Never a foot back man would flee.
And such a storm amongst them fell,
As I think you never heard the like;
For he that bears his head so high,
He oft-times falls into the dyke.
And now I do entreat you all,
As many as are present here,
To pray for singer of this song,
For he sings to make blithe your cheer.
[76] The name of a valley in the north part of the parish of Stanhope, in Weardale.
