ENGLISH SONG ANS' BALLAD MUSIC,
'' Ignoramus Justice ; or —
The English laws turn'd into a gin,
To let knaves out and keep honest men in :
to the tune of Sir Ugkdemore." London : printed for Allen Bancks, 1682.
" The Jacobite toss'd in a Blanket," &c. (Pepys Coll., ii. 292) ; beginning-
" I pray, Mr. Jacobite, tell me why, Fa la, &c..
You on our government look awry. Fa la, &c.
With paltry hat, and threadbare coat,
And jaws as thin as a Harry groat.
You've brought yourselves and your cause to nought.
Fa-la, fa-la-la-la. Fa-la, lanky down dilly."
In Rowland's Melancliolie Knight, the ballad is thus prefaced : —
" But tj>at I turn, and overturn again.
Old bo"6kB, wherein the worm-holes do remain ;
Containing acts of ancient knights and squires
That fought with dragons, spitting forth wild fires.
The history unto you shall appear.
Even by myself, verbatim, set down here."
Gracefully. Chorus.
