History is reflected in the words of many songs of many folk groups

   Oil of Barley - - There's a lusty liquor which - Good fellows use to take-a, - It is distill'd with nard most rich, - And water of the lake-a; - Of hop a little quantity, - And barm to it they bring too; - Being barrell'd up, they call't a cup - Of dainty good old stingo. - 2. 'Twill make a man indentures make - 'Twill make a fool seem wise, - 'Twill make a Puritan sociate, - And leave to be precise; - 'Twill make him dance about a cross, - And eke to run the ring too, - Or anything he once thought gross, - Such virtue hath old stingo. - - 3. 'Twill make a constable over see - Sometimes to serve a warrant; - 'Twill make a bailiff lose his fee, - Though he be a knave-arrant; - 'Twill make a lawyer, though that he - To ruin oft men brings, too, - Sometimes forget to take his fee - If his head be lin'd with stingo.

 
 

Quotations about Folk Groups.      

Quotations about folk groups and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

A certain Music, never known before, Here soothed the pensive melancholy Mind; The God of Winds drew Sounds of deep Delight: Whence, with just Cause, The Harp of Aeolus it Light. Ah me! what hand can touch the strings so fine? Who up the lofty Diapason roll, Such sweet, such sad, such solemn Airs divine, Then let them down again into the Soul? ~ James Thomson
