Old Ballads of War, Adventure, and Love, from Bishop Thomas (p. 183)
Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry.--_Title-page._
But, passing far beyond the plans of these small antiquarian
pleasures, Percy's book immediately enriched our whole ordinary
existence by making common property of those golden figures which
the undying ballad-maker had enameled into the solid tissue of
English life.... Each ballad is given here exactly as it stands
in the original except that the spelling has been modernized and
such parts cut away as cleanliness required.--_Introduction._

The worth of the masterpieces of any art increases with use and
familiarity of association. They grow fresher by custom; and the
love of them deepens in proportion to the time we have known
them, and to the memories with which they have become
invested.--_Preface._
