THE FARMER
Come each jolly fellow that loves to be mellow,
Attend u to me »nd sit easy ;
One jorum ifl my boys we will try it,
Dull thiuking will make a man crazy ;
For here I am king, let us drink, laugh and sing,
Let no man appear as a stranger ;
But show me the art that refuses his glass,
And I'll order him hay ia a manger.
By plowing and sowing, by reaping and mowing.
Dame nature supplies uswith plenty ;
I’ve a cellar well stor'd and a plentiful board,
And my garden affords every dainty
I have all things in season, both woodcock and
pheasant.'
T am here as justice of Quorum j
In my cabin's far end I've a bed for afrien-d,
With a clean fire side and a jorum.
Were it not for my seeding, you’d get but poor
feeding
Yon would surely be all starv’d withe ut me;

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. |
