BACKGROUND

ROSALIND CASTLE

'Twas in that season of the year,
When all things gay & sweet appear
When Colin on a morning gay,
Arose & sung his rural lay.
Of Nancy's charms the shepherd sung,
The hills & dales with Nancy sung,
Till Ros'line castle heard the swain;
And echoe'd back the cheerful strain.
