A glee for four voices, [Printed for] The Author: Westminster. by Dr. Samuel Arnold, c 1775. Two copies of the original edition are in London (that's all in the British Isles). I don't have a copy of it. The Library of Congress has a large Arnold collection, formed by a collector who specialized in Arnold's works. |

"Twas on Christmas day" in Child's Appendix to "Our Goodman", #274, is by his son Samuel Arnold, Jr. and it is from their joint opera 'Auld Robin Gray', 1794. |

Each season has pleasure and blessing in store: Rejoice and be happy and wish for no more; For know, the best season to laugh and to sing Is summer, is winter, is autumn, is spring. |
