Little is to be said of _The Gardener_ or _The Whummil Bore_, the former
being almost a lyric, and the latter presumably a fragment. _Waly,
waly_, is not a ballad at all, and is only included because it has
become confused with _Jamie Douglas_.
_The Jolly Juggler_ seems to be a discovery, and I commend it to the
notice of those better qualified to deal with it. The curious fifth line
added to each verse may be the work of some minstrel--a humorous
addition to, or comment upon, the foregoing stanza. Certain Danish
ballads exhibit this peculiarity, but I cannot find any Danish
counterpart to the ballad in Prior's three volumes.
