In Devon dialect & English in parallel columns.

Probably written jointly with Benjamin Bowring; according to a preface first published in the 7th edition (Exeter, 1771), it was composed by "a blind itinerant fidler, (one Peter Lock, of North-Moulton ...)" & written down by "a neighbouring clergyman" (sometimes wrongly identified as William Hole). See T.N. Brushfield, The life ... of Andrew Brice (1888).
