CHEVY CHASE.
Tlie olJ and popular ballad of Chevy Chine,
which we hovt given Mow, was thought worthy
of a critique in the 8jctator, by A JJinon ; see
Sct.No8.70nnl74. He says: "The old song
of Chevy Chase u the favorite ballad of the co
mon people of England, and Ben. Jonson used to
sny bo had lather have been the author of it than of
all bin works. . 8ir Philip Sidney in his discourse
of portly, sneaks of it in the following words: 1
never heard the old song of Percy and Douglas,
that I found not my heart mora moved than with
a 'trumpet ; and yet it ia sung by some blind crow-

that uncivil age, what would it work trimmed in

Then Douglas swore a solemn oath,
And thus in rage did say :
" Ere thus I will outbraved be,
One of us two shall die :
I know thee well ; an earl thou art,
Lord Percy: so am I.
But trust me, IJprcy, pity it were,
And great offence, to kill
Any of these our harmless men,
For they have done no ill.
" Let thou and I the battle try,

Then step'd a gallant squire forth,

For Witherington needs must I wail,
As' one in doleful dumps;
For, when his legs were smitten off,
He fought upon his stumps.
And with earl Douglas there was slain
Sir Hugh Montgomery;
Sir Charles Currel, that from the field
One foot would never fly;
Sir Charles Murrel of Ratcliff too,
His sister's son was he:
Sir David Lamb, so well cstccmd,
Yet saved could not be.
And the lord Maxwell, in likewise,
- Did with earl Douglas die:
Of twenty hundred JScottish spears,
Scaree'fifty five did fly.
Of fifteen hundred Englishmen,
Went home but fifty three;
The rest were slain in Chevy Chase,
Under the gum-wood tree.
Next day did many widows come,
Their husbands to bewail;
They wash'd their wounds in brinish tears, '
nut art would not prevail.
Their bodies, bathed in purple bloody
- They bore with them away;
They kiss'd thein dead a thousand times,
When they were clad in clay.
This news was brought to Edinburgh,
Where Scotland's king did reign,
That brave earl Douglas suddenly
Was with an arrow, slaia.

" Scotland can witness be,
