Excerpt from The Book of British Ballads: First Series National Ballads, and I care not who makes the Laws," - it requires no argument to prove their powerful influence over the thoughts and feelings of all classes - the cultivated as well as the uncultivated. It is not too much to say, that in "uncivill ages" no source of instruction was so fertile, - and no missionary so effective in moulding the general sentiment, as "the blinde crowder" - it may have been, - "who, with no rougher voice than rude style," stirred up the sympathies of the multitude, and moved even the great heart of Sidney, "more than with a trumpet." Nor can he be considered a visionary, who would draw conclusions, as to the pre-eminently moral character of Great Britain, from the fact, that the songs which encourage virtue and justice, uphold heroic fortitude, and inculcate, as an axiom, that "God defends the right," have been, in all ages, the chiefest "darlings of the common people." The Editor has here endeavoured to form a selection that shall be agreeable and interesting to the general reader, and not unsatisfactory to the antiquary and the scholar. It has been, however, an essential part of his design, to collect only the Ballads that appear most worthy of preservation, - and not to reprint those which have no stronger recommendation than their rarity; - rejecting none, because they are already sufficiently known, and accepting none, because they are merely scarce. It was his duty to decline no labour that might give completeness to his task; and to omit no opportunities of consulting available sources of information, whether accessible to all readers, or to be obtained only by patient industry and careful search. His plan, in its several details, it is unnecessary for him to explain, inasmuch as it is here sufficiently developed. It will be perceived, that he has not modernised the orthography; believing, that "these old and antique songs" will be most readily welcomed in their ancient dress, - "The garb our Muses wore in former years."

Excerpt from A Book of British Ballads Ballad-collectors, however, have never strictly regarded any one of these definitions, and to me their catholicity seems worthy of imitation. I have demanded no more of a ballad than that it should be a simple spirited narra tive; and, though excluding the pure lyrics and metrical romances found in Percy's Reliques or elsewhere, I have been guided in doubtful cases rather by intuition than by rule; having included poems written in every variety of metre except blank verse, and even the latter may seem to be represented by Blake's F air Elinor.

Excerpt from British Ballads, Vol. 1 of 4: Ancient and Modern The events on which this ballad is founded began in 1476, when a richly loaded ship, under the com mand of John Barton, was seized by the Portuguese.
