rif. AQ31852London: J. Pitts s.d. c. 1820-44 Single leaf broadside edges uncut. Printed in four columns. With three woodcut vignettes. Old central vertical fold. A trifle creased and marked. A rare survival of a broadside ballad in which the captain of a ship bound for India discovers on board the young servant girl whom he had pledged to wed but then abandoned. He finds that she is carrying his child and though at first angered by her 'betrayal' agrees to marry. However 'fortune to them proves unkind' and a storm descends upon them sweeping the maiden into the sea. When the captain finds her body 'floating on the main' two days later he casts himself overboard to 'share the same fate'. The publishing house of John Pitts 1765-1844 was responsible for a prodigious output of cheap popular printing in the first half of the nineteenth-century. COPAC records copies at just two locations BL and Hull; OCLC adds two further Adelaide and Toronto. . Dimensions 360 x 250 mm. [J. Pitts], [s.d., c. 1820-44] unknown
rif. 15906Early eighteenth century. Another later version published in the Gentleman's Magazine London May 1744. 2pp. on both sides of a strip of 35.5 x 11.5 cm laid paper with fleur-de-lys watermark. In a secretary hand employing the thorn and long s. In fair condition on aged and worn paper. An untitled forty-line poem divided into five numbered eight-line stanzas. The narrator is an older married woman advising a younger woman not to marry with observations on the frailties of the male sex. The first stanza reads: 'Ere ye. read ys. ye. may suppose. That some new listed Lover. By means of Poetry has chose. His Passion to discover. Know Faire one I am a Matron Grave Which Time & Care has wasted And would thy Youth from sorrow save Which I have in Wedlock tasted.' A variation of the poem was published in the Gentleman's Magazine May 1744 with the title 'The MATRON's Advice to a YOUNG LADY A new BALLAD. Tune Sally.' The grammar of the Gentleman's Magazine version is more modern in tone its first line reading: 'Ere you read this you may suppose' and the variations are most apparent in the third stanza including 'Beset thy dwelling' in the published version for 'Surround thy Threshold' in the manuscript; 'heedless' for 'regardless'; 'Pass all your minutes' for 'Thy Moments pass on'; 'While flames are offer'd at our shrine And Men like Idols sue us' for 'Darts flames & hoards adorn Our shrine And Awful Hymen woo us.' The writer has begun to write another poem on the reverse of the slip: 'Come lesten sic ye tories & jacobites now Your Plot <.> shew'. Not present in the English Broadside Ballad Archive. Early eighteenth century. [Another (later?) version published in the Gentleman's Magazine, London, May 1744.] unknown

rif. 7461Publisher and date not stated. Circa 1840. Printed on one side of a piece of wove paper roughly 280 x 95 mm. Aged creased and spotted with chipping to extremities but with text and illustration clear and entire. Curious small roughly 40 x 65 mm crude illustration at head showing dove with olive branch and acorn. Forty-line poem arranged in five stanzas. Interestingly-garbled nineteenth-century folk song with ancient antecedents. First stanza reads 'There was a young squire in the north country we hear Was courting a nobleman's daughter so dear Now for to marry her it was his intent All friends and relations did give their consent. The time was appointed for the wedding-day The farmer was sorry to give her away; Instead of being married she went to her bed And the thoughts of the farmer still ran in her head.' The lady puts on 'A coat and blue trousers' and goes 'a-hunting with her dog and her gun'. She converses with the farmer who unaware of her true identity declares his love for her. She gives the farmer a glove full of gold goes home and declares that she has lost her glove and will marry the man who finds it. Last lines: 'I'll be the mistress of the dairy and milking of the cows While my jolly young farmer goes whistling at the plough.' Several copies of items with this title on COPAC but none exactly corresponding to this one and most with the first line reading 'A wealthy young squire of Tamworth we hear'. See Image.

The first stanza reads 'When I was young I was much beloved By all young men in the country; When I was blooming in all my blossom A false young lover deceived me.' Last stanza: 'Its time will soon put an end to all things And love will soon put an end to me And sure there is a place of torment To punish my lover for slight'ing me.' A touching poem of betrayed love: 'Its turn you round you wheel of fortune Its turn you round and smile on me For young men's words they're quite uncertain For sad experience teaches me.' Scarce. No copy on COPAC or in the British Library. Image on application. Date [circa 1840?] and publisher not stated. unknown
