Abstract
A collection of several short songs on a variety of topics, including: a toast to the Highland militia; a plea to placate the anger and venomous speech of a married woman; the love a young woman bears for a particular young man who her parents do not approve of; a glee written for three voices about a young lover who is in mourning and requests a cypress wreath, in which a variety of different types of flowers and wreaths and their symbolism are described; a whimsical song in which the author wishes to be a butterfly, with a brief mention of fairies; a song acclaiming the constancy and honesty of women’s love, directly disputing the notion of women’s fickleness; a song about a young Highlander who goes and fights for his country and his religion for Bonnie Prince Charlie, sung by his love who he left behind; and the lament of a young Highland woman who is taken away from her home and forbidden to speak Gaelic, driving her to madness.
