i Robin Adair.
What’s this dull town to me ?
Robin’s not near:
What was’t l wish'd to see ?
, . W hat wish’d too hear;
Where’s all thejoV and mirth,
Made this town a heaven on earth .
h ! they are all fled with thee,
Robin Adair.
What made the assembly shine ?
Robin Adair.
What made the ball so fine?
Robin was there.
What, when the play was o’er.
What made my heart so sore ?
Oh ! it was parting with
Robin Adair.
But now thou'rt cold to me,
Robin Adair.
But now thou’rt cold to me,
Robin Adair.
Yet him I lov’d so well,
Still in my heart shall dwell;,

| Description | Over 3,000 chapbooks published in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries. Subjects include courtship, humour, occupations, fairs, apparitions, war, politics, crime, executions, Jacobites, transvestites, and freemasonry. Chapbooks are small booklets of 8, 12, 16 and 24 pages, often illustrated with crude woodcuts. Produced cheaply and sold by peddlars on the streets, they formed the staple reading material of the common people, along with broadsides. |
