EDWARD, EDWARD. After Percy, the ballad having made its first appearance in the Reliques. Motherwell gives an interesting version, in which the murderer, who in this case has slain his brother, is addressed as Son Davie. There are German, Swedish, Danish and Finish equivalents. The old orthography, which is retained here for its literary interest, cannot obscure the tragic power of the ballad. Frie, free. Dule ye drie, grief ye suffer. Tul, till.
