Then weather the storm, A.nd suive for R e f o r m ; Onward, united, our cause it is glorious; T h e king is our friend,— Till death we'll defend Our freedom and rights—long may he reign o'er us. U p with the banner that tells we are free, Down with the tyrant that dares to enslave us; Plant round our island sweet liberty's tree,— No nation for freedom shall ever out-brave us» We tell to the world, Our banner's unfurl'd, The banner of freedom, the true Briton's glory. Come, Britons, combine, Our rights are divine;; Fame will proclaim all our doings in story, �3 Come, patriots, come united and sing, Long life to the pillars and shields of our nation; God save our country, and God save our king. The bulwark and friend of this great reformation. We've told our condition By pray'r and petition, The learn'd and the wise now strive to defend us ; W e hate all oppression, And make our confession, As Britons and freemen no tyrant shall bind us. THE ARETHUSA. all you jolly sailors bold, Whose hearts are cast in honour s mould, While English glory I unfold % Huzza to the A re thus a I She is a frigate tight and brave, As ever stemmed the dashing wave ; Her men are staunch T o their favourite launch, And when the foe shall meet our fire, Sooner than strike we'll all expire, On board of the Arethusa COME 'Twas with the Spring-fleet she went out T h e English Channel to cruize about, When four French sail, in show so stou?f Bore down on the Arethusa. �4 T h e fam'd Belle Poole straight a-heatl did He, T h e Arethusa seem'd to fly, N o t a sheet or a tack, G r a brace did she slack; 1 hough the Frenchmen laugh'd, and thought it stuff, But they knew not a handful of men how tough O n board of the Arethusa. O n deck five hundred men did dance, T h e stoutest they could find in France: W e , with two hundred did advance, O n board of the Arethusa, O u r captain hailM the Frenchmen, ho ! T h e Frenchmen they cried out, hallo! Bear down, d'ye see, T o our Admiral's lee. No ? no, says the Frenchmen, that can't be,— T h e n I must lug you along with me, Says the saucy Arethusa. T h e fight was off the Frenchmen's land, W e forc'd t h e m back upon their strand, For we fought tiii not a stick would s t a M Of the gallant Arethusa. And now we've driven the foe ashore* Never to fight with Britons more,— Let each fill a glass T o his favourite lass ! A health to our captain, and officers true, And all that belong to the jovial crew Of the gallant Arethusa, �5 T H E 3ASHFU' WOOER. ye come to woo me, Tarn, Dinna at the window tap, Or cough, or hem, or gi'e a clap, T o 1st my father hear man ; He's auld, and fail'd, and wants his sleep, Sae by the hallan saftly creep, Y e need nae watch* and glowr, and peep, I'll meet ye, never fear man.

Whene'er we at the market meet, Dinna look like ane hauf daft, O r talk about the cauild and heat, As ye were weather-wise, m a n ; Haud up your head, and bauldly speak, And keep the blushes frae your cheek, For he wha hap, his tale to seek, W e lasses a' despise man. If a lassie, &e. I met ye lately, a* your lane, Ye seemed like ane stown frae the dead.

