Of course it's interesting, but not here. This group is supposed to be about
ballads. I'm with Judith all the way.
Unless, of course, you have a ballad on the subject, such as this recently
discovered fragment from the Hague MS:
'Twas early in the month of June
As the dying kine did bellow
The rose of Blair bloomed red and fair
Amang the blue flowers and the yellow
Oh lass if ye'll be ruled by me
And leave yon grinning fellow
Ye'll never mind the stench o' kine
Amang the blue flowers and the yellow
Ah, laddie, I can never leave
The rose of Blair so mellow
Nor love in June some bald-pate loon
Amang the blue flowers and the yellow
Then I'll away to some dark pit
And weep like any willow
My heart pricked sair by the rose of Blair
Amang the blue flowers and the yellow
;oD
Simon
