This Ballad differs entirely from those which appeared, under the title The Hail-Storm only, in Romantic Ballads, 1826, pp. 136–138, in Targum, 1835, pp. 42–43, and in Young Swaigder or The Force of Runes and Other Ballads, 1913, pp. 14–15. Each of these three versions consists of four eight-line stanzas; the present Ballad extends to 84 lines, arranged in irregular stanzas.
