A s lately faunt'ring through the Hall, Where crowds attend at Fortune's call, And Anak's Giant Sons are feen, With haughty brow, and threatening mien, I ftopp'd attentively to view, T h e features of the anxious crew; W h o , oft deceived by Fortune's wiles, Expelled her uncertain fmiles. T h e clock ftrikes nine!—the wheels turn round, Obedient to the well-known found. T h e tickets drawn, with frequent bawl, Blank!—Blank"—re-echoes through the Hall: A difmal gloom o'erfhadows all. At length, hoarfe Stent or loudly cries—• Ten thoufand pounds!" O noble prize! 44 Ten thoufand!" quickly flies around, And each eye fparkles at the found But foon, by various pafiions torn, Their breafts with various tumults burn. This fmiles with jdy; thatftarts with fear; This bites his lips; that tears his hair. Another doubts, and trembling cries— " I hope my number is the prize ! " — T h e wheel is fhut; with progrefs flow, Returning crowds in filence go. T h e day's fuccefs is quickly fhewn, And fortune's favours all made known. T h e tradefman to the office flies; His tickets blanks falute his eyes ; Amaz'd, he utters many a moan,All hope of thirty thoufand's gone; �( 3 ) Attacks Dame Fortune as unkind, Antl cries with difcontentecl mind— " W h y , Fortune, play me fuch vile pranks, " T o turn your -wheel, and give me blanks? " Enrich'd with vaft increafe of ftore, " I hop'd to keep my coach and four. " All blanks! Alas, my blifs is flown, " M y money loft, my credit g o n e ! " ITome he returns; defpairing ties The halter round his neck, and dies! Such is the fate of many a fool, AVho idly fpurns the golden rule ; And thus prefers uncertain gain, T o honeft Labour's golden mean. Thrice happy he, who nobly dares T o laugh at idle Fortune's fnares; Procuring, with affiduous toil, The well-earn'd riches of his native foil. ADDRESS TO T H E NIGHTINGALE BY D R . BE A T T I E . A SONG* I. why thus abandon'd to mourning and wo, W h y thus lonely Philomel, why flow thy fad ilrau; For fpring (hall return and a lover beftow, And thy bofom no trace of dejedlion retain, II. Yet if pity infpire thee, ah ! cear? not--thy h y . Mourn fweeteftcomplainer, man calls thee to monr O foothe him, whofe p'eafures like thine pafs away Full fwift they pafs, but they never return. �( 4 ) LOVE PREFERRED TO WINE : A S 0 N G* I. .ADIEU ye jovial youths, who join T o plunge old care in floods of wine ; And as your dazzled eye balls roll, Difcern him ftruggling in the bowl. II. N o r yet is hope fo wholly flown, N o r yet is thought fo tedious grown; But limpid flreams and lhady tree Retain, as yet, fame fwe ets for me. III. And fee, through yonder fllent grove, See vonder does my Daphne rove, With pride her footfteps I purfue, And bid your frantic joys adieu. IV. The fole confufion I admire, Is that my Daphne's eyes infpire; I fcorn the madnefs you approve And value reafon next to love. �( 5 ) T H E MORNING OF LIFE. A S O N G . I. H o w fweet in the morning of life, Are the fcenes which gay fancy uprears! O may they be four'd by no ftrife, Nor decay in the fhadow of years ! II. But alas! the chill ev'ning will come, And its froft ev'ry blofibm fubdue, Mcm'ry fighs o'er the pride of their bloom, But no fun the fweet charms ftiall renew. Qqqobi. UNKIND A JULIA: S O N G . I. N o dawning hope can ftrike my foul, T o wake her from lethargic wo, The place of mirth I'll haunt no more, T o fome far deep recefs I'll go. II. Thereto mourn in doleful tales, And echo through the caves fliall wind, T h e joys I once with Julia found, Though fhe's not falfe, yet file's unkind. �( 6 ) BY DR. GOLDSMITH, A SONG. W h e n lovely woman ftoops to folly, And find too late that men betray, What charms can foothe-her melancholy, What art can wafh her guilt away. II. T h e only art her guilt to cover, T o hide her fhame from ev'ry eye, T o give repentance to her lover And wring his bofom, is to die. T H E DESPAIRING LOVER A SONG. r. S i n c e robb'd of all that charm'd my view, O f all my foul e'er fancied fair, Ye fmiling native fcenes adieu, W i t h each delightful object there. II. Ye dear aflociates of my breaft, W h o f e hearts with fpeechlefs forrow fwell, And thou with hoary age opprefl, Dear author of my life farewel. III. For me, alas ! thy fruitlefs tears, Far, far remote from friends and home* Shall blaft thy venerable years, And bend thee pining to the tomb, �( 7 ) LOVE SUPERIOR TO FRIENDSHIP: A SONG. I. ' T h e pafllon that from friendfhip fprings, Unlike the dew the morning brings, Unlike the flower that drops away, Nor quits its bloom, nor feels decay. XI. Beneath the fun that rais'd its head, T h e fragrant rofe may yield its red, But love for ever ftronger growrs, T h e more its firfl felt feeling glows. III. Pleafure deftroys itfelf apace, And age deforms the faireft face, But love, weir founded will afvvage The lateft hour of weary age: IV. Then light, O love, with golden beams, M y walking fancy's midnight dreams, Sieze, early fieze, my willing heart, O hold it faft, and ne'er depart. i �( 8 ) T H E REQUEST: A S O N G . I. Y e virgin powers defend my heart From am'rous looks and fmiles, From faucy love, or nicer art, Which raoft our fex beguiles. II. From fighs and vows, from awful fears, That do to pity move, From fpeaking filence, and from tears, Thofe fprings that water love. III. But if through pafiion I grow blind, Let honour be my guide, And where frail nature feems inclin'd, There fix a guard of pride. IV. ? Tis fit the price of heav'n be pure, And worthy of its aid, For thofe who think themfelves fecure, The fooneft are betray'd. . ? � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/15fdeca52ce1b8eeb26431da843ae881.jpg 4ae8221a39c555bea80dab0ee8b47961 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

