summary:
  Look over Percy, Evans, or Mr Collier's suite of _Roxburghe Ballads_, giving those which were popular in London during the seventeenth century, and you find not a trace of the style and manner of these Scottish romantic ballads. It is nowhere pretended that any _ancient_ manuscript of this poem has ever been seen or heard of.

  It was with 'a wand o' the bonnie birk' that May Margaret went through the mysterious process of restoring her plighted troth to Clerk Saunders; in other ballads it is done by passes of the hand, or of a crystal rod. And in _Earl Richard_ and other ballads, it is the 'popinjay' that proclaims guilt or fear from turret or tree.

  The tradition of Ettrick Forest bears, that the outlaw was a man of prodigious strength, possessing a baton or club, with which he laid _lee_ (_i. e._ waste) the country for many miles round; and that he was at length slain by Buccleuch, or some of his clan, at a little mount, covered with fir-trees, adjoining to Newark Castle, and said to have been a part of the garden. an honde, 283, _in hand_. anis, _once_.

summary:
  The catastrophe of _Tamlane_ terminated more successfully than that of other attempts, which tradition still records. But Chaucer, and those poets who have adopted his phraseology, have only followed the romance writers; for the same substitution occurs in the romance of _Orfeo and Heurodis_, in which the story of Orpheus and Eurydice is transformed into a beautiful romantic tale of faÃ«ry, and the Gothic mythology engrafted on the fables of Greece.
