Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics Just before the battle, mother, I am thinking most of you, While upon the field we're watching With the enemy in view. Comrades brave are 'round me lying, Filled with thoughts of home and God For well they know that on the morrow, Some will sleep beneath the sod. CHORUS: Farewell, mother, you may never Press me to your heart again, But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother, If I'm numbered with the slain. Oh, I long to see you, mother, And the loving ones at home, But I'll never leave our banner, Till in honor I can come. Tell the traitors all around you That their cruel words we know, In every battle kill our soldiers By the help they give the foe. CHORUS: Farewell, mother, you may never Press me to your heart again, But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother, If I'm numbered with the slain. Hark! I hear the bugles sounding, 'Tis the signal for the fight, Now, may God protect us, mother, As He ever does the right. Hear the "Battle-Cry of Freedom," How it swells upon the air, Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard, Or we'll perish nobly there. CHORUS: Farewell, mother, you may never Press me to your heart again, But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother, If I'm numbered with the slain. Lyrics are in the public domain.

And will thy favors never lighter be? Wilt thou, I say, forever breed my pain? And wilt thou not restore my joys again? In vain I sigh, in vain I wail and weep, In vain my eyes refrain from quiet sleep; In vain I she'd my tears both night and day; In vain my love my sorrows do bewray. Then will I leave my love in Fortune's hands, My dearest love, in most unconstant bands, And only serve the sorrows due to me: Sorrow, hereafter, thou shalt my Mistress be. Ah, silly Soul art thou so sore afraid? Mourn not, my dear, nor be not so dismayed. Fortune cannot, with all her power and skill, Enforce my heart to think thee any ill. Live thou in bliss, and banish death to Hell; All careful thoughts see thou from thee expel: As thou dost wish, thy love agrees to be. For proof thereof, behold, I come to thee. Die not in fear, not live in discontent; Be thou not slain where blood was never meant; Revive again: to faint thou hast no need. The less afraid, the better thou shalt speed.

The tune appears in several early collections, including William Ballet's Lute Book (1593), Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (where the setting is by the famous English composer William Byrde {1528-1625}), and William Foster's Virginal Book (1624). It was licensed as a ballad in 1565-6 and is mentioned in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (Act II, Scene 3, where Falstaff says, "I see what thou wert, if Fortune thy foe were not, Nature thy friend."). In fact, various songs and ballads came to be sung to the tune, including an early ballad "Titus Andronicus Complaint," on which Shakespeare founded his play, and most of these songs seem to have been about themes of gloom, misery, and death; Chappell (1859) says "Indeed, its mournful character was so thoroughly established that none but the most lugubrious matter seems ever to have been sung to it." The tune appears as "Farewell, Fair Armelia" which appears in Luke Wadding's (the Bishop of Ferns) A Pious Garland of Godly Songs for the Solace of his Friends and Neighbors in their Afflictions, 1680. Early references, according to Flood, also date from 1649-50 from a "contemporary chronicle" which described Irish pipers attached to Lord Inchiquin's army which drew off from Naas to the march of "Fortune My Foe." In 1676 the tune (as it appears in Playford's Choice Airs and Songs) was used by Irishman Thomas Duffet for (one) setting of his lyric "Since Coelia's My Foe" (another setting is set to "Limerick's Lamentation"). "'Fortune My Foe' was sung and played so frequently at public executions that it became known as 'The Hanging Tune'...'Fortune My Foe' originated in Ireland. The setting written here is believed to be the earliest version" (Williamson, 1976, p.39). Sources: Flood, W, 1906, A History of Irish Music, Brown and Nolan Limited, Dublin, pp. 218-219.

The air was published in John Playford's English Dancing Master (London, 1651, and all subsequent editions), Thomas Robinson's Schoole of Musicke (1603), and D'Urfey's Pills to Purge Melancholy (1707). The original ballad, now lost, appears in the registers of the Stationers' Company as early as 1565-6. There are some similarities with the Welsh tune “Meillionen,” of more recent vintage. "Row Well Ye Mariners" was one of the country dance tunes recorded by the Victor band in 1915 at Camden, New Jersey, arranged by English folk song and dance collector Cecil Sharp, who was visiting America at the time. Sharp received "session supervisor" credits for the recording.

Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics Christmas is my name, Far have I gone, Have I gone, (have I gone,) Have I gone without regard. Whereas great men, By flocks there be flown, There be flown, (there be flown,) There be flown to London-ward. There they in pomp and in pleasure do waste That which Old Christmas was wont for to feast, Welladay, Welladay, Welladay, where should I stay? Houses where music was wont for to ring, Nothing but bats and owlets do sing, Welladay, Welladay, Welladay, where should I stay? Christmas dinner is turned into stones, Into stones and silken rags. And Lady Money sleeps and makes moans, And makes moans in miser's bags. Houses where pleasures once did abound Nought but a dog and a shepherd is found. Places that Christmas revels did keep Now have become habitations for sheep. Pan, the shepherd's god doth deface, Doth deface Mother Nature's crown. And the tillage doth go to decay, To decay in every town. Landlords their rents so highly enhance, Ploughman and family barefoot may dance. Farmers that Christmas would still entertain Scarce have enough themselves to maintain. Briefly, for to end, Here I do find, I do find so great disdain. Christmas feasting and dancing must wait For their season to come again. Yet winter the holly and doth give, Carols and wassails in memory do live, Welladay, Welladay, Welladay, so here I'll stay. Thus, where the Boar's Head and Yule Log have been, Christmas again will surely be seen, Welladay, Welladay, Welladay, so here I'll stay.

Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics Pray tell me, Mary, how it is that you can look so gay. When, evening after evening, your husband is away? I never see you sulk about, nor say an angry word, But still you've plenty cause for tears, if all be true I've heard. It is because, my sister dear, a husband you ne'er wed; To see your children gathering round asking you for bread. You ne'er can tell how it becomes a woman's lot through life, To be, e'en to a drunkard's life, a faithful, loving wife. But still I can recall the time when bitter tears I shed, . And when my husband staggered home, what angry words I said. I never thought I could be so cheerful as now I seem, Yet this happy change was brought about by a simple little dream. One eve as I sat waiting at our humble little cottage door. And listening for my husband's steps, as oft I've done before. Some wicked thoughts came in my head, and bitterly I said- I never wished to see him more, I would that he were dead. They say the wretched cannot rest, but sure it is not si, For very soon I fell asleep 'midst cares of grief and woe; I dreamt I had my wish fulfilled, my husband was no more, I fell upon his lifeless corpse, and kissed him o'er and o'er. Dearest darling, speak to me, I meant not what I said, O speak once more unto you" wife, say, say you are not dead. O sure I am not, Mary dear. I woke up with a scream, And found my husband standing by-his death was but a dream. Ever since that time, when I feel disposed to be unkind, The warning of that fearful dream comes fresh into my mind; Although it cost me many a pang to know the life he leads, I strive to greet him with a smile when oft my poor heart bleeds. I'll humbly put my trust in God, and ask for strength to bear The trials he has sent on earth for all of us to share; And if, by patience, I should change my husband's wandering life, He'll bless the hour that dream was sent to his neglected wife.

Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics Écoutez, peuples de France, Du royaume de Chili, Peuples de Russie aussi, Du cap de Bonne Espérance, Le mémorable accident D'un crime très conséquent. Capitale du Rouergue, Vieille ville de Rhodez, Tu vis de sanglants forfaits À quatre pas de L'Ambergue, Faits par des cœurs aussi durs Comme tes antiques murs. De très honnête lignée Vincent Bastide et Jausion, Pour la malédiction De cette ville indignée ; Car de Rodez les habitants Ont presque tous des sentiments. Bastide le gigantesque, Moins deux pouces ayant six pieds, Fut un scélérat fieffé Et même sans politesse, Et Jausion l'insidieux Sanguinaire, avaricieux. Ils méditent la ruine D'un magistral très prudent, Leur ami, leur confident ; Mais ne pensant pas le crime, II ne se méfiait pas Qu'on complotait son trépas. ... Listen, people of France, Of the kingdom of Chili People of Russia also, Of the Cape of Good Hope, To the memorable accident of a very important crime. Capital of Rouergue Old town of Rhodez You see the bloody crimes Four paces from the Ambergue Committed by hearts as hard As your ancient walls Bastide the giant Less than two inches under six feet Was an incorrigible villain Without even courtesy And the insidious Jausion Bloody, greedy. “Since without any good reason You are killing me, my friends, To die mercifully, Is for me impossible. Oh! Let me in this place Make my peace with God.” That terrifying giant Answered him roughly: “In a minute you can Make your peace with the Devil,” Then with a great blow He sliced him across the neck. ...

Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics 1. „Kommt her zu mir“, spricht Gottes Sohn, „All die ihr seid beschweret nun, Mit Sünden hart beladen, Ihr Jungen, Alten, Frau und Mann, Ich will euch geben, was ich han, Will heilen euren Schaden. 2. Mein Joch ist sanft, leicht meine Last, Und jeder, der sich willig faßt, Der wird der Höll entrinnen. Ich helf ihm tragen, was zu schwer; Mit meiner Hilf und Kraft wird er Das Himmelreich gewinnen.“ 3. Gern wollt die Welt auch selig sein, Wenn nur nicht wär die schwere Pein, Die alle Christen leiden. Nun aber kann's nicht anders sein; Darum ergeb sich nur darein, Wer ewig' Pein will meiden. 4. Heut ist der Mensch schön, jung und rank; Sieh, morgen ist er schwach und krank, Bald muß er auch gar sterben. Gleich wie die Blumen auf dem Feld, Also wird diese schöne Welt In allem Nu verderben. 5. Die Welt erzittert ob dem Tod; Liegt einer in der letzten Not, Dann will er gleich fromm werden. Einer schafft' dies, der andre das, Sein arme Seel er ganz vergaß, Dieweil er lebt' auf Erden. 6. Und wenn er nicht mehr leben kann, Hebt eine große Klag er an, Will sich nun Gott ergeben. Ich fürcht fürwahr, die göttlich Gnad, Die er allzeit verspottet hat, Wird schwerlich ob ihm scheben. 7. Dem Reichen hilft doch nicht sein Gut, Dem Jungen nicht ein stolzer Mut, Er muß aus diesem Maien; Wenn einer hätt die ganze Welt, Silber und Gold und alles Geld, Doch muß er an den Reihen*. 8. Dem G'lehrten hilft doch nicht sein Kunst; Die Weltlich Pracht ist gar umsonst: Wir müssen alle sterben. Wer sich in Christo nicht bereit', Weil er lebt in der Gnadenzeit, Ewig muß er verderben. 9. Höret und merkt, ihr lieben Kind, Die jetzo Gott ergeben sind: Laßt euch die Müh nicht reuen, Halt' fest am heilgen Gotteswort; Das ist eur Trost und höchster Hort, Gott wird euch schon erfreuen. 10. Und was der ewig gütig Gott In seinem Wort versprochen hat, Geschworn bei seinem Namen, Das hält und gibt er g'wiß fürwahr. Der helf uns zu der Engel Schar Durch Jesum Christum. Amen.

Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics Es ist nit lang, dass es geschach, dass man den lindenschmid reiten sach auf einem hohen rosse, Er reit den Rheinstrom auf und ab hat sein gar wol genossen, ja genossen. * »Frisch her, ir lieben gsellen mein! es muss sich nur gewaget sein, wagen das tut gewinnen! Wir wöllen reiten tag und nacht, bis wir ein beut gewinnen.« Dem marggrafen von Baden kamen neue mär, wie man im ins gleit gefallen wär, * das tet in ser verdrießen; Wie bald er junker Caspar schreib: er solt im ein reislein dienen. * Junker Caspar zog dem beurlein ein kappen an, * er schickt in allzeit vorne dran, wol auf die freie straßen: Ob er den edlen Lindenschmid fünd, denselben solt er verraten. Das beurlein schiffet über Rein, er keret zu Frankfurt ins wirtshaus ein: »wirt! haben wir nichts zu essen? Es kommen drei wägen, seind wol beladen, von Frankfurt aus der messen.« Der wirt der sprach dem beurlein zu: »ja wein und brot hab ich genug, im stall da sten drei rosse, Die seind dem edlen Lindenschmid, er nert sich auf freier straßen.« * Das beurlein dacht in seinem mut: die sache wird noch werden gut, die feind hab ich vernommen; Wie bald er junker Caspar schreib, dass er solt eilends kommen! Der Lindenschmid der het einen son, der solt den rossen das futter tun, den habern tet er schwingen: »Stet uf, herzliebster vatter mein! ich hör die harnisch klingen.« Der Lindenschmid lag hinterm tisch und schlief, sein son der tat so manchen rief, der schlaf hat in bezwungen. »Ste auf, herzliebster vatter mein, dein verräter ist schon kommen.« Junker Caspar zu der stuben eintrat, der Lindenschmid von herzen ser erschrack. »Lindenschmid gib dich gefangen! Zu Baden an dem galgen hoch, daran so soltu hangen.« Der Lindenschmid war ein freier reutersmann, wie bald er zu der klingen sprang: »wir wöllen erst ritterlich fechten!« Es waren der bluthund also vil, die schlugen in zu der erden. »Kan und mag es dann nit anders gesein, so bitt ich umb den liebsten sone mein, auch um meinen reutersjungen. Und haben sie jemands leid getan, darzu hab ich sie gezwungen.« Junker Caspar der sprach nein darzu: »das kalb muss entgelten der ku, es sol dir nicht gelingen, Zu Baden in der werden statt * muss im sein haupt abspringen.« Sie wurden alle drei gen Baden gebracht, sie saßen nit lenger denn eine nacht; wol zu derselben stunde. Da ward der Lindenschmid gericht, sein son und der reutersjunge, ja junge.

Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics 1 Es ist gewißlich an der Zeit, daß Gottes Sohn wird kommen in seiner großen Herrlichkeit, zu richten Bös und Frommen. Dann wird das Lachen werden theur, wenn Alles wird vergehn in Feur, wie Petrus davon schreibet. 2 Posaunen wird man hören gehn an aller Welt ihr Ende; darauf bald werden auferstehn all Todten gar behende. Die aber noch das Leben han, die wird der Herr von Stunden an verwandeln und verneuen. 3 Darnach wird man ablesen bald, ein Buch, darin geschrieben was alle Menschen, Jung und Alt. auf Erden hab'n getrieben. Da denn gewiß bald Jedermann wird hören, was er hat gethan in seinem ganzen Leben. 4 O weh demselben, welcher hat des Herren Wort verachtet und nur auf Erden früh und spat nach großem Gut getrachtet, Er wird führwahr gar kahl bestehn, und mit dem Satan müssen gehn von Christo in die Hölle. 5 O Jesu, hilf zu selben Zeit, von wegen deiner Wunden, daß ich im Buch der Seligkeit werd eingezeichnet funden. Daran ich denn auch zweifle nicht, denn du hast ja den Feind gericht't, und meine Schuld bezahlet. 6 Derhalben mein Fürsprecher sei, wenn du nun wirst erscheinen, und ließ mich aus dem Buche frei, darinnen stehn die Deinen, auf daß ich, sammt den Brüdern mein, mit dir geh in den Himmel ein, den du uns hast erworben. 7 O Jesu Christ, du machst es lang mit deinem jüngsten Tage, den Menschen wird auf Erden bang, von wegen vieler Plage; komm doch, komm doch, du Richter groß, und mach uns in Genaden los von allem Uebel.

