The owls from the battlement cry,
hollow winds seem to murmur arousd,
O Mary! prepare thee to die,
my blood it runs cold at the sound.
The ORANGE And BLUE.
IT was on adMondsy morning,
as I was going to M.fss,
I had no mind of listing,
until they did mo press:
Bad company enticed me to
partake of a full flowing how],
And the advance money t hey gave ma,
was a guinea and a crown.
O! my dearest dear he is listed,
and ta’en a white cockade,
Ol he is a clever fellow,
besides he’s a roving blade.
Sure he is a clever fellow,
and is gone to serve the King; - ,) i
My very heart is a bleeding
all for the love of him.

| 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. |
