In manuscript: "The play concludes with / God Save the King / a favorite song called / The Bonnie / or he will come if he dare / by desire of Capt Simpson and the officers of the Royal Whitby Volunteers
A long shot this but does a song 'The Bonney or he may come if he dare' ring any bells with #c18th #skustorians?
Probably just North Yorks dialect for a lad but in conjunction with God Save the King I do kind of want it to be Charles Edward Stuart.
(verso of a playbill of 1795)
