At Paris, hard by the Maine barriers, Whoever will choose to repair, Midst a dozen of wooden-legged warriors May haply fall in with old Pierre. On the sunshiny bench of a tavern He sits and he prates of old wars, And moistens his pipe of tobacco With a drink that is named after Mars. The beer makes his tongue run the quicker, And as long as his tap never fails, Thus over his favourite liquor Old Peter will tell his old tales. Says he, "In my life's ninety summers Strange changes and chances I've seen, - So here's to all gentlemen drummers That ever have thumped on a skin. "Brought up in the art military For four generations we are; My ancestors drummed for King Harry, The Huguenot lad of Navarre. And as each man in life has his station According as Fortune may fix, While Conde was waving the baton, My grandsire was trolling the sticks.

Download or read book Ballads and Ballad Poetry Classic Reprint written by Edward Everett Hale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads and Ballad Poetry The study of ballads is a study in very plain and simple poetry. The word ballad is some times loosely used, but generally people under stand by it a poem written to be sung and telling a story. There are many poems written to be sung, hymns, for instance, and all kinds of every day songs, but these we do not call ballads. There are many poems which tell stories, but are written without any idea of being sung, like Evangeline, and these we do not call ballads either. But in the early days of literature poetry is commonly sung, or recited in something of a sing-song way, and it generally tells a story be cause in the early days people are more interested in stories than in other forms of poetry. As people grow more and more cultivated, their poems are written down so that they no longer have the character that comes from being written for'musio, and as time goes on people have wider mterests in literature and care for other things in poetry than stories. So ballads are common only in the early days of any literature, or if in later days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Ballads of the Olden Time Ballad editors of yore were confronted with perhaps two, perhaps twenty, versions of each ballad; some unintelligibly fragmentary, some intelligibly complete; some in print, some in manuscript, some, perchance, in their own memories. Collating these, they subjected the text to minute revision, omitting and adding, altering and inserting, to suit their personal tastes and standards, literary!

In Kidnapped, Mr. Stevenson intro duces The Song of the Sword of Alan, a fine example of Celtic practice: words and air are beaten out together, in the heat of victory. In the same way, the women sang improvised dirges, like Helen; lul labies, like the lullaby of Dance in Simon ides, and flower songs, as in modern Italy. Every function of life, war, agriculture the chase, had its appropriate magical and mimetic dance and song, as in Finland, among Red Indians, and among Australian blacks. The deeds of men were chanted by heroes, as by Achilles; stories were told in alternate verse and prose; girls, like Homer's N ausicaa, accompanied dance and ball play, priests and medicine-men ac companied rites and magical ceremonies by songs.

Download or read book Songs and Ballads Classic Reprint written by Fanny Raymond-Ritter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Ballads Rather less than half the songs and ballads in the accompanying collection have already appeared in English and American periodicals and as some among these have been several times illustrated by composers, while to a few the compliment of translation has been accorded, their re-appearance here may not prove unwelcome to their former readers. Others now appear in print for the first time. Part of the transcriptions might be more truly termed free fan tasias (in musical parlance) on fragments, broken verses, of partially lost folk-songs; others, to which the authors' names are appended, are as true to their originals as befits translations that rather aim at preserving the spirit than the letter. With the exception of one or two of which I have seen English prose versions, and the Servian song, which Lord Lytton had already translated, these appear, I believe, for the first time in our language.
