Introduction

The date of this unpublished ballad fragment is uncertain. It survives only in an undated fair copy manuscript in the Princeton/Troxell Collection.

Preceding the fragment, which is truncated only because the page bearing its continuation is not extant, is another unpublished (but complete) set of ballad verses titled “Adieu”.
