One of Arnold's arrangements of Scottish songs. "Scots airs" were popular throughout society in the 1790s. The collection in which this item appeared, produced by the printer to the king, had in its subscription list figures as diverse as (e.g.) Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and William Blake.
The lyrics by D'Urfey (The Generous Lover) were, except for the first verse, completely rewritten for a polite audience, to gloss over the subjects of fornication and bastardy; ironic perhaps, given that Arnold was popularly reputed to be a by-blow of Princess Amelia.