'TWAS MERRY W THE HALL. Now ancient English melody Is banish'd out of doors, And nought is heard of in our day But signoras and signors. Such airs I hate Like a pig in a gate; �7 Give me the good old strain, When 'twas merry in the hall, And the beards wagg'd all: We shall ne'er see the like again, W e shall ne'er see the like again. On beds of down our dandies lie, And waste the cheerful morn ; W h i l e our squires of old would rouse the day f o the sound of the bugle horn* And their wives took care T o provide good cheer ! For when they left the plain, Oh, 'twas merry in the hall, And the beards wagg'd all! W e shall ne'er see the like again, 'Twas then the Christmas tale was told Of goblin, ghost, or fairy , And they cheer'd the hearts of their tenants old, With a cup of good canary; And they each took a smack At the cold black Jack, Till the fire burnt in their brain. O h , 'twas merry in the hall, And the beards wagg'd all i May we all see the like again. H E A R T S O F OAK. COME, cheer up my lads, 'tis to glory we steer, T o add something more to this wonderful year j �8 T o honour we call you, not press you like slaves, For who are so free as W2 sons of the waves. Hearts of oak are our ships, Jolly tars are our m e n ; W e always are ready, Steady* boys, steady* W e ' l l fight and we'll conquer again and again. W e ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay, They never see us but they wish us away ; If they run f why we follow, and run them ashore, For if they wont fight us, what can we do more. Hearts of oak, &c. They swear they'll invade us, these terrible foes ! They frighten our women, our children & beaux ; But should their flat bottoms in darkness get o'er, Still Britons they'll find to receive them on shore. Hearts of oak, &c, We'll still make 'em run ? and we'll still make 'era sweat, < l a spite of the devil and Brussels G a z e t t e ; Then cheer up my lads, with one heart let us sing, Our soldiers, our sailors, our statestnen and king* Hearts of oak, &c.

Bon-Accord Rhymes and Ballads. A BRIG TO TORRY. Aberdeen: GEORGE MIDDLETON, SKENE SQUARE. 1876. ��A B R I G T O T O R R Y . This sad disaster by the boat Has raised the question often fought: The cry is up, and so it ought— We'll hae a Brig to Torry ! And but for party-faction plots, That cast on man's deeds many blots, We'd pass'd by brig, and no by boats, Langsyne across to Torry, Now, party faction cease for once, Nor let us lose the present chance, The money all at once advance, And build the Brig to Torry. Think not of plotting, selfish men, Whose sordid wish is all for gain ; Whose only care is but their ain. And no a Brig to Torry. A Company has offer made— Four thousand pounds this scheme to aid ; Some say that they would well be paid By this new Brig to Torry. �4 And little doubt they've reckon'd weel, To by this bargain hae a " feel "; Fairplay even to the very de'il, And to the Lairds o' Torry. If they have spirit thus to stir, And push their schemes ahead wi' virr, And round the city make it whir— Come, gae's a Brig to Torry ! We'r a' affected by this shock, We feel it keen, nor at it mock, And say, " Come, let us all now yoke And build a Brig to Torry." To Balnagask we look for aid; On a' the lairds we'll make a raid Whose tenants o'er this brig will trade Between our town and Torry. But if they do not come like men, To help according to their gain, We'll treat them aye wi' great disdain, A t Aberdeen and Torry. The Baker Lairds had well take heed, Kincorth we know is their's by deed, The thousands here who eat their bread, Say, " mind our Brig to Torry," �5 And who is great, so far's we ken, But generous-hearted, honest men, To all good things who say, " Amen," And great success to Torry. And what is wealth to laird or king, If man's respect it does not bring, So freely give, and that's the thing To bring respect at Torry. But greedy, grasping, selfish sots, Who keep their pennies, pounds, and groats, They're little better than the stots— Just drown them a' at Torry. When river Dee they did divert, To build the brig they had nae heart, But for that blunder now we'll smart— A dearer Brig to Torry. Had then the piers erected been, Much cheaper had the work been deen. Before the river e'er was seen, In its new course at Torry. But wha's to blame, I winna say't, Just build the brig and frankly pay't, Nor raise again our party hate, To damn the Brig to Torry. �And Torry Farm I'll only name, To state the case would raise a flame That Dee itself could never tame, 'Twould blaze the Brig to Torry. So let us quench each party word, True to the name of Bon-Accord, To quarrel now we can't afford, We want a Brig