THE

LEGENDARY CABINET:

A COLLECTION OF

BRITISH NATIONAL BALLADS,

Ancient and Modern;

FROM THE BEST AUTHORITIES.

WITH NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS.

BY

John secure

THE REV. J. D., PARRY, M. A.

OF ST. PETER'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.

Call up him that left half-told

The story of Cambuscan bold;
Of Camball, and of Algarsife,
And who had Canace to wife,

That owned the virtuous ring and glass;

And of the wondrous horse of brass,

On which the Tartar king did ride:
And if aught else, great Bards beside,
In sage and solemn tunes, have sung,
Of turneys, and of trophies hung;
Of forests, and enchantments drear,
Where more is meant than meets the ear.

MILTON.-Il Penseroso.
