Jawing—Dashing.
ROSE THE RED AND WHITE LILLY.
NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED.
This legendary Tale is given chiefly from Mrs. BROWN'S MS. Accordingly, many of the rhymes arise from the Northern mode of pronunciation; as dee for do, and the like.—Perhaps the Ballad may have originally related to the history of the celebrated ROBIN HOOD; as mention is made of Barnisdale, his favourite abode.
O Rose the Red, and White Lilly,
Their mother deir was dead:
And their father has married an ill woman,
Wished them twa little guid.
