Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Works of Henry Mackenzie, Esq., Vol. 8 of 8 The following ballad was an almost extempore production, written when I was a mere lad, in imitation of the abrupt and laconic description of the ancient Scottish ballad, some of which had been collected and published about that time. It was sent, under the above fictitious title, to the editor of The London Chronicle, who published it without any comment; and such was the state of politics at the time, that some of his readers objected to the first line, "Saw ye the Thane o´ meikle pride," as applying personally to Lord Bute, who used to be known by that appellation. It was afterwards inserted in Clark´s Collection of Ancient Scottish Ballads as genuine, though one should have thought the imitation was so inartificial as might have saved it from the sin of forgery.
