COMPOSED BY H E R
HUSBAND.
Some men they do delight in hound?
And some in hawks take pleasure,
Some do rejoice in war and wounds,
And thereby goiri great treasure.
Some men do love on sea to sail;
And some rejoice in riding;
Bat all their judgments do them fail—
O! no such joy as chiding.
When in the morn I ope my eyes,
T o entertain the day,
Before my husband e'en can rise,
I chide him—then I pray.
When I at table take my place,
Whatever be the meat,
I first do chide—and then say grace,
If so dispo&'d to eaU
Too fat, too lean, too hot, too cold,
I ever do complain.
Too raw, too roast, too young too old
Faults I will And or feign.
�4
Let it be flesh, or fowl or fish,
It never shall be said,
But I'll fi,nd fault with meat or dish,
With master, or with maid.
But when I go to bed at night,
I heartily do weep,
That I must part with my delight—
1 cannot scold and sleep.
However this doth mitigate,
And much abate my sorrow,
That though to-night it be too late,
I'll early scold to-morrow.
T H E H I G H L A N D LAD-DIE.
The Lawland lads think they are tine,
But O! they're vain and idly gaudy;
How much unlike the g r a c e d mein,
And manly looks of my Highland laddre.
O my bonny Highland laddie;
My handsome, charming Highland laddie,
May heaven still guard, and love reward,
The Lawland lass and her Highland laddie.
If I were free at will to choose
T o be the wealthiest Lawland lady,
�I'd tak young Donald without trews,
With bonnet blue and belted plaidw.
0 my boniiie, fyc.
Tlie brawest beau in burrows town,
In a' his airs with art made ready,
Compared to him, he's but a clown,
He's finer far in's tartan plaidie.
O my bonnicy fye.
O'er benty hills with him I'll run,
And leave my Lawland kin and daddit;
Frae winter's cauld, and simmer's sun,
He'll screen me with his Highland plakfce.
O my bonnicy Sfc.
A painted room, and silken bed,
May please a Lawiand laird and lady;
But I can kiss, and be as glad,
Behind a bush, in's Highland plaidie.
O my bonnie,
F*w compliments between us pass,
l e a ' him my dear Highland laddie;
And he ca'sme his Lawhind lass,
Syne rows me in beneath his plaidie.
0 my bo7uiie9 tyc.
Xac greater joy I'll e'er pretend,
Than that his love proves true and steady
�6
Like mine to him, which ne'er rhall end,
While Heav'n preserves ray Highland laddie.
0 my bonnie, fyc.
B I L L Y AND N A N C Y ' S
PARTING.
I T was on a Monday morning,
just at the break of day,
Our ship she slipt her cable
and we were bound to sea:
The wind blew from the south-east,
and from Greenock we were boond,
The streets they were all garnished,
with pretty maids all round.
There was a pretty sailor
all in his blooming years,
H e came unto his true love,
with bitter sighs and tears;
And he came unto his true love,
to let her understand,
That he was going to leave her
into some foreign land.
Why say you so dear Billy?
these words do break my heart,
Come let us now be married,
before that we do part:
�7
These fourteen weeks nni longer.
I'm going with child to the*,
So stay at home dear Billy,
be kind and marry me.
If I should stay at home, my dear,
another would take my place,
It would be a shame to mc, love,
besides a sad disgrace:
The King he's wanting men, my dear,
and I for one must go,
And for my very life, love,
I must not answer no.
Well, I'll cut off my yellow hair,
man's clothes I will put on,
And I will go along with you,
to be your waiting man:
Like a true and faithful servant,
I on my love will wait,
No storm nor danger will I fear,
let it be e'er so great.
Your waist it is too slender,
your fingers are too small,
I fear you will not answer me,
when I do on you call,
W4ien cannons they do rattle,
and bullets tbey do fly,
And silver trumpets sounding,
to drown the dreadful «ry.
�8
If I should meat a bonny lass,
that's merry, blythe and gay,
And on her set my fancy,
what would my Nancy say?
What would I say dear Willy,
but I would love her too,
It's I would step aside, my dear,
till she would pleasure you.
Why, say you so, de-ar Nancy!
you now do gain my heart;
Come, let us now be married,
'before thpt we do part.
This o u p l e now are married,
and sailing o'er the main,
All goodness may att?nd them,
till they return again.
T O G E T H E R L E T US RANGE,
Together let U9 range the fields,
Impearl'd with the morning dew,
Or view the fruit the vineyard yields,
Or the apples clustering bough.
There in close embowered shades,
Impervious to the noontide ray,
By tinkling rills—or rosy beds,
We'll love the sultry hours away.
FINIS.

