Excerpt from A Collection of Ballads Instances perpetually occur in the Sagas: Grettir, Egil, Skarphedin, are always sing ing. 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.

When the learned first gave serious attention to popular ballads, from the time of Percy to that of Scott, they laboured under certain disabilities. The Comparative Method was scarcely understood, and was little practised. Editors were content to study the ballads of their own countryside, or, at most, of Great Britain. Teutonic and Northern parallels to our ballads were then adduced, as by Scott and Jamieson. It was later that the ballads of Europe, from the Faroes to Modern Greece, were compared with our own, with European Märchen, or children's tales, and with the popular songs, dances, and traditions of classical and savage peoples. The results of this more recent comparison may be briefly stated. Poetry begins, as Aristotle says, in improvisation. Every man is his own poet, and, in moments of stronge motion, expresses himself in song.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They hadna been a week, a weekIn Noroway but twae, When that the lords o NorowayBegan aloud to say: "Ye Scottishmen spend a' our king's goud, And a' our queenis fee.""Ye lie, ye lie, ye liars loud!Fu' loud I hear ye lie!"For I brought as much white monieAs gane my men and me, And I brought a half-fou' o' gude red goud, Out o'er the sea wi' me."Make ready, make ready, my merry-men a'!Our gude ship sails the morn.""Now ever alake, my master dear, I fear a deadly storm!I saw the new moon, late yestreen, Wi' the auld moon in her arm;And if we gang to sea, master, I fear we'll come to harm."They hadna sail'd a league, a league, A league but barely three, When the lift grew dark, and the wind blew loud, And gurly grew the sea.The ankers brak, and the top-masts lap, It was sic a deadly storm;And the waves cam o'er the broken ship, Till a' her sides were torn."O where will I get a gude sailor, To take my helm in hand, Till I get up to the tall top-mast;To see if I can spy land?""O here am I, a sailor gude, To take the helm in hand, Till you go up to the tall top-mastBut I fear you'll ne'er spy land."He hadna gane a step, a step, A st
