The End of Sivard Snarenswayne. [Young Sivard he his step-sire slew] The two Manuscripts, belonging to the years 1829 and 1854 respectively, of this ballad exhibit very numerous differences of text. As a brief, but sufficient, example I give the second stanza as it occurs in each: 1829 It was Sivard Snareswayne [sic]
To his mother’s presence hied:
“Say, shall I go from thee on foot,
Or, tell me, shall I ride?” 1854 It was Sivard Snarenswayne
To his mother’s presence strode:
“Say, shall I ride from hence?” he cried,
“Or wend on foot my road?” 		14
