'Price one penny'.
'This very fine song is now, at the urgent request of many of the Poet's friends, added to his unequalled collection. Its suggestive language is grand - nay, even sublime - and the amount of poetic talent and high genius brought to bear on the subject, is undoubtedly of the highest rank. It can only be had in the Poet's Box, 6 St. Andrew's Lane'.
'Air. - Something or nothing'.
First lines read: Come sit thee down, my bonny bonny love, / Come sit thee down by me, love, / And I will tell thee many a tale of the dangers of the sea. / Of the perils of the deep, love.
Dated at the foot of the sheet - 'Saturday, January 27th, 1855'.
