FOOTNOTES:
[43] Edward Guilpin, in his Skialethia, or A Shadow of Truth, 1598, has
this couplet:
Yet like th’ olde ballad of the Lord of Lorne, Whose last line in King
Harrie’s days was borne. Chappell, Popular Music, p. 228.
It is possible that Guilpin meant that the last line (stanza?) showed
the ballad to be of Henry VIII’s time; but he may have meant exactly
what he says, that the last line was of Henry VIII’s time. We do not
know what the last line of the copy intended by Guilpin was, and all
we learn from the couplet is that ‘The Lord of Lorn’ was called an old
ballad before the end of the sixteenth century.
