Many thanks to Chris Jordan for transcribing the music scores on pages [94] and [319-320] into digital form.
Pages 94-96: [The Dumb Maid] is a traditional folk song, and lyrics for a number of variants are on the World Wide Web under this title and others, including The Young Gallant Trappan'd, There Was a Country Blade, The Dumb Wife, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, and The Dumb Wife's Tongue let Loose. An audio recording of a variant made during The John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip is available in AFC 1939/001: AFS 02590b01 DLC-AFC American Folklife Center, Library of Congress under the title There Was a Country Blade. The notes on the page 94 score are too high for a male singer, who would probably sing this an octave or more lower.
Pages 319-320: [The music score] is for the first verse of Belle Qui Tiens Ma Vie by Thoinot Arbeau (1520-1595). Numerous performances of this are available on the World Wide Web, as well as lyrics for all the verses, including translations into modern English. The spelling for some words in the lyrics varies among different sources.
Punctuation has been made consistent.
Variations in spelling and hyphenation were retained as they appear in the original publication, except as noted below.
Changes have been made as follows:
Page 34: ["t'is" changed to "'tis]" (breath; "'tis time)
Page 344: ["non-commital" changed to "non-committal"] (a non-committal smile)
