Abstract

A collection of ballads and songs on a variety of topics. The title song is a celebration of the cessation of conflict between France and England during the brief peace of 1801-1803. Published in 1802, this song was printed after the signing of the Treaty Amiens and before the return of hostilities in 1803; consequently, it is overwhelmingly positive in its message, rejoicing in the return of the sailors and soldiers and the end of violence between the two nations. The second song is a fairly explicit song about cold weather, cuddling, and the sexual escapades it might or might not lead to as a young man tries to convince his sweetheart to lie with him. Following this is a song about a cobbler’s wife who gets drunk on brandy and is harried through the streets by her husband, and a short song praising the beauty of Nanny of the hill. The final song is an admonitory tale, directed at a young woman named Maria, which cautions her against listening to young men who try and persuade young women to lie with them before marriage, which would result in her being cast out on the street to end up in a Bagnio, or brothel.
