A collection of ballads and songs on a variety of topics, including: the complaint of two old men against a tax on dogs, speaking also in defense on the usefulness of collie dogs; the courtship of a local beauty by young man who, upon being tested with rejection, vows to join the army until she consents to marry him; and the rantings of a young man to the girl he desires, describing her beauty and suggestively asking her for her petticoat as a covering.
