One half of these texts, as Olrik remarks, are of Swedish origin, and even derived from the Swedish broadside; others have marks of their own, and one in particular, which indicates the ultimate source of the story in both the Swedish and the Danish ballad. This source appears to be the Decameron, IV, 1, as in the Scottish and Italian ballads. The points of resemblance are: A princess, an only daughter, has a lover; her father disapproves, and throws the lover into prison (where he remains fifteen years in the ballad, only a day or two in the tale). The lover is taken from prison and put to death, and his heart is cut out. (The heart is not sent to the princess in a golden vessel, as in the Decameron, IV, 1, and the Scottish and Italian ballads, but is cooked, and given her to eat, and is eaten; and she says, when informed that she has eaten her lover’s heart, that it shall be her last food.) In most of the Scandinavian ballads the princess calls for wine (mead), and ‘drinks herself to death.’ But in =C= it is expressly said that she drinks poisoned wine, in =E a=, =c=, =k=, poisonous wine, in =D= that she puts a grain of poison in the cruse. (In =E l= they mix the lover’s blood in wine; she takes two draughts, and her heart bursts.) A husband giving his wife her lover’s heart to eat is a feature in an extensive series of poems and tales, sufficiently represented for present purposes by the ninth tale in the fourth day of the Decameron, and no further explanation is required of the admixture in the Scandinavian ballad.[32] In Danish =A a=, =b=, =h=, =o=, =B b=, two lilies spring from the common grave of the lovers, and embrace or grow together. In =E k=, =l=, =F b=, =e=, =f=, and Kristensen, XI, No 46, the lovers are buried apart (she south, he north, of kirk, etc.), a lily springs from each, and the two grow together. =Low and High German, Dutch.= =A.= ‘Brennenberg,’ 12 stanzas, Uhland, I, 158, No 75 A, Niederdeutsches Liederbuch, No 44, conjectured to be of the beginning of the seventeenth century. ‘Der Bremberger,’ Böhme, p. 87, No 23 B (omitting sts 3, 4); Simrock, Die deutschen Volkslieder, p. 14, No 5, Die geschichtlichen deutschen Sagen, p. 325, No 105 (omitting sts 1-4, and turned into High German). =B.= ‘Ein schöner Bremberger,’ 8 stanzas, flying-sheet, 8°, Nürnberg, Valentin Newber, about 1550-70, Böhme, No 23 A; Wunderhorn, ed.