to Torry. Our present Council offers well, And what's their duty seem to feel, Four thousand pounds they out will deal, To build a Brig to Torry. Twelve thousand pounds the brig will cost, Just raise the sum, nor time be lost, The Council then must do their most To build the Brig to Torry, This brig, a handsome brig maun be. Not to disgrace our bonnie Dee, A something to let strangers see, When gaun across to Torry. When Jamieson, our worthy Pro', Was Dean of Guild, some years ago, The Progress Party, then the go, Tormented him 'bout Torry. �7 No more he is the worthy Dean, But Provost now of Aberdeen ; He'll show them progress wi' a steen, And build the Brig to Tony. And when this Brig at last we get, And that must be no distant date. Then we will fear no tide nor spate When gaun across to T o n y . But, Provost man, that is not all The projects you have at your call, So keep your foot now at the ball, But still remember Tony. The Carriage Drive from Market Street To Bridge of Dee you must complete; Push 0n, and let us shortly see't And a bonny Brig to Tony. Next Rosemount district keep in view, It wants accesses one or two ; 'T would be a boon to not a few, As well's a Brig to Tony. But Provost, Sir, I would not dare, To name what all your projects were, But, pardon me, I have a care About a Brig to Tony. �8 Now Torry men just cock your cap, We'll yet bridge o'er the watery gap, Then back and fore we'll safely stap Between our town and Torry. Nae mair on pleasure days we'll see, And mourn our friends drown'd in the Dee, Such sad disaster cannot be When we've a Brig to Torry. Our lads and lasses then might gang Wi' safety out the rocks amang, To gather dulse, or sing a sang, On beach or braes at Torry. Oh ! had this brig but biggit been, This last disaster none had seen, A sair, sair heart to mony ane— They'll aye remember Torry. But what is past we canna mend, Yet a sad lesson it does send, To present duty let's attend, And build the Brig to Torry. Then strike the iron while 'tis hot, Delays are dangerous, trust them not, Or all our plans will come to naught, As well's a Brig to Torry. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/8354c02678fc22eb79ea6c22657d23da.jpg d09d1704883339eddae03a9d78308c5b Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

This song is a political action piece written to urge the population and politicians of Aberdeen to build a bridge to the district of Torry within the city following a ferry disaster which killed 32 people. Ferries and boats had previously been the only way to access the district after the diversion of the river Dee had cut it off, and, according to the song, dithering between different political parties over the cost of the project had prevented a bridge from being built previously. The ballad names several different districts, politicians, and groups with an interest in building the bridge in an effort to raise the funds for a new bridge to prevent future disasters.

PRINTED FOR T H E BOOKSELLERS. �DUKE OF GORDON'S D A U G H T E R S . The Duke of Gordon had three daughters, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Jean ; They would not stay in bonny Castle Gordon, But they went away to bonny Aberdeen. They had not been in bonny Aberdeen, A twelvemonth and a day, Till Jean fell in love with Captain Ogilvie, And away with him went she. Word came to the Duke of Gordon, In the chamber where he lay, How lady Jean fell in love with a Captain, And from him she would not stay. Go saddle me the black horse, he cried, My servant shall ride on the grey, And I'll go to bonny Aberdeen, Forthwith to bring her away. They were not a mile from bonny Aberdeen, A mile but only one, Till he met with his two daughters, But away was lady Jean. O where is your sister, maidens ? Where is your sister, now; O where is your sister, maidens, That she's not walking with you ? �3 O pardon us honoured father! O pardon they did say: Lady Jean is with Captain Ogilvie, And from him she will not stay. When he came to bonny Aberdeen, And down upon the green, There he did see Captain Oglivie, A training of his men, O woe be to thee Captain Ogilvie! An ill death shalt thou die, For taking to thee my daughter, High hanged thou shalt be. The Duke of Gordon wrote a broad letter And sent to the king, To cause him hang brave Captain Ogilvie, If ere he caused hang any man. No I will not hang Captain Ogilvie, For any offence that I see, But I'll cause him to put off the scarlet And put on the single livery. Now word came to Captain Ogilvie, In the chamber where he lay, To strip off the gold and scarlet, And put on the single livery If this be for bonny Jeannie Gordon, This