Ride Through Sandgate

Ride through Sandgate, both up and down,
there you'll see the gallants fighting for the crown:
All the cull cuckolds in Sunderland town,
With all the bonny blue caps, cannot pull them down.

This is a genuine fragment of a ballad relating to Newcastle,
beseiged by Lesley and the Scots army.  The blue caps (or Scotchmen),
did, however, at last succeed in pulling them down,
after a most gallant defense, 19th  October 1644.
