A Choice Collection of Poems in Cumberland Dialect: I. The Harvest, or Bashful Shepherd, a Pastoral by the Rev. Mr. ROBERT NELSON, late of Great-Salkeld, near Penrith, in Cumberland; II. Haytime, or the Constant Lovers, a Pastoral; III. St. Agnes Fast, or the Amorous Maiden, a Pastoral; and other subjects no less entertaining. 12mo. pp. 16 Sunderland, printed by R. Wetherald, N. D. These Pieces are generally attributed to the Rev. Josiah Relph, and are to be found in his Poems, first published in 1747; but, from the following note prefixed to them in this collection, a doubt is raised as to the authorship. "The following Pastoral was composed about one hundred years since by the Rev. Mr. Robert Nelson, a worthy clergyman at Great Salkeld in Cumberland; I am persuaded the judicious readers who understand the Dialect will discover as true pastoral simplicity, and as many natural beauties in it, as can be met with in the best of Ramsay's Poems; I am sensible it was published some years since under the title of "The Harvest, or the Bashful Shepherd.' But, as I apprehend, some of the greatest beauties are lost by the alterations and omissions which are made in that edition." The only piece beyond those mentioned in the title-page in this collection, is the very common ballad of the "Farmer's Blunder," commencing with A farmer once to London went, To pay the worthy 'squire his rent, &c.
