- BROADSIDE BALLADS :
- The
Contemplator's Short History of Broadside Ballads
"Printed folk music was extremely popular for more
than four hundred years, beginning in the sixteenth century.
Words to popular songs were printed on sheets of varying
lengths. They came to be known as broadsides...
'Death and the Lady' was printed on a broadside by J. Deacon
sometime between 1683 and 1700.
It was printed as 'The Great Messenger of Mortality, or
a Dialogue betwixt Death and a Lady'."
(contemplator.com)
"The four concluding lines of the present copy of DEATH
AND THE LADY are found inscribed on tomb-stones
in village church-yards in every part of England" :
"The grave's the market-place where all men meet,
Both rich and poor, as well as small and great.
If life were merchandise that gold could buy,
The rich would live, the poor alone would die."
(worldwideschool.org)
"A haughty rich young lady tries to buy off Death
when he comes
to claim her, but Death shows "no respect."'

'Death
and the Lady' - a broadside ballad
"DEATH..Fair lady, lay your costly robes aside.
No longer may you glory in your pride ;
Take leave of all your carnal vain delight,
I'm come to summons you away to-night...
Ta1k not of noon-you may as well be mute
This is no time at all for vain dispute;
Your riches, garments, gold . and jewels bright.
Your houses and lands must on new owners light..."
+ Commentary
:
"This ballad is structured as a dialogue between Death
and a woman, and is clearly intended for moral instruction.
The implication is that the woman has led an extravagant,
sinful life, and death has caught her before she has had
the chance to reflect and pursue a more Christian lifestyle.
The fact that this heavy-handed lesson is aimed specifically
at women illustrates the Calvinist, paternalistic, sometimes
misogynistic moral codes that prevailed in Scottish society
of the time..."

In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils." |

The Scroobious Pip by Edward Lear (1830-1888)
"Then all the beasts that walk on the ground
Danced in a circle round and round-
And all the birds that fly in the air
Flew round and round in a circle there,
And all the fish in the Jellybolee
Swum in a circle about the sea,
And all the insects that creep or go
Buzzed in a circle to and fro.
And they roared and sang and whistled and cried
Till the noise was heard from side to side-
Chippetty tip! Chippetty tip!
It’s only name is the Scroobious Pip."
