Abstract
A collection of songs and ballads on a variety of themes, including: a call to young Scots men to join the militia and fight in defense of Queen and Scotland; a young man woos his love and is overjoyed to hear her acceptance of his proposal; the beauty of Judy Magrath is humorously compared to various food items as a description of her appeal to her lover; a love song asking a lover to meet following the seasons when the bloom is on the rye; a comparison of the various flowers and emblems of France, Ireland, Britain and Scotland, describing with nationalistic pride the virtues of the Scottish thistle and history; a sad lament for days and joys past, compared to the fading of leaves and in the face of winter; and an Irish rogue shows his affection by teasing, fighting, drinking, and kissing.
