Rhymes of Northern Bards: Being a Curious Collection of Old and New Songs and Poems, Peculiar to the Counties of Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, and Durham
The lady sat in leafy bow’r 202
Nought but some dæmon’s baleful step 206
Hoot awa’, lads hoot awa’ 209
Ihon Redle that som tim did be 210
Howl on ye winds, and beat ye rains 211
Oh, have you seen the blushing rose _ib._
The day was quite pleasant, the Fourteenth of May 212
A bonny swain blithe Sandy nam’d 214
In Britain’s blest insland there runs a fine river 215
Now the feather’d train in each bush 216
Apollo, your aid I request 217
Ye sacred nine descend 218
Unsullied mirth attend this feast 219
To fertile soil and fragrant air 220
O bonny Hobby Elliott 221
Little wat ye wha’s coming 222
Mackintosh was a soldier brave 223
The king has written a broad letter 225
How mournful feeble Nature’s tone _ib._
In former times where Hexham town doth stand 227
Britannia scarce had planted the olive on our isle 228
Doctor Moff once more employs the burden of my song 229
The first of March, from Cockle Park 231
Next day to the Thatchmeadows I 233
Good fortune still attends the brave 234
A fair reformation would render this nation 236
The ploughman he comes home at night 237
Sweet thro’ the forest, Coquet flows _ib._
At Christmas when the wind blew cauld 238
It happen’d at good Christmas tide 239
About the bush Willy 240
I cannot get to my love if I should dee 241
As I went to Newcastle _ib._
I went to Black Heddon 242
John Thompson, just now _ib._
Of a Pitman we’ll sing _ib._
Since Winter’s keen blast must to Zephyr give place 243
All lovers of lucre may LAUD the _Lord Mayor_ 245
Northumberland lads are handsome squads 247
A farmer near Felton, fam’d for vulgar fractions 248
All men of high and low degree 250
