Rhymes of Northern Bards / Being a Curious Collection of Old and New Songs and Poems, Peculiar to the Counties of Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, and Durham

by Unknown

And Capheaton without a whin;

Shafto Crag all turn’d to peat and moss,

And cannot bear a foot aboon.

“When old Sir Humphery rides to Rome,

And preaches in his best array:

When indigo dies red and brown,

Your honor shall be paid your hay.”

[64] The Piper’s Horse.

[65] The Roman Catholic Priest.
