'IN a May morning as I was walking
I heard two Lovers together talking...'
This one is from @EBBA_Ballads, published 1674-1679.

There is also a version called "The Protestant Court of England" on @EBBA_Ballads ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad…
A great broadside poem, as Dr Davis says, full of linguistic gold!
This is an image of a copy of a slight edition variant held @britishlibrary estc.bl.uk/R226810 (there are two printed in London and one in Edinburgh)
Those owning copies at the time must have treasured them!
ALT A broadside poem called ‘The Court of England, or the preparation for the happy coronation of king William and queen Mary’ which contains verses spoken by English, Scots, Welsh and others and mimics the dialect.

On thinking through ballads as memes, I'm always indebted to @katiesisneros 's great piece, here: publicdomainreview.org/essay…
And @EBBA_Ballads is amazing always, but their new woodcut search feature is truly a game changer!
Happy #EarthDay from EBBA! As we think about the enduring beauty of nature, and how we can better protect its future, enjoy this image from the archive: “The pritty Birds then fill'd with pain,/ Did to each other thus complain…” (EBBA ID 21928). #ebbafinds #digitalhumanities
Just in time for spring & #WomensHistoryMonth, we bring to you the ballad "A Womans Work is never done," a song to sing "Both in the Winter and the Spring; It is such a pretty conceited thing, Which will much pleasure to them bring" (EBBA 30355): ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad… #EBBAfind
Another fantastic #EBBAfind to teach with!
"Rocke the Babie Joane: / OR, / Iohn his Petition to his louing Wife Ioane, / To suckle the Babe that was none of her owne." (EBBA ID 20184) ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad…
