Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Ballads Unlike the earlier collections of ballads, this little volume is offered to the public without apology for the poems; they have long since established themselves in the body of our literature. Many teachers, however, have been unable to put them into the hands of their pupils for want of a cheap yet faithful text, and this edition is offered in the hope of answering such a need. The little trouble necessary for mastering the somewhat antiquated forms of the language will be amply repaid by the fuller knowledge that will be gained of the real thought and feeling of our ancestors. I am indebted to Professor Frederick Tupper, Jr., of the University of Vermont, for many valuable suggestions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of British Ballads Although it was not the modern version that moved the great heart of Sidney more than a trumpet, it is undoubtedly that which, for centuries, has maintained its popularity, in England, more firmly, and, perhaps, more universally, than any other of the favourites of the people. And, whether we agree with Percy, in considering that the old ballad was expressly modernised, in consequence of the eulogium it received in the Defence of Poetry or with Scott, in believing the changes it has undergone to have been produced by the gradual alterations of numerous reciters, there can be but one Opinion as to its beauty, grandeur, force, and sim plicity, - qualities, in the happy combination of which, it is unsurpassed by any composition in the language.

With regard to time, it is as well to notice that the minim must be taken at the rate of a crotchet in our days. When the type was designed a question arose as to the use of bars. Bars are a device to awaken a sense of rhythm in those naturally deficient in it, unknown to music at the time when these songs were writ, ten, and we have not thought it necessary to in, trude them. The emphasis must be determined by the words themselves, even the relative length of the notes is a matter of approximation only. A song like la Courte Pa1lle for ex, ample, which has never been conventionalised, can only be written down by varying the time signature from bar to bar, and even then the re: which I mean one who sings the words to be understood, intuitively produces.
