Description
In verse.
Broadsheet, folded, possibly with the intention of cutting into two half-sheets.
"The attribution to James V of Scotland is almost certainly false; evidence for and against the authorship of James I of Scotland, now generally accepted, is summarized in David Irving's 'The history of Scotish poetry' (1861), p. 142-148"--NUC pre-1956 imprints.
The printing of the second piece resembles the second item on a similar folded sheet containing two separate items, "Saw ye my Peggy", which is dated January, 1726, and "A memorable song on the unhappy hunting of Chevy Chase... ".
"Christs kirk on the green" lacks the 8th stanza, but includes the last one, as in Allan Ramsay's 2- and 3-canto expansions of 1718.
The banishment of poverty is "a ballad describing the wanderings of an itinerant and the relief of his poverty by the Duke of Albany"--NUC pre-1956 imprints.
