Subject: RE: Origins: George Collins: revisited
Does anyone know the rest of this parody, published by Skillern c. 1778-1780. It was mentioned by Steve and begins:

Giles Collins he came to bis own father's gate
Where he so oft had been- a,
But who should come down but his own mother dear
For to let Giles Collins in- a.
Oh, for to let Giles Collins in.
