Abstract
A collection of songs and ballads. The first song wishes speed to a fishing vessel, as well as describing some simple celebrations of love and home life, while the second song describes the beauty and allure of the young lass who has stolen the singer’s heart. In the following song, a young woman is promised to a young lord, and although her marriage would bring her much wealth, she weeps because her heart loves another. On the day of the wedding, the young bride is found to have run away with her love. The final song is a popular ballad in which an old wife harangues her husband to get up and out to work while he complains about the state of his old cloak as well as the sharpness of her tongue.
