Ballads
The originals of the French folk-songs here translated are to be found in the collections of MM. De Puymaigre and Gerard de Nerval, and in the report of M. Ampère.
The verses called a ‘Lady of High Degree’ are imitated from a very early chanson in Bartsch’s collection.
The Greek ballads have been translated with the aid of the French versions by M. Fauriel.
