 ( 4 ) No woman shall e’er me controul,

for I will both borrow and lend;

I’ll live single until I grow old,

and my galloping never shall end.

So lads be aware how you marry,

I'd have you take pattern by me;

I think it far better to tarry,

and always live happy and free:

If you have a shilling to spare,

or yet half-a-crown for to lend,

There’s no one to stop your career,

for your galloping never shall end.

BANKS OF THE DEVON.

How pleasant the banks of the clear winding

Devon,

With green spreading bushes, and flow’rs

blooming fair!

But the bonniest flow'r on the banks of the

Devon,

Was once a sweet bude on the braes of the

Air,
