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

Pretty Peg - - As I gaed up by yon gate-end, - When day was waxin' weary, - Wha did I meet come down the street, - But pretty Peg, my dearie! - 2. Her air sae sweet, an' shape complete, - Wi' nae proportion wanting, - The Queen of Love did never move - Wi' motion mair enchanting. - - 3. Wi' linked hands we took the sands, - Adown yon winding river; - Oh, that sweet hour and shady bower, - Forget it shall I never!

Let not the ballad-singer’s shrilling strain, Amid the swarm thy list’ning ear detain:, Guard well thy pocket; for these sirens stand, To aid the labours of the diving hand ... ~ John Gay
