The Child Ballads are traditional ballads from England and Scotland, collected and anthologized by Francis James Child during the second half of the 19th century. The collection contains examples from the 13th century onward. However, the majority of the ballads date to the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Although some have very ancient influences, only a handful can be definitively traced to before 1600. Child Ballads are heavier and darker than other ballads. The topics of the ballads are romance, enchantment, devotion, determination, obsession, jealousy, forbidden love, hallucination, the suppressed truth, supernatural experiences and deeds, half-human creatures, teenagers, family strife, the boldness of outlaws, authority, lust, death, karma, punishment, sin, morality, vanity, folly, dignity, nobility, and many others. They contain stories of national heroes like Robin Hood and mysterious creatures like elves and fairies.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ... battle took place on the 22d of September, 1745, between the villages of Tranent and Preston-pans, a few miles from Edinburgh. The king's lieutenant-general, Sir John Cope, was disgracefully defeated by the Highlanders under Charles Edward, and nearly all his army killed or taken. The details of the conflict are vividly described in the 46th and 47th chapters of AVaverley. The Chevalier, being void of fear, Did march up Birsle brae, man. And thro' Tranent, e'er he did stent, As fast as he could gae, man: While General Cope did taunt and mock, Wi' mony a loud huzza, man; But e'er next morn proclaim'd the cock, We heard another craw, man. The brave Lochiel, as I heard tell, Led Camerons on in clouds, man; The morning fair, and clear the air. The' loos'd with devilish thuds, man. Down guns they threw, and swords they drew And soon did chace them aff, man; On Seaton-Crafts they buft their chafts, is And gart them rin like daft, man. The bluff dragoons swore blood and 'oons, They'd make the rebels run, man; And yet they flee when them they see, And winna fire a gun, man: 20 They turn'd their back, the foot they brake, Such terror seiz'd them a', man; Some wet their cheeks, some fyl'd their breeks, And some for fear did fa', man. The volunteers prick'd up their ears, 25 And vow gin they were crouse, man; But when the bairns saw't turn to earn'st, They were not worth a louse man. Maist feck gade hame; O fy for shame! They'd better stay'd awa', man, x Than wi' cockade to make parade, And do nae good at a', man. Menteith the great, when hersell sh--, Un'wares did ding him o'er man; 33. The minister of Longformacus, a volunteer; who, happening to come, the night before the battle, upon a Highlander easing nature at Preston, threw him over, and...
