Abstract

Four ballads about love and women. Some are sad or bitter, others are humorous, but none have happy endings. Mary of Castle-Cary: Two young men fight over the love of the beautiful young Mary who apparently has been kissing them both, if not more. Roslin’s Ruins: a young man escapes to Roslin Ruins to brood on loneliness and the rejection of his love. Rob’s Jock: a humorous song where a young man woos a young woman, but the majority of the song appears to list the tocher (dowry) that Jenny brings with her. The Lass of Humber-Side: a lament of young woman whose love has drowned in Iceland Bay.
