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 little priest of Felton 189
There lives a lass in Felton town 190
The lady sat in leafy bow’r 202
The day was quite pleasant, the Fourteenth of May 212
To fertile soil and fragrant air 220
The king has written a broad letter 225
The first of March, from Cockle Park 231
The ploughman he comes home at night 237
There was five wives at Acomb 256
’Twas on a summer’s evening 275
Thro’ Durham County fam’d of old 287
They’ve prest my dear Johnny 301
The sailors are all at the bar 306
There is not in the world’s terraqueous round 310
’Tis said that in the good old times 319
The Antigallican’s safe arriv’d 320
U
Unsullied mirth attend this feast 219
Upon the stately river Tees 265
Up the raw, ma bonny hinny 297
Up the Butcher bank 299
W

Where hast’te been, ma’ canny hinny 9
When unprovok’d, when foreign foes 15
When Fame brought the news of Great Britain’s success 21
Whilst the dread voice of war thro’ the welkin rebellows 33
Whilst the dread voice of war thro’ our island rebellows 34
When war’s destructive rage did cease 53
When cooling zephyrs wanton play 59
Whilst bards, in strains that sweetly flow 60
Who’s he that with great Mercury strides 68
We march’d from the camps with our hearts full of woe 85
What pleasure oft ’tis to reveal 88
When Royal Ge--e on new year’s day 94
When we were silly sisters seven, sisters we were so fair 147
Wold you please to hear of a sang of dule 166
When Britannia her sons calls to aid her in arms 290
While visiting this dark abode 292
We’ll all away to the Lowlights 306
Whence those _cries_, my soul that harrow 312
Y
Ye sons of Parnassus, whose brains are inspir’d 67
Yt fell abowght the Lamasse tyde 107
