The Tale of Brynild. [_Sivard he a colt has got_] 5

Of _The Tale of Brynild_, two manuscripts are extant,
written in 1829 and 1854 respectively. The text of the
latter, from which the ballad was printed in the present
pamphlet, is immeasurably the superior.

King Valdemar and his sister. [_See_, _see_, _with Queen 13
Sophy sits Valdemar bold_]

Mirror of Cintra. [_Tiny fields in charming order_] 34

The Harp. [_The harp to everyone is dear_] 35

There can be little doubt that the series of poems included in this
volume present Borrow at his best as a writer of Ballads.

There is a copy of _The Tale of Brynild and King Valdemar and his Sister_
in the Library of the British Museum. The Pressmark is C. 44. d. 38.