Vertrau du deinem Herren Gott, Der alle Ding erschaffen hat. 2 Er kann und will dich lassen nicht, Er weiß gar wohl, was dir gebricht, Himmel und Erd ist sein! Dein Vater und dein Herre Gott, Der dir beisteht in aller Not. 3 Weil du mein Gott und Vater bist, Dein Kind wirst du verlassen nicht, Du väterliches Herz! Ich bin ein armer Erdenkloß, Auf Erden weiß ich keinen Trost. 4 Der Reiche bauet auf sein Gut; Ich will vertrauen auf Gottes Hut. Ob mich die Welt veracht', So glaub ich doch mit Zuversicht, Wer Gott vertraut, dem mangelt's nicht. 5 Helia , wer ernähret dich Da es so lange regnet nicht In so schwer theurer Zeit? Ein Wittwe aus Sidonier Land Zu welcher du von Gott warst gesandt. 6 Da er lag untr dem Wachholdrbaum Der Engel Gotts vom Himmel kam Und bracht ihm Speis undTranck Er gieng gar einen weiten Gang Bis zu dem Berg Horeb genannt. 7 Des Daniels Gott nicht vergaß Da er unter den Löwen saß Sein Engel sandt er hin Er ließ ihm Speise bringen gut Durch seinen Diener Habacuc. 8 Joseph in Egyptn verkauffet ward Vom König Pharao gefangen hart Umb sein Gottfürchtigkeit Gott macht ihn zu einn grossen Herrn Daß er kont Vatr und Brüdr ernehrn. 9 Es ließ auch nicht der treue Gott |Die drey Männr im Feur-Ofen roth Seinn Engel sandt er hin Bewahrt sie für des Feuers Glut Und halff ihnen aus aller Noth. 10 Ach Gott, du bist so reich noch heut'; Ob je du warst von Ewigkeit, Mein Trauen steht zu dir; Sei du nur meiner Seele Hort, So hab' ich Gnüge hier und dort. 11 Zeitlicher Ehr, ich gern entbehr', Des Ewigen mich nur gewähr, Das du erworben hast Durch deinen herben, bittern Tod; Das bitt ich dich, mein Herr und Gott. 12 Alles was ist auf dieser Welt, Es sei Gold, Silber oder Geld, Reichtum und zeitlich Gut, Das währt nur eine kleine Zeit Und hilft doch nichts zur Seligkeit. 13 Ich danke dir, Herr Jesu Christ, Dass mir das Kund geworden ist Durch dein wahrhaftig's Wort; Verleih mir auch Beständigkeit Zu meiner Seelen Seligkeit! 14 Lob, Ehr und Preis sei dir gebracht Für alles wie du mich bedacht. In Demut bitt' ich dich: Lass mich von deinem Angesicht Ewig verstossen werden nicht ! </div> <div style="width:45%;padding:0 10px 0 0;float:right;">1 Why are you afflicted, my heart, why are you full of care and enduring sorrow only for temporal possessions? Place your trust in your Lord God who has created everything. 2 He cannot and will not abandon you, he knows well what you lack, heaven and earth are his! Your father and your God. who stands beside you in all distress. 3 Since you are my God and father you will not abandon your child, you fatherly heart! I am a wretched clod of earth, on earth I know no consolation. 4 The rich man builds on his goods; I shall trust in God’s care. Although the world scorns me, I believe with confidence, who trusts in God will lack nothing. 5 Elias,who feeds you when there is no rain for so long in time of such hard famine? A widow from Sidon to whom you were sent by God. 6 As he lay beneath a juniper tree God’s angel came from heaven and brought him food and drink. He went on a long jouirney to the mountain named Horeb. 7 God did not forget Daniel as he sat among the lions. He sent his angel down, he had good food brought to him by his servant Habakuk. 8 Joseph was sold into Egypt, imprisoned by Pharaoh the king For his reverence for God God made him a grerat lord so that he could feed his father ad brothers. 9 The faithful God also did not forsake the three men in the burning fiery furnace, he sent down his angel, protected them from the fire’s heat and helped them in all distress. 10 Ah God, you are as rich today as you were from eternity, my trust stands by you; be the only refuge of my soul, then I have enough here and hereafter. 11 Temporal glory I happily do without, only grant that I may share the eternal glory that you have gained by your harsh, bitter death; for this I ask you, my Lord and God. 12 Everything that in this world, whether it is gold, silver or money, wealth or temporal possessions, lasts only a short time and is of no help for blessedness. 13 I thank you , Lord Jesus Christ, for what has been revealed to me through your truthful word; bestow constancy also on me for the blessedness of my soul! 14 Praise, glory and honour be given to you for all your consideration for me. In humility I ask you: let me never from your face be driven away. </div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> About: Johann Sebastian Bach composed the church cantata Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz (Why do you trouble yourself, my heart), in Leipzig for the 15th Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 5 September 1723.

