Transcriber's Notes In this Plain Text version, ASCII and Latin-1 character sets have been used; italic typeface is represented by _surrounding underscores_; small caps typeface is represented by ALL CAPS. Linenotes have been grouped at the end of each ballad. Linenote anchors in the form [L##] have been added to the text (they are not in the original but alert the reader to the presence of a note refering to line number ##). Irregular and inconsistent spellings have been retained as in the original. Typographical errors such as wrongly placed line numbers, punctuation or inconsistent formatting have been corrected without comment. Where changes have been made to the wording these are listed at the end of the book. * * * * * ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH BALLADS. EDITED BY FRANCIS JAMES CHILD. VOLUME II.
