A Dictionary of Music and Musicians — Burden

'Heigh trollollie loe,

Heigh trollollie lee.'

'Farthing linkum laddium,

Fann—ho—fanny ho,

Farthing glen.'

'Foote it featly heere and there,

And sweet Sprites the burthen beare.'

'Harke, harke, bowgh-wough;

The watch-dogges barke

Bowgh-wough.'

'This the burden of his song

For ever us'd to be,

I care for nobody, no, not I,

If nobody cares for me.'
