  <dc:title>The squire and Maria</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Sheet music for piano and voice titled, “The squire and Maria”, appearing as two folio sheets (total 8 pages). Depicted, in lithograph, on the cover is a wedding scene; an elderly groom with a young bride and well-wishers in the background. Inset is a head and shoulders portrait of the performer in white tie. Lyrics of the chorus are depicted: ‘Said the squire to Maria “your charms I do admire, you’ve set my heart on fire, I love you tho’ I’m old.” “Oh squire,” said Maria, “you’ve something I require-“ She had one eye on the squire, and the other on his gold’. A footnote proclaims, “Sung with uproarious applause by Fred Coyne, Will Riley, Jolly Nash and Geo. Ware.”</dc:description>