THE GOLDEN GLOVE.
A wealthy young 'squire of T amworth we hear,
He courted a nobleman's daughter so fair;
And for to marry her it was his intent,
All friends and relations had given their consent.
The time was appointed for the wedding-day,
A young farmer was chosen the father to be ;
As soon as the lady the farmer did spy,
It flamed her heart, 0 my heart, she did cry.
She turned from the 'squire, nothing she said,
Instead of being married she went to her bed,
The thoughts of the farmer still run in her mind,
The way for to have him she soon then did find.
Coat, waistcoat, and breeches she then did put on,
And a-hunting she went with her dog and her gun
She hunted all round where the farmer did dwell,
Because in her heart she lov'd him so well.
She oftentimes fired, but nothing she killed,
At lengtn the young farmer came into the field;
�3
Then for to talk with him it was her intent,
With her dog and gun to meet him she went
I thought you had been at the wedding, she cry'd,
To wait on the/squire to give him his bride ;
No, sir, said the farmer, if the truth I may tell,
I'll not give her away, for I love her too well.
Suppose that the lady should grant you her love,
You know that the 'squire your rival will prove ;
0 then, says the farmer, I'll take sword in hand,
By honour I'll gain her, or my life's at command.
It pleased the lady to hear him so bold,
And she gave him a glove that was flower'd with gold,
She told him she found it in coming along,
As she was a-hunting with her dog and her gun.
The lady went home with her heart full of love,
And she gave out a speech she had lost her glove ;
And the man that does find it and bring it to me,
The man that does find it, his bride I shall be.
The farmer was pleased when he heard the news—
With a heart full of joy to his lady he goes ;
Dear honoured lady, I've pick'd up your glove,
If you will be pleased to grant me your love.
It is already granted, I will be your bride,
1 love the sweet breath of a farmer, she cry'd ;
I'll be mistress of the dairy and milking the cows,
While my jolly brisk farmer is whistling at plows.
�4
THE ANSWER.
The 'squire he returned in a furious mood,
Swearing to be revenged in the farmer's blood;
But fortune to the farmer proving more kind,
Disappointed the 'squire of his cruel design.
The 'squire and farmer by chance did meet,
Says the 'squire to the farmer, you are undiscreet
For taking from me my lovely sweet bride ;
You shall either fight me, or die by my side.
With all my whole heart, the farmer did cry,
To fight for my jewel I'll never deny ;
So to work with vigour they instantly went,
But the 'squire yielding, gave the farmer content.
And now they are married in great splendour we hear,
The farmer possesses nine thousand a^year ;
With his beautiful lady, and likewise his hall,
He has men and maid-servants, and all at his call.
Here's a health to plough-boys, the lady did cry,
That I'm wed to a ploughman I'll never deny,
Because they are men of honour, and that we are sure,
And also do labour for both rich and poor.
After the wedding she told of the fun,
How she hunted the farmer with a dog and gun;
But now I have catched him so fast in my snare,
I'll enjoy him for ever, I vow and declare.
�5
GET UP AND B A R THE DOOR.
It fell upon a Martinmas time,
And a gay time it was then,
When our goodwife got puddings to make,
And she boil'd them in a pan.
The wind sae cauld blew south and north,
And blew into the floor,
Quoth our goodman to our goodwife,
Get up and bar the door.
My hand is in my hussy's skap,
Goodman as you may see,
An' it should na be barr'd this hundred year,
It's no be barr'd for me.
They made a paction 'tween them twa,
They made it firm and sure,
That the first word whae'er should speak,
Should rise and bar the door
Then by there came twa gentlemen,
At twelve o'clock at night,
And they could neither see house nor hall,
Nor coal nor candle light.
Now, whether is this a rich man's house ?
Or whether is it a poor ?
But ne'er a word would ane o' them speak,
For barring of the door.
�6
And first they ate the white puddings,
And then they ate the black ;
Tho' muckle thought the goodwife to hersel',
Yet ne'er a word she spak'.
Then said the one unto the other,
Here man, take my knife,
Do ye tak* aff the auld man's beard,
And I'll kiss the goodwife.
But there's nae water in the house,
And what shall we do then?
What ails you at the pudding bree
That boils into the pan ?
0 up then started our goodman,
An angry man was he ;
Will ye kiss my wife before my face.
And scad me wi' pudding bree ?
Then up then started our goodwife,
Gi'ed three skips on the floor ;
Goodman, you've spoken the foremost word,
Get up and bar the door.
NOW Y E ' R E F A R AW A', LOVE.
Oh ! now ye're far awa', love,
Ye're far awa' frae me,
O'er woodland glens, and rocky dens.
And o'er the raging sea.
�7
I stand upon the rocky shore,
The rocky hills behind,
I spy the distant ship afar,
That's driven with the wind.
I see the waves around her rise,
Ten thousand billows roar ;
The foaming surges lash the skies
Behind her and before.
Unto the winds I gave a sigh,
Unto the waves a tear ;
Up to the skies I send my cry,
0 for my dearest dear.
Kind Providence, oh! hear my voice,
Oh, wilt thou her life save ?
Oh, keep her from the sunken rocks,
And from a watery grave.
For, though she's borne awa' frae me,
Across the raging main,
Our hapless loves may yet revive,
Were we to meet again.
THE CHOUGH AND CROW.
The chough and crow to roost are gone,
The owl sits on the tree,
The hush'd wind wails with feeble moan,
Like infant charity.
�8
The wild fire dances on the fen,
The red star sheds its ray ;
Up-rouse ye then, my merry men.
It is our opening day.
Both child and nurse is fast asleep,
And closed is every flower,
And winking tapers faintly peep,
High from my lady's bower ;
Bewildered hinds with shortening ken,
Shrink on their murky way ;
Up-rouse ye then, my merry men,
It is our opening day.
Nor board nor garner own we now,
Nor roof nor latched door,
Nor kind mate, bound by holy vow,
To bless a good man's store.
Noon lulls us in a gloomy den,
And night has grown our day ;
Up-rouse ye $ien, my merry men,
And use it as ye may.

