_Contents_.

PAGE

Marsk Stig's Daughters. [_Two daughters fair the Marshal 7
had_]

The Three Expectants. [_There are three for my death 11
that now pine_]

Translation. [_One summer morn_, _as I was seeking_] 13

The English Gipsy:

He. [_As I to the town was going one day_ 14
_My Roman lass I met by the way_]

She. [_As I to the town was going one day_ 14
_I met a young Roman upon the way_]

The first of these two stanzas had been printed
previously in _Romano Lavo-Lil_, 1874, p. 183.

Gipsy Song. [_Up_, _up_, _brothers_] 16

_The wit and the skill_

_With their foes to cope_
_The Romany need_.

1913.

_The strength of the ox_,
_The wit of the fox_,
_And the leveret's speed_;
_All_, _all to oppose_
_Their numerous foes_
_The Romany need_.

Song. [_Nastrond's blazes_] 19

Another version of this _Song_ was printed previously
(divided up, and with many textual variations) in _The
Death of Balder_, 1899, pp. 53-54.

Lines. [_To read the great mysterious Past_] 21

As a specimen of Borrow's lighter lyrical verse, as
