Transcriber's Notes
In this Plain Text version, the ASCII character set has
been used; italic typeface is represented by _surrounding
underscores_; small caps typeface is represented by ALL CAPS.
The following substitutions are used to represent Latin-1 symbols:
[a'] a-grave [e'] e-grave [i'] i-grave
[:a] a-umlaut [:o] o-umlaut [:u] u-umlaut
['e] e-acute ['i] i-acute
[oa] a-ring
[ae] ae-ligature

Linenotes have been grouped at the end of each ballad. Linenote
anchors in the form [L##] have been added to the text (they are not
in the original but alert the reader to the presence of a note
refering to line number ##).
Irregular and inconsistent spellings have been retained as in the
original. Typographical errors such as wrongly placed line numbers,
punctuation or inconsistent formatting have been corrected without
comment. Where changes have been made to the wording these are
listed at the end of the book.
