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
On July seventh, the suthe to say 143
On Saturday 196
O bonny Hobby Elliott 221
On Bamboroughshire’s rocky shore 161
Old Janus advances all cloathed in white 171
Of all the Kirkharle bonny lasses 180
Oh, have you seen the blushing rose 211
Of a Pitman we’ll sing 242
On travelling down Tweed-side 251
On the banks of the Tees, at Stockton of old 262
Old _Jarrow_, long fam’d for monastical lore 304
Of Temple and King, my friends, let us sing 321
O lovely Tyne, thy beauty’s seen 322
R
Roll on thy way, thrice happy Tyne 11
Rough roll’d the roaring river’s stream 56
Rookhope stands in a pleasant place 276
S
Should the French in Newcastle but dare to appear 62
Sir James Duncan and Co. their kind compliments send 97
Sir Swinton was a doughty knight 152
Sweet thro’ the forest, Coquet flows 237
Since Winter’s keen blast must to Zephyr give place 243
Saw ye owt o’ ma’ lad 300
Six centeries since, some say, a son of South Seaton 307
T
’Twas between Hebbron and Jarrow 8
Turks, Infidels, Pagans, Jews, Christians and Tartars 19
The jailor, for trial, had brought up a thief 23
The bonny pit laddie, the cannie pit laddie 36
The Baff week is o’er--no repining-- 38
To sing some nymph in her cot 58
Talk no more of brave Nelson, or gallant Sir Sidney 68
The young brood fairly fledg’d, we may fairly suppose 77
Tho’ lofty bards sublimer sing 91
The plaint of a mourner, deep sorrow oppres’d with 103
The Perssye came byfore hys oste 111
The Persé owt off Northomberlonde 118
The Yngglyshe men hade ther bowys yebent 122
’Twas he that rul’d his Country’s heart 142
There’s Roadley’s ‘cloud capt’ lofty hill 150
The king is gone from Bambrough Castle 156
The kye are come hame 161
The routing the earl of Mar’s forces 175
