THE BRITISH MINSTREL; AND
" merry England," when the fathers of English
music were thrilling the ears of gay courtiers,
mumming masquers, mad roysterers, and bully
rooks, with their mighty harpings.
No. 27. — Lowland Willie is evidently of modern
date. We found this air on an odd leaf of a tattered
and soiled music book, which supplied no hint of
its author. As the tune is good we hastened to
place it among our old and scarce melodies, lest it
should escape from our sight and memory. Per-
haps some of our correspondents are able to furnish
us with the particulars of its history.
MY LOVE SHE'S BUT A LASSIE YET.
Vivace.