T h e following Epitaph, or Elegy, was written by Robert Sample i f Bcltr'ees about the year 160©. Hti 18 allowed to be th~ inventor of the Stanza of this Epitaph. A l a n Ramsay and William Hamilton, In writing the same measure acknowledge, v < T h e Eleg y on HABBT SIMPSON" to be « a finished piece and a standard for that kind of rhyme. See Ramsay* May I be licket wi' a bittle, Gin of your numbers I think little, Ye're never rugget, shan, nor kittle, But blythe and gabby, A n d hit the spirit to a tittle, 4i O f S t A H 0 A R T H ABBY. 9$ Ramsay's first epistle to Hamilton• u A n d on condition I were as gabby,. A s either thee or HONEST HABBY* That I lin'd a' thy claes wi' tabby, Or velvet plush, A n d then thou'd be sae far frae shabby, Thou'd look right sprush'* Hamilton's second epistle to Ramsay % �A L L A N R A M S A Y For a M o t t o t o t h e ELEGY o f P a t i e Birnie the fam< us Fidler of Kinghorn, quotes these lines out of Habby's Epitaph. " A n d then beside his valiant Acts, A t Bridals he wan mony placks." In the ancient popular Ballad of M a g g y Lauder this reference is made to Habby Simpson, There's nane in Scotlan* plays like you, * • Sin* we lost Habby S i m p s o n " SEMPLE in his History of Renfrew, when speaking of Kilbarchan Steeple, says, that i t 4 t has a restick door on the west side, which leads into the Public School, above which is a large niche intended for the Colossus or Statue of Habby Simpson." It is said, that in one of the rooms of a certain Gent.eman's house in Ayrshire, there is a full length painting of Habby Simpson, alon£ with a painting of K i n g Charles the Second. Pennecuik, of eccentric memory, published Habby Epitaph in his Collection of curious Poems. Habby died in the latter end of the Sixteenth Century, •tout 1 believe no account has ever yet been discovered cither of the time of his birth or how old he was when he died. T h e Poem itself says, he w a s t 4 T^ethless auld and tench/* it may be therefore presumed, that he being a strong robust man might 1-ive to a great age. His tombstone in Kilbarchan Parish Church-yard, is so much defaced w h h time that there are scarce any characters legible, except H . S. t h e initials of his name and a figure sortie what resembling a Flesher's chopping knife, some think it the remains of a Bag-pipe. Tradition say^s, he was a Fiesher as well as a Piper. in Kilbarchan (? st October r8o8.) there is a family of the name ol Anderson, who are related to Habby Simpson by the mother s side; that Habby Simpson had at leaft a son\ is evident from the following ANECDOTE. Francis Sem^le, Son of Robert, the author of Habby's Epitaph, had upon some occasion offended his Father, who f o r ^ long time would not speak to him, but by ,the. intercession of some friends, the Father agreed! to forgive him upoirrondition he gave a verse of psetry cxte.npor^ T h e Y o u t h asked his Father npton what �3 subject? Hit-Bather desfced him tp. a44 ? nether verse, to Habby's Epi:aph Without hesitation Francis repeated, It's now these bags are a* forfairn, A Tha* Habby left to Jock the bairn, Tho* they wjere »esv*4 wi* heilan' yairn, A n d silken thread, It maksna, they .were fiii'd wi* shairn £in' Habby's dead, f have seen the first t w o lines of this stanza of Francis Sempie*s altered thus, These P+pes whereon poor H a b * 4 i d l$arp, H e left them unto Jock the bairn.