TAK* YOUR A^TLtt CLOAK ABOUT YE,
In winter when the rain rain'd caulcl,
And frost and snaw on ilka Kill,
And Boreas, with his blast sae baulcj.
Was threatening a' our kyrto kill.
Then Bell, my wife, wha lo'es nae strife,
She said to me right hastily,
Get up, goodman, save Crummie's life.
And tak' your auid cloak about ye.
My Cruminie is a useful cow,
And she is come of a good kin'.
Aft has she wet the bairns' mou\
And I am laith that she should tyne ;
Get up, goodlnan, it is fu* time,
The sun shines frae the lift sae hie,
Sloth never made a gracious end,
Go tak* your auld cloak about ye.
My cloak was ance a guid grey cloak,
And fitting for my wear ;
But now it's scantlv worth a groat,
For I've worn't this thretty year,

in days when our King Robert rang,
His trews they cost but lialf-a-ci;own ;
He said they were a groat too dear,
And ca'd the tailor thief and loon.
He was the king that wore a crown,
And thou a man of laigh degree ;
Tis pride puts a' the country down,
Sae tak your auld cloak about ye.
Every land has its ain burgh,
Ilka kind o' corn has its ain liool;
I think the world has a' gane daft,
When ilka wife her man wad rule.
Do you not see Bab, Jock, and Hab,
How they are girded galiantlie,
While I sit hurklen in the ase ;
I'll hae a new cloak about me.

