In one column.
A ballad in support of James Aytoun relating to the election for Lord Provost for Edinburgh in 1833, when James Spittal defeated James Aytoun.
'Tune - "Which nobody can deny".'
First lines read: Come join in my chorus, true Aytounites all, / And sing of our triumph and Spittal's down-fall, / For altho' to the Whigs it be wormwood and gall, / Yet the draper must certainly go to the wall.
