Notes
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'Again we hear the voice of the poor, complaining of hard times, poverty, and lack of sympathy on the part of their betters and employers. The 'prop of the land' is a very good expression and there is optimism and good nature at the end of the piece. The song is old. I obtained the copy of Robert Godwin, Southrop.'
