Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bishop Percy´s Folio Manuscript: Ballads and Romances Of this third volume the Historical Ballads are the principal feature. Though the Robin Hood set are continued by Adam Belly and Younge Cloudeslee, the Arthur set by The Carle of Carlile, the Romances and Romance-poems by Sir Degree and Sir Cawline, yet the Historical Ballads far outweigh these in number and importance. Starting at King Edgar, they take us down through William the Conquerour, The Drowning of Henery the I his Children, Edward the Third, the Seege of Roune (1418-19), Proud where the Spencers, the Murthering of Edward the Fourth his Sonnes, The Rose of Englande, Sir John Butler, Bosworth Feilde, Ladye Bessiye, Sir Andrew Bartton (1511), the Wininge of Cales (1596), The Spanish Ladies Love, to A Prophecye of James I.´s time, 1620 A.D., written some twenty years before the MS. was copied. More Songs also appear in this volume than in either of the previous ones, and include the beautiful Nut-Brown Mayde (though in a poor text), Baloive (in which Mr. Chappell and Dr. Rimbault have helped us), and a spirited hawking song, A Cauilere. But the piece of chief merit is undoubtedly the fine alliterative poem in two fitts, now for the first time printed. Death & Liffe.