penance I'll take wi', If this be for bonny Jeannie Gordon, All this and more I'll dree. �4 Lady Jean had not been married, A year but only three, Till she had a babe in every arm, And another on her knee. O but I'm weary wandering! O but my fortune is bad, It sets not the Duke of Gordon's daughter, To follow a soldier lad. O hold your tongue, bonny Jean Gordon, O hold your tongue my lamb, For once I was a noble captain, Now for thy sake a single man. O high was the hills and the mountains, Gold was the frost and snow; Lady Jean's shoes were all torn, No farther could she go. O if I was in the glens of Foudlen, Where hunting I have been, I could go to bonny castle Gordon, Without either stockings or sheen O hold your tongue bonny Jean Gordon, O hold your tongue my dow; I've but one half-crown in the world, I'll buy hose and shoon to you. When she came to bonny Castle Gordon, And coming over the green, The Porter cried out, with a loud voice, Yonder comes our lady Jean. �5 You are welcome bonny Jeanie Gordon, You are dearly welcome to me ; You are welcome dear Jeanie Gordon, But away with your Ogilvie. Now over the seas went the Captain, As a soldier under command ; But a messenger soon followed after, Which caused a countermand. Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie, To enjoy your brother's land ; Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie, You're the heir of Northumberland. O what does this mean ? says the Captain Where is my brother's land ? Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie, You're the heir of Northumberland. O what does this mean ? says the Captain, Where's my brother's children three? O they are all dead and buried, The lands are all ready for thee. Then hoist up your sails brave Captain, And let's be jovial and free; I'll go home and have my estate, And then my dear Jeanie I'll see. He soon came to bonny castle Gordon, And then at the gate stood he; The Porter cried out with a loud shout, Here comes Captain Ogilvie ! �6 You're welcome pretty Captain Ogilvie Your fortunes advanced I hear, No stranger can come, to my gates That I do love so dear. Sir, the last time I was at your gate You would not let me in . I am come for my wife and children, No friendship else I claim. Then she came tripping down the stair, With the saut tear in her e'e, One babe she had at every foot, Another upon her knee You're welcome, bonny Jean Gordon. Your're dearly welcome to me, You're welcome bonny Jean Gordon, Countess of Northumberland to be. Now the Captain came off with his lady, And his sweet babies three, Saying, I'm as good blood by descent, Though the great Duke of Gordon you be. JEM OF ABERDEEN. The tuneful laverocks cheer the grove. And sweetly smiles the summer green Now o'er the mead I love to rove Wi' bonny Jem of Aberdeen. ; �7 Whene'er we sit beneath the broom, Or wander o'er the flowery lea, He's always wooing, wooing, wooing, O Jamie's always wooing me. He's fresh and fair as flowers in May, The blythest lad on a' the green; How sweet the time will pass away W i ' bonny Jem of Aberdeen! Wi' joy I leave my father's cot, Wi' ilka sport of glen or green, Well pleased to share the humble lot Of bonny Jem of Aberdeen. THE BONNY HOUSE O' A I R L Y , It fell upon a day, a bonny summer day, When the clans were a' wi' Charlie, That there fell out a great dispute Between Argyle and Airly. Argyle has called a hundred o' his men, To come in the morning early, [keld, And they hae gane down by the back o' DunTo plunder the bonny house o' Airly. Lady Ogilvie looked frae her window, sae hie, And O but she grat sairly, To see Argyle and a his men Come to plunder the bonny house o' Airly. �8 Come doon, come doon, lady Ogilvie, he cried, Come doon and kiss me fairly, Or ere the morning's clear daylight I'll no leave a standing stane in Airly. I wadna come doon, great Argyle, she cried, I wadna kiss thee fairly: I wadna come doon, false Argyle, she cried, Though you shouldna leave a standing stane in Airly. But were my ain guid lord at hame, As he is noo wi' Charlie, The base Argyle and a' his men Durstna enter the bonny house o' Airly O I hae seven bonny sous, she said, And the youngest has ne'er seen his daddie, And though I had ane as mony mae, They'd a' be followers o' Charlie, Then Argyle and his men attacked the bonny ha, And O, but they plundered it fairly ; In spite o' the tears the lady let fa', They burnt doon the bonny house o' Airly. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/f6fee954607f0a66150f416398ca03cd.jpg 064ca1028cdaa338290a6d9f1f72a981 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

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