sparkling from his hall,
Beslione the midnight wine.
He sent the maid his picture, girt
With diamond, pearl, and gold;
And silken paper, sweet with musk
This gentle message told :
Let go thy sweethearts, one and all;
Shalt thou be basely woo'd,
That worthy art to gain the heart
Of youths of noble blood ?
44
The tale 1 would to thee bewray,
In secret must be said :
At midnight hour I'll seek thy bower,
Fair lass, be not afraid.
And when the amorous nightingale
Sings sweetly to his mate,
I'll pipe my quail-call from the field:
Be kind, nor make me wait."
In cap and mantle clad he came,
At night, with lonely tread ;
Unseen, and silent as a mist,
And hush'd the dogs with bread.
And when the amorous nightingale
Sung sweetly to his mate,
She heard his quail-call in the field,
And, ah ! ne'er made him wait.
�4
The words he whisper'd were so soft,
They won her ear and heart:
How soon will she, who loves, believe!
How deep a lover's art!
No lure, no smoothing guise he spar'd,
To banish virtuous shame ;
He caird on holy God above,
As witness to his flame.
He clasp'd her to his breast, and swore
To be for ever true :
* O yield thee to my wishful arms,
Thy choice thou shalt not rue.'
And while she strove, he drew her on,
And led her to the bower
So still, so dim-—and round about
Sweet smell'd the beans in flower.
There beat her heart, and heav'd her breast
And pleaded every sense :
And there the growing breath of lust
Bid blast her innocence.
But when the fragrant beans began,
Their sallow blooms to shed,
Her sparkling eyes their lustre lost;
Her cheek, its roses fled.
And when she saw the pods increase,
The ruddier cherries stain,
She felt her silken robe grow tight,
Her waist new weight sustain.
�And when the mowers went afield,
The yellow corn to ted,
She felt her burden stir within,
And shook with tender dread.
_
And when the winds of autumn hist
Along the stubble field ;
Then could the damsel's piteous plight
No longer be conceal'd
Her sire, a harsh and angry man,
With furious voice reviled ;
" Hence from my sight! I'll none of thee
" I harbour not thy child."
And fast, amid her fluttering hair,
With clenched fist he gripes,
And seiz'd a leathern thong, and lash'd
Her side with sounding stripes.
Her lily skin, so soft and white,
He ribb'd with bloody wales ;
And thrust her out, though black the night,
Though sleet and storm assails.
Up the harsh rock, on flinty paths,
The maiden had to roam ;
On tottering step she grop'd her way,
And sought her lover's home.
" A mother thou hast made of me,
Before thou mad'st a wife :
For this, upon my tender breast,
These livid stripes are rife :
�6
" Behold."—And then, with bitter sobs,
She sunk upon the floor—
" Make good the evil thou hast wrought;
My injur'd name restored
" Poor soul; 1 1 have thee hous'd and nurs'd
*1
Thy terrors I lament.
Stay here ; we'll have some further talk—
The old one shall repent."
" I have no time to rest and wait;
That saves not my good name:
If thou with honest soul hast sworn,
0 leave me not to shame ;
But at the holy altar be
Oar union sanctified ;
Before the people and the priest
Receive me for thy bride."
" Unequal matches must not blot
The honours of my line ;
Art thou of wealth or rank for me,
To harbour thee as mine ?
What's fit and fair 111 do for thee;
Shalt yet retain my love—
Shalt wed my huntsman—and we'll then
Our former transports prove/'
" Thy wicked soul, hard-hearted mm,
May pangs in hell await!
Sure, if not suited for thy bride,
1 was not for thy mate.
�7
" Go, seek a spouse of nobler blood
Nor God's just judgments d r e a d So shall, ere long, some base-born wretch
Defile thy marriage bed.
Then, traitor, feel how wretched they
In hopeless shame immerst;
Then smite thy forehead on the wail
While horrid curses burst.
Roll thy dry eyes in wild despair-—
Unsooth'd thy grinning woe :
Through thy pale temples fire the ball,
And sink to fiends below."
Collected, then, she started up,
And, through the hissing sleet
Through thorn and brier, throug i flood and niiie,
She fled with bleeding feet.
" Where now," she cry'd, " m y gracious God!
What refuge have I left ?"
And reach'd the garden of her home,
Of hope in man bereft.
On hand and foot she feebly crawl'd
Beneath tlio bower unblest;
Where withering leaves and gathering snow
PreparM her only rest.
There rending pains and darting throes
Assail'd her shuddering frame ;
And from her womb a lovely boy,
With wail and weeping came.
i
�8
Forth from her hair a silver pin
With hasty hand she drew,
And press'd against its tender heart,
And the sweet babe she slew.
Whene'er the act of blood was done,
Her soul its guilt abhorr'd:
" My Jesus ! what has been my deed ?
Have mercy on me, Lord !"
With bloody nails, beside the pond,
Its shallow grave she tore :
" There rest in God ; there shame and want
Thou canst not suffer more :
Me vengeance waits. My poor, poor child*
Thy wound shall bleed afresh,
When ravens from the gallows tear
Thy mother's mould'ring flesh."
Hard by the bower her gibbet stands:
Her skull is still to show ;
It seems to eye the barren grave,
Three spans in length below.
That is the spot where grows no grass ;
Where falls no rain nor dew ;
Whence steals along the pond of toads
A hovering fire so blue.
And nightly, when the ravens come,
Her ghost is seen to glide ;
Pursues and tries to quench the flame,
And pines the pool beside.
