10. To Althea from Prison. By Col. Lovelace 11. The Downfall of Charing-Cross 10. Phillida and Corydon. By Nich. Breton 11. Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard 12. The Ew-bughts Marion. A Scottish Song. 13. The Knight and Shepherd's Daughter. An ordinary SONG or BALLAD, that is the delight of the common people, cannot fail to please all such readers as are not unqualified for the entertainment by their affectation or their ignorance; and the reason is plain, because the same paintings of Nature which recommend it to the most ordinary reader, will appear beautiful to the most refined. ADDISON, in SPECTATOR, No. 70. |
