LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP. AKA and see "Leave off the idle prating," "Steward's Lodge Song." English, Air (4/4 time). C Major (Howe): D Major (O'Flannagan). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The air is quite old and was printed with words to a song (as "Love and Friendship") in John Watts' Musicial Miscellany vol. 6 (London, 1735, 40-43), and subsequently anthologized in songsters throughout the 18th century. Words to the song in the 'Miscellany' begin:
Leave off the idle prating,
Talk no more of Whig and Tory;
But drink your glass,
Round let it pass,
The bottle stands before ye.
Cho:
Fill it up to the top,
Let the night with mirth be crown'd;
Drink about, see it out,
Love and friendship still go round.
If claret be a blessing,
This night devote to pleasure;
Let worldly cares and state affairs,
Be thought on at more leisure.
James Aird printed it as "Steward's Lodge Song" in his Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. II (Glasgow, 1785, No. 24). Fr. John Quinn finds a somewhat distanced version as an untitled tune in the large c. 1883 music manuscript collection (p. 65, No. 217) of fiddler biography:Stephen Grier (c.1824-1894, of Newpark, Bohey, Gortletteragh, Co. Leitrim).
