"borde' of the King and Miller, or Rauf Coilzear type, of a king's
adventures with one of his subjects; The Cokwolds Daunce, an Arthurian
tale to which reference has already been made (vol. 1, p. 464); The Thrush
and the Nightingale debate from the Digby MS, temp. Edw. I: 'Somer is

Debate of the Carpenter's Tools; Colyn Blowbols Testament, cf. The
Testament of Mr Andro Kennedy, by Dunbar, referred to on p. 256 of the
present volume; The Childe of Bristowe, one of the most beautiful of
legends of filial devotion, a tale of self-sacrifice, to save a covetous father
from the pains of purgatory, told with a direct simplicity that reveals the
audience to which it was probably addressed. When everything of his
father's illgotten wealth has been restored, and whatsoever else is left of
the inherited estate has been spent in alms and masses to relieve the pains
suffered by his father as revealed to him in fortnightly visions, the childe'
goes in quest of more money still to the 'maister' whose 'prentys' in
‘Bristow' he is, to sell himself as a slave:
myn owne body y wil selle to the,
for ever to be thy lad,
and the tale ends as an unsophisticated audience would wish it to end;
How the Wise Man taught his Son; How the Good Wife taught her
Daughter; How a Merchande dyd hys Wyfe Betray, or a Penniworth of
Wit (a tale of the testing of true and false love, c. 1335); A Mery Geste

love andyr colour of fyscheng and fowlyng'; The Batayle of Egynge-
courte; Adam Bel Clym of the Cloughe and Wyllyam of Cloudesle,
a ballad of the greenwood (see p. 408 of the present volume); together
with snndry other poems and The Nutbrowne Mayde.
Volume ili, among other pieces, contains The Debate and Stryfe
Betweene Somer and Wynter; The Tale of the Basyn, a popular, coarse
satire setting forth the unlucky adventures that happened to a priest and
his paramour by means of an enchanted 'basin'; A Mery Geste of the
Frere and the Boye, printed at London in Fletestrete at the sygne of the
sonne' by Wynkyn de Worde, about the year 1512 (Cambridge facsimile,
including the delightful woodcut, 1907), an amusing tale of enchantment,
popular in many forms, of 'a good sturdy ladde,' who became possessed
of a pipe the music of which caused beast and man to dance, even the
'frere set on by Jack's 'stepmoder' to beat him (cf. the version in the
Perey Folio MS, ed. Furnivall and Hales); The Turnament of Totenham
(referred to in vol. 1 of the present work, p. 366); A Mery Jest of Dane
Hew Monk of Leicestre, and how he was foure times slain and once
hanged; the Parlament of Byrdes; The smyth whych that forged hym
a new dame, a tale of magic, relating how a proud smith, emulating a
miracle of the Lord, who had re-made his 'old beldame' into a 'byrd
bright, so that she was
loveseme of chere,
Bright as blosome on brere,
None in Egypt her pere,
endeavoured to perform the same operation in the case of his wife. It is
a rough, comic tale, suited for a popular audience.
And volume iv contains The Hye Way to the Spyttel Hous and other
reprints of 16th century 'bokes,' to which reference will be made in
volume ill of this work.
