Crosland gathers the songs and ballads that ordinary readers were likely to know by heart, from early Tudor lyrics such as “My Swete Swetyng” and “Greensleeves” through Agincourt songs, Blake’s “Tyger”, Burns’s “Scots Wha Hae” and “Ae Fond Kiss”, Scott’s “Allen-a-Dale” and much more, with indexes of first lines and authors.
