Bulgarian ballad.—Stojan is married on Sunday; on Monday he is ordered
to join the army. His wife gives him a posy, which will remain fresh
until she marries another man. He serves nine years; the tenth the queen
discovers from his talk that he has a wife, and gives him permission to
go home. He arrives the very day on which his wife is to be remarried,
goes to the wedding, and asks her to kiss his hand and accept a gift
from him. She recognizes him by the ring on his hand, sends off the
guests, and goes home with him. Collection of the Ministry of
Instruction, I, 39. In a variant, Verković, p. 329, No 301, the man is
gone three years, and arrives just as the wedding procession comes for
the bride. (W. W.)

206. #H.# I have received from Mr Walker, of Aberdeen, author of ‘The
Bards of Bonaccord,’ a copy of ‘Hind Horn’ which was taken down by a
correspondent of his on lower Deeside about 1880. It closely resembles
#G# and #H#. Collated with #H#, the more note-worthy variations are as
follows:
1^1. Hey how, bound, lovie, hey how, free.
6^2. An the glintin o ‘t was aboon.
