— 64 MINSTRELSY OF KIT^G HENRIE. THE ANCIENT COPY. This ballad is edited from the MS. of Mrs Brown, corrected by a recited fragment. A modernized copy has been published, under the title of " Courteous King " Jamie." Talcs of Wonder, vol. II. p. 451. The legend will remind the reader of the " Marriage " of Sir Gawain," in the Reliqiics of Ancient Poetry, and of " The Wife of Bath's Tale," in Father Chaucer. But the original, as appears from the following quotation ' from Torfceus, is to be found in an Icelandic Saga . " Hellgius, Rex Daniw, mcerore of) omissam conjugcm '' vexatus, solus agebat,et suhducens sehominum commerch, " segregcmd(y>num,ommsfamvlitu impatie7ts,i?icolcbat.