And we hae had between us twa,

And why wilt thou myseV misken?
E'en tak your auld cloak about ye.

Waiting on me, my love,

And sair she lightlies me,
But weel I ken it's a' envy,
For ne'er a joe has she.

And aye since syne the neighbours round

For he's low down, he's in the broom

ROGER AND NELLY.
'Twas in the prime of summer time,
Quite pleasing was the weather,
Young Roger would a wooing go,
By the consent of his mother ;
So he was drest all in his best.
Quite smart without a wrinkle,
A rusty sword down by his side,
Tied on with beggars inkle.
�6
Then Roger call'd to his man John,
Go fetch me out odd Dobbin,
Comb out his mane, cock up his tail,
That it may not hang bobbing.
With a saddle-tree bound down with hay,
Which is a thing so proper,
And a patten ring, tied in a string
Of linsey-wolsey cropper
*
Then Roger to his chest would go
Straightway to unlock it,
Three halfpence of old Irish coin
He put into his pocket.
With the bridle best, pick'd from the rest,
Which he had for a,stirrup ;
A besom stick he had for a whip,
With half a yard of cart-rope.
Then Roger rose and took the road,
They took him for a 'torney,
With his pistol long, it was well load,
For fear he should be robbed ;
And every little while he said,
Come mend your pace, old Dobbin;
Should night o'ercast we'll lose our road,
Then let us both keep joggin'.
Then Roger to the town did go,
For his doxy to inquire ;
Making a rout he found hereout,
JSText door to the town-crier.
�7
Then he s^id to his dear Nell,
Let us in wedlock join,;
But first tell me thy fortune.
And then I'll tell thee mine.
*
I have a box without a top,
A spade without a handle,
A pepper box, an old cart rope,
And half a farthing candle;
A washing tub, a pewther dish.,
A pestle and a mortar,
A leathern bucket old and good,
'Twill serve us years in future.
'
. M erit * too cpb miU VI
Besides, says she, it is well known
I have great store of linen,
Full forty yards of hemp and yarn,
And all "of my own spinning.
0 then, says Roger, it's well known
I've Dobbin in the stable*
A pig, a calf, a crown and half,
And a rare old kitchen table.
'.oibfiifu ' mi T»f ffo'i haA
Besides, says he, I have a house,
Fetches fifteen-pence a quarter,
An old bedstead without a head,
And a pot to catch your water.
Come, said he, my dear sweet Nell,
Let us to church be jogging ;
With all my heart, I'll say my part.
Go fetch me out old Dobbin.
�8
So then to church they did repair,
And in wedlock's bands were joined ;
When all was o'er, to bed they went,
And now their toils are ended.
A LASSIE LIVES BY YONDER BURN.
A lassie lives by yonder burn
That jinks about the seggins,
There aft she gi'es her sheep a turn,
To feed amang the brakens.
Could I believe she'd woo wi' me,
In spite of mam or daddie,
I'd aften slip out owre the lea,
An' row her in my plaidie.
Her breast to busk I'd violets pu?
That blaw aboon the boggie,
And blue bells hingin' wat wi' dew
Frae yonder glen sae foggie.
Could I believe she'd woo wi* mef
An' tak me for her laddie,
I'd aften slip out owre the lea,
And row her in my plaidie.
I maun awa, I canna stay,
Should a* gang tapsalteerie ;
Should bogles meet me in the way,
This night I'll see my dearie.
I'll ben the spence and dress a-wee,
Wi' knots and buglits fu' gaudy,
For I canna rest until I see
Gin she'll come in my plaidie.

THE LIFE

ASTONISHING ADVENTURES

��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

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.

