Transcriber's Notes:
1. Footnotes have been relocated following the paragraph or section where the anchor occurs.
2. Linenotes have been grouped at the end of each ballad. Ballad line numbers have been regularised to multiples of five and re-positioned or added where necessary.
3. Modern Greek text in "Constantine and Arete" has been transliterated using the same scheme as for ancient Greek.
4. Archaic, unusual and inconsistent spelling or punctuation has generally been retained as in the original. Where changes have been made to the text these are listed in Transcriber's Notes at the end of the book.

Sum of joie and mirthe also;
And sum of trecherie and of gile,
Of old aventours that fel while;
And sum of bourdes and ribaudy;
And many ther beth of fairy;
Of all thinges that men seth;—
Maist o love forsothe thai beth.
