Notes:
  • Cover title.
  • Songs without music.
  • First sentence of Molly O'Rigge: "At Cork lived Miss Molly O'Rigge, With a nose like the snout of a pig, Long carroty locks, And ten pounds in the stocks, Was the fortune of Molly O'Rigge, What a beautiful Molly O'Rigge."
  • First sentence of Sit ye awhile and tipple a bit: "We're gaily yet, and we're gaily yet, And we're no yery fou but we're gaily yet, Then sit ye awhile and tipple a bit, For we're no very fou but we're gaily yet."
  • First sentence of The delights of wine: "Let's be merry with jest and song, Time as he swiftly flies, my boys, Will not a second our bliss prolong, But with his scythe mow down our joys; Then seize him by the forelock, Mirth, Pleasure drown him in the bowl-- We'll toast each laughter-loving soul."
  • First sentence of Caledonia! Native land!: "Native land!"
  • First sentence of The warrior bard: "The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone, in the ranks of death you'll find him, His father's sword he has girded on, And his wild harp slung behind him."
  • First sentence of Beadle of the parish: "I'm a very knowing prig, With my laced coat and wig, Though they say I am surly and bearish, Sure I look a might man, When I flourish my rattan, To fright the little boys, Who in church-time make a noise, Because I'm beadle of the parish."
  • Includes 2 woodcuts.
