The G rl I left behind me,

and pVr the moors that tire mcj
What heavy thoughts my heart doth fill.

In fearch of fome one fine and gay,

Of the blefl hours I pafs’d away,
with the girl I left behind me.
The hours 1 dp remember well.

A pain within my breait I feel,
fince firft fire own’d to love me ;
But now I am gone to Brighton camp,

Her golden hair in ringlets fair,

But let the night be e’er fo dark,
or e’er fo wet or windy,

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. |
