Book Description
Excerpt from Old English Ditties, Vol. 1: Selected From W. Chappell's "Popular Music of the Olden Time" History had its origin in poetry,11 says an old Danish author, and this is nu doubtedly true as to much of the early history of our own country. Without going so far as Lord Macaulay, who ranks Hengist and Horsa, Vortigern and Rowena, Arthur and Mordred, as mythical persons, whose very existence may be questioned, we may, at least, point to many adventures of our ancient kings and heroes, which, if not altogether inventions of the poet, have undoubtedly reached us only through the medium of song. In the anglo-saxon Chronicle, two complete historical ballads, and fragments of eight or ten others are inserted as integral parts of the Chronicle. While some of our earliest writers mix toge ther truth and fiction, without attempting to distinguish between them, others, like William of Malmesbury, divide records for which there was some show of authority from those which were only derived from ballads sung about the country. In this way we learn the subjects of many of the legends and historical songs which delighted our ancestors for successive centuries.