T h e poor
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
others were cutting, piercing, and tearing
the
flesh from their breasts, hands, arms, and legs,
with red-hot irons, till they were dead.
The
third unhappy victim was reserved a few hours
longer, to be, if possible, sacrificed in a more
�21
cruel manner—his
arms were tied close to his
body, and a hole being dug deep enough for him
to stand upright, he was put therein, and earth
rammed and beat in all round his body, up to the
neck, so that his head only appeared above the
g r o u n d ; they then scalped him, and there let
him remain for three or four hours in the greatest
agonies; after which they made a small fire
near his head, causing him to suffer the most
excruciating torments imaginable, whilst the poor
creature could only cry for mercy in killing him
immediately,

boiling in his
Inexorable to all his plaints, they continued
the fire, whilst, shocking to behold, his eyes
gushed out of their sockets; and such agonizing
torments did the unhappy creature suffer for near
two hours till he was quite dead!
T h e y then
cut off his head and buried it with the other
bodies—my task being to dig the graves, which,
feeble and terrified as I was, the dread of suffering
the same fate, enabled me to do.
I shall
not here take up the reader's time, in vainly
attempting to describe what I felt on such an
occasion, but continue my narrative, as more equal
to my abilities.

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.

A summary of the resource.
The chapbook contains two humorous songs in Scots. The first describes the adventures of a group of friends attending a fair in Glasgow, including quite a bit of drinking, eating, dancing, flirting, fighting, and other tom-foolery, including the comical misidentification of some livestock. In the second song, Auld John Paul, an elderly but sprightly widower, woos an alewife. After some sweet talk and fighting off some of his would-be rivals for the widow’s hand, the two are married at a well-attended wedding

HARRY BLUFF.
A
When a boy, Harry Bluff left his friends and his
home,
And his dear native land, on the ocean to roam ;
Like a sapling he sprung, he was fair to the view,
And was true British oak, boys, when older he grew,
Though his body was weak, and his hands they were
soft,
When the signal was heard, he the first went aloft;
And the veterans all cried, he'll one day lead the van,
For though rated a boy, he'd the soul of a man,
And the heart of a true British sailor.
When in manhood promoted, and burning for fame,
Still in peace and in war Harry Bluff was the same ;
So true to his love, and in battle so brave,
The myrtle and laurel entwine o'er his grave.
For his country he fell, when by victory crown'd,
The flag shot away, fell in tatters around ;
The foe thought he'd struck-—but he sung, avast!
And the colours of England he nail'd to the mast,
Then he died like a true British saiktf.

LOGIE 0 ' BUCHAN.
0 Logie o' Buchan, 0 L-ogie the laird,

Wha play'd on the pipe wi' the viol sae sma',
They hae taen awa Jamie, the flower o' them a'.

CHORUS.
He said, think na lang lassie, though I gang awa,
He said, think na lang lassie, though I gang awa ;
For the simmer is coming, cauld winter's awa,
And I'll come and see thee in spite o' them a'.
0 Sandy has owsen, and siller, and kye,
A house and a hadden, and a' things forbye ;
But I wad hae Jamie wi' his staff in his hand,
Before I'd hae Sandv wi' houses and lands.
He said, think na lang, &c.
My daddie looks sulky, my minnie looks spur,
They frown upon Jamie because he is poor ;
But daddie and minnie, although that they be,
There's nane o' them like my Jamie to me
1 sit on my creepie, and spin at my wheel,
And think on the laddie that loed me sae weel;
He had but ae sixpence, he brake it in twa,
And he gied me the hauf o't when he gaed awa.
Then haste ye baqk, Jamie, and bide na awa,
Then haste ye back, Jamie, and bide na awa ;
The simmer is coming, cauld winter's awa,
And ye'11 come and see me, in spite o' them a'.

