Summary

Dear meal (1816)

“ When the meal mongers open the meats of the sack
The rope thats about them themselves in't will swing

⁠For the Meal in ship loads is sent far away,
While our enemy is supported by land and by sea

Of such their pockets never be empty.

“ Crack a louse on Maggys wame,
⁠little Cocky Bendy
Theres three sheeps skins,
⁠the barber an his bason.
The bonny lass o Paties Mill;
⁠wi the free an accepted mason.
On Etterick banks ae summer night,
⁠the clifty rocks to view man
