Abstract

A collection of songs and ballads. In the first, when a young soldier in the king’s guard must leave to fight for his king, his sweetheart begs to accompany him in disguise as a fellow soldier, causing strife between the two as he is sent abroad to fight. In the second, the beauty of a young woman is praised by comparing her features to various features of Nature. The third song is a lament of a young woman whose love has marched off to war, leaving her behind to compare the desolation of winter of the surrounding valley to the desolation of her heart. In the last song, a bird sings a lament for Prince Charlie, who after his defeat is forced to run and live rough in a land that should be his by rights.
