Ancient Scottish ballads, recovered from tradition, and never before ...

LORD HENRY
AND LADY ELLENORE.
The Editor is assured that this ballad, though ap-
parently ofa modern cast, is of considerable antiquity.
It is given from the recitation of a lady who learned it
forty years ago, from a very old woman, who in her
turn, had it from tradition.
Lady Ellenore and Lord Henry
Liv'd in the North countrie,
And they hae pledg'd their faith and troth
That wedded they would be.
Her father was a baron bauld,
Her brother a valiant knicht,
