Abstract
Two ballad or poems about peddlars and their packs are included in this chapbook. The first describes the humorous conversation between a peddler and his pack, while the second tells the tale of a peddler who falls in love and wishes to marry, but when his love refuses to marry him right away, he heads out to the Highlands with his pack. Unfortunately, he loses the pack after a fall during a storm, and when his betrothed finds out, she soon marries another.
