Notes on matter in the ballad
St. 46: the ballad of Arthur-a-Bradley.] Richard Braithwaite alludes to this ballad in "To the Cottoneers" in his Strappado for the Devil:
So Time shall crowne you with an happy end,
And consummate the wishes of a friend.
So each (through peace of conscience) rapt with pleasure
Shall ioifully begin to dance his meafure.
"One footing actiuely VVilsons delight,
"Descanting on this note, I haue done what's right,
"Another ioying to be nam'd 'mongst them,
"Were made Men-fishers ofpoore fisher-men.
"The third as blith as any tongue can tell,
"Becaufe he's found a faithfull Samuel.
"The fowrth is chanting of his Notes as gladly,
"Keeping the tune for th'honour of Arthura [sic] Bradly.
The 5. so pranke, he scarce can stand on ground,
Asking who'le sing with him Mal Dixons round?[1]