TELL ME W H Y MEN W I L L DECEIVE US.
Come tell me, says Julia, and tell me sincerely,
Why men are so prone to deceive us ;
0, cruel to make us believe they love dearly,
And then can perfidiously leave us.
<m
Fair censor, I answered, though such there may be,
Yet judge not all so unkindly ;
The heart that beats loyal, as mine does to thee,
Can never turn rebel so blindly.
I grant so, she answered, and yield to it fairly,
Some few may be free from the treason,
But then to our sorrow, we find it so rarely,
To doubt and mistrust ye, we've reason.
Not quite so, I told her, the love that is sincere
Can but with existence be parted,
Like the fond turtle-dove, 'twill be true to its dear,
And never, no, never false-hearted.
She smil'd, and yet blush'd like a rose in full bearing,
And seem'd from her doubts to awaken ;
Then own'd, freely own'd, like an angel declaring,
She might, to be sure, be mistaken.
0 yes, and so sweetly her eyes made it known,
Not a glance but a god might set store by,
And fate from that moment enchain'd me ere now,
And her lip was the altar I swore by.

'TWAS WITHIN A MILE OF EDINBURGH
TOWN.
'Twas within a mile of Edinburgh town.
In the rosy time of the year,
Sweet flowers bloom'd, and the grass was down,
And each shepherd woo'd his dear.
Bonnie Jockie, blithe and gay,
Kiss'd sweet Jenny making hay ;
The lassie blush'd, and frowning cried,
Na, na, it winna do ;
I canna, canna, winna, winna, maunna buckle to
Jcfckie was a wag who never would wed,
Though lang he had followed the lass;
Contented she earn'd and ate her brown bread,
And merrily turn'd up the grass.
Bonnie Jockie, blithe and free,
Won her heart right merrily ;
Yet still she blush'd, and frowning cried,
Na, na, it winna do,
I canna, canna, winna, winna, maunna buckle to.
But when he vow'd he would make her his bride,
Though his flocks and his herds were not few,
She gied him her hand, and a kiss beside,
And yow'd she'd for ever be true.
Bonnie Jockie, blithe and free,
Won her heart right merrily ;
At kirk she nae mair frowning cried,
Na, na, it winna do;
I canna, canna, winna, winna, maunna buckle to.
�OH NO, WE NEVER MENTION .HER.
Oh no, we never mention her,
Her name is never heard,
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word.
From sport to sport they liurry me,
To banish my regret;
And when they win a smile from me,
They think that I forget.
They bid me seek in change of scene,
The charms that others see,
But were I in a foreign land,
They'd find no change in me.
'Tis true that I behold no more
The valley where we met,
I do not see the hawthorn tree,
But how can I forget ?
For oh! there are so many things
Recal the past to me ;
The breeze upon the sunny hills,
The billows of the sea ;
The rosy tint that decks the sky,
Before the sun is set;
Aye, every leaf I look upon
Forbids me to forget.
They tell me she is happy now,
The gayest of the gay ;
They hint that she forgets me now,
But heed not what they saj.
�7
Like me, perhaps, she struggles
With each feeling of regret;
But if she loves as I have loved,
She never can forget.
OH, SAY NOT WOMAN'S LOVE IS BOUGHT
-Oh say not woman's love is bought
With vain and empty treasure ;
Oh say not woman's heart is caught
By every idle pleasure.
When first her gentle bosom knows
Love's flame, it wanders never ;
Deep in her heart the passion glows,
She loves, and loves for ever.

Oh say not woman's false as fair,,
That like the bee she ranges,
Still seeking flowers more sweet arid rare,
As fickle fancy changes, .p.v

* i + r;

Ah no! the love that first can warm,
Will leave her bosom never ;
No second passion e'er can charm.
She loves, and loves for ever.

DEAREST MAID, MY HEART IS THINE.
Dearest maid, my heart is thine,
For ever fond and true ;
Dearest youth, believe that mine
As truly beats for you.

Then, bound in Hymen's rosy chain,
Our hearts shall constant prove,
For joys serene, and free from pain,
Will ever crown our love.

MEET ME IN THE MOONLIGHT.
Meet me in the moonlight,
Meet me in the dell;
If the stars behold us,
Will they ever tell ?
Tho' the moon be bright, love,
Never heed the skies ;
Need we gaze at heaven ?
Are there not your eyes ?
Let the gentle breezes
Whisper as they fly,
Until they cannot echo
All that me may sigh.
Who shall ever listen
Who shall ever tell
We were in the moonlight,
Kissing in the dell ?
