CHEVY CHASE.1 Gon prosper long our noble King, A woeful hunting once there did To drive the deer with hound and horn The child may rue that is unborn The hunting of that day! The stout Earl of Northumberland The chiefest harts in Chevy Chase 1 This famous ballad was written probably during the fif Leenth century. It may refer to the battle of Pepperden, fought n 1436, between the Earl of Northumberland and the Earl Douglas of Angus, but this is uncertain. The Percies and the Douglas family were always coming in conflict, and this ballad is the great epic of the continual warfare which was waged for centuries on the English and Scottish border. The version given here is from Bishop Percy's Folio MSS., vol. ii., p. 7. |
