Abstract

A collection of several short ballads and songs on a variety of topics, including: a tale of a tryst that ends in betrayal and the loss of certain articles of clothing; a humorous song portrayal of a minor church official who is overzealous in his duty; the efforts of a young man trying to convince his lover to meet with him after dark in the woods when she is afraid of ghosts and fairies; an short, humorous song – almost an anecdote – about an Irish fisherman; a reflection on the beauty of the meeting of two rivers, made more beautiful for being in the company of friends; a celebration of the joys of deer hunting; and the lament of an exile dwelling on the beauty of his native land.
