I brought down my shillings to so many pence:

And sometime near midnight it fell to my share,

To see home Miss Bouncer, from Haltwhistle Fair.

I will grow very careful, and that you shall see,

To try if Miss Bouncer and me can agree;

Each shilling and sixpence I will hurd up with care,

In hopes for to spend them next Haltwhistle Fair.


ANNA OF THE TYNE.

A bonny swain, blithe Sandy nam’d,