Title A name given to the resource Terza Rima Description An account of the resource The literal translation of terza rima from Italian is 'third rhyme'. Terza rima is a three-line stanza using chain rhyme in the pattern a-b-a, b-c-b, c-d-c, d-e-d. There is no limit to the number of lines, but poems or sections of poems written in terza rima end with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet. The two possible endings for the example above are d-e-d, e or d-e-d, e-e. There is no set rhythm for terza rima, but in English, iambic pentameter is generally preferred. The terza rima form was invented by Dante Alighieri for the Commedia (The Divine Comedy, ca. 1304–1321), using the hendecasyllabic (eleven-syllable) line common to Italian poetry. <a href="https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/terza-rima-poetic-term" target="_blank">© Academy of American Poets</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dante Alighieri (Italian) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Late 13th Century https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/execution-ballads/files/original/7e1d5ae44e87c4e590ad72caca313da9.png 42ddbbd36819889436a18e9d6cfe1fef https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/execution-ballads/files/original/1418697dc71192131afd42a837e97708.png a5b489a76b6136bb30dddd93a317be91 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

AKA – "Huff Hannekin." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). C Mixolydian (Chappell, Merryweather, Raven): G Major (Barnes, Sharp). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABAB (Sharp): ABC (Chappell): AAB (Barnes): AABB (Merryweather, Raven). The tune was first published by John Playford in his English Dancing Master of 1650-51, though Chappell (1859) finds the air mentioned in Sir H. Herbert's office-book of revels and plays performed at Whitehall during the Christmas season, 1622–23. Confirming that the tune is older than Playford is a recorded mention that on Sunday, Jan. 19th, 1623, Ben Jonson's masque Time Vindicated was performed, and: The Prince did lead the measures with the French Ambassador's wife... the measures, braules, corrantos, and galliards, being ended, the masquers, with the ladies, did daunce two countrey dances, namely, 'The Soldier's Marche' and 'Huff Hammukin.' The title “Halfe Hannikin” is possibly a corruption of honig-huchen, or ‘sweet cake’, adopted into English along with other German and Dutch words in the 16th century. Alternatively, ‘Hannikin’ may possibly derive from honniken, used in Thomas Dekker’s The Shoemaker’s Holiday(1599, Act IV, sc. 5), used to mean a ‘stupid fellow’ or ‘needy fellow’ [Wells, “Playford Tunes and Broadside Ballads,” Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, vol. 3, no. 4 (Dec. 1939), pp. 259–273]. Graham Christian (2015) says "Hankin, Hannikin, Mamukin, Hanskin, and Hansken were all variants of a name of Dutch origin meaning "Little John" or "son of John" (Jo-hannes-kin), and in England it became a teasing name for a fool or clown, sometimesas "Hankin Booby"." He concludes that "Hankin [Hannikin] Booby" may have been the name of the dance or tune or both, and believes the first word of the title ('halfe') is a form of "huff", which at that time meant to swagger. Thus the instead of a half- of something, the complete title meant to 'swagger like a buffoon', fitting with the dance which is "an unusal single mixer throwing all the dancers into one merry brew together" [Christian, A Playford Assembly, 2015, p. 43].
