DING 2014: “Pills to Cure Melancholy (1719) contains three songs in which Southwestern and Northern English are represented. These have been included in the corpus as anonymous: “The Country-Man’s Ramble Thro’ Bartholomew-Fair”, “A Song” and “The West-Countryman’s Song on a Wedding”. It is very likely that they were originally composed in the 17th c.”