T h e Romans always pronounced the letter C in the same manner as w e pron unc fC and the w o r d Cella is not pronounced Sella bur Kella, hence comes the w o r d Kelbarcban. T h e Flairs, Banners, Ensigns o r Colours of the T r a d e s c f K u b a r c h a n , have the portrait of St. Barchan, the titular Saint of the Parish painted on them.

By this $eal ami preaching o£ JOHN KNOX, the great .Reformer, and some others, J eyes were opened to see the mummery ark! perpieS superstition of the Popish Church, and the Jiccntio!t& lives of the Clergy of that communion. The Reformers had a few years before this time got their Religion established by law, therefore Protestants were in som6 measure secure from the effects of Popish wrath. Some person fcad wri ten a famous s>ng, but very violent against the C'ergy of the -Church of Rome, in which they were ludicropsiy exposed. This Song contaius nine Stanzas, and e«i^h stanza concludes with Hay Trix, Try me go Tr ix, under the Grene IVod Trie, on which account the Song got the name of Trixie. Tj^e following Stanza is given opt of it as a hpecimen. " The Sisteris gray, bei'oir this day, Did crune within thair Cloister, Thay feit ane Freir thai Kevis to beir, ^ T h e Feind ressareit the Foster : Syne in the Mtrk sa we:l culd w i r k , And kictiil them wantounlie ; H a y Trix Tryme go T r i x Under the Grene Wod T r i e . " I may perhaps at some future period print the whole of this Song. That this Song would fill the Catholirs, who were very numerous in these days, with rage, must be evident yet people took great delight In venting their indignation against the Papists by singing it, and to fan up the flame they often made Habby play up the A i r of it on his JJa^-pipes SEMPLE considers the want of H ihby to play Trixie as one .oss among the rest, that JCdbarchan had sustained by Habby's death.

This Adventure, as handed down by tradition, is related as follows, Habby upon some e ry occasion was p'ayi'ng on the Pcnnal Green, near Kilbarchan, when a person, wh > was moved by the Spirit of Envy at his success, came behind him and fetabbed his pipes. When Habby understood who it wab that had thus affronted him, he in great wrath drew his durk to reverse the insu;t, and in doing io, he only drew the durk a piece cut of the shea h, w h i n sheath and all came to him. Habby intoxicated y the passion he was in did not perceive it, and in maki v a violent hrust at the man, the durk went into the end of the sheath, which kept the blade from ^oing into the man's body T h e man fell by the fright a; d the violence o f t h e stroke together. Habby supposing that his durk had gone into the man's body, that length it had one into the sheath, instantly fled, and took shelter in Blacfcstone Moss, where he staid for a night and a <!ay. When ruminating over his melancholy situation, he thought to himself he would take a look at the Moody <iurk, and strange to tell, the sheath was on it. Habby did not know bur the man might recover, yet from what he witnessed he did not know but he might also be dead. With cauti us steps he ventured from his hiding place, and came to a house where he waa well known, and looking in at the window, the Mistress of the hoji3e bade him to come in. H,e told her he durst not venture in for he had killed such-a-one. She replied, •« Ise suir that caniu be for 1 saw him eae past our house this vera day " Habby said he could scarce be ieve her, though he would be very happy for it to be true. She asserted in strong terms that what she said was tru?, and convinced Habby of his mistake, S. ii. V . 3. Bar-deuch. This place i3 situated on ihe east end o f t h e town of Kubarchan.

A short folktale taken from Robert Chambers’s Popular Rhymes of Scotland, purportedly based on a recitation of Mrs. Begg, Robert Burns’ sister, and attributed to Burns himself (8). The story tells the tale of a robin who cheerfully bypasses several characters who would have enjoyed him for supper on his way to sing the king a Yule-tide morning song. The king and queen are so pleased with the robin’s song that they decide to reward him with the wren for his bride, and the entire court dances and sings at their wedding celebration.

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.

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.

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.

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! OCH H E Y ! JOHNNIE LAD. Och h e y !

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.
