The body of the drowned girl is discovered, in nearly all the English ballads, by some member of the miller's household, and is taken out of the water by the miller. In #L b#, which, however, is imperfect at the beginning, a harper finds the body. In the Icelandic ballads it is found on the seashore by the lover; in all the Norwegian but #M# by two fishermen, as also in Swedish #D# [fishermen in Swedish #B#]; in all the Färöe versions and Norwegian #M# by two "pilgrims;"[132] in Danish #A-F#, #L#, and Swedish #C# by two musicians, Danish #H#, Swedish #A#, #G#, one. Danish #G#, which is corrupted at the close, has three musicians, but these simply witness and report the drowning. According to all complete and uncorrupted forms of the ballad, either some part of the body of the drowned girl is taken to furnish a musical instrument, a harp or a viol,[133] or the instrument is wholly made from the body. This is done in the Norse ballads by those who first find the body, save in Swedish #B#, where fishermen draw the body ashore, and a passing "speleman" makes the instrument. In English it is done by the miller, #A#; by a harper, #B#, #C#, #G#, #L b# (the _king's_ harper in #B#); by a fiddler, #D#, #E#, #I#, #L a# (?), #O#, #P# (the _king's_ fiddler, #O# (?), #P#); by both a fiddler and the king's harper, #H#; in #F# by the father's herdsman, who happens to be a fiddler. Perhaps the original conception was the simple and beautiful one which we find in English #B# and both the Icelandic ballads, that the king's harper, or the girl's lover, takes three locks of her yellow hair to string his harp with. So we find three tets of hair in #D#, #E#, #I#, and three links in #F#, #P#, used, or directed to be used, to string the fiddle or the fiddle-bow, and the same, apparently, with Danish #A#. Infelicitous additions were, perhaps, successively made; as a harp-frame from the breast-bone in English #C#, and fiddle-pins formed of the finger-joints, English #F#, #O#, Danish #B#, #C#, #E#, #F#, #L#. Then we have all three: the frame of the instrument formed from the breast (or trunk), the screws from the finger-joints, the strings from the hair, Swedish #A#, #B#, #G#, Norwegian #A#, #C#, #M#. And so one thing and another is added, or substituted, as fiddle-bows of the arms or legs, Swedish #C#, #D#, Danish #H#, English #L a#; a harp-frame from the arms, Norwegian #B#, Färöe #A#; a fiddle-frame from the skull, Swedish #C#, or from the back-bone, English #L b#; a _plectrum_ from the arm, Färöe #B#; strings from the veins, English #A#; a bridge from the nose, English #A#, #L a#; "hørpønota" from the teeth, Norwegian #B#; till we end with the buffoonery of English #A# and #L a#.
