The Ballad standard epithet and the commonplace phrase, as well as frequent repetitions. Again, it cannot now be doubted, in the face of the mass of ethnological evidence, that the dancing-song preceded the development of the epic. The rhapsodists who presumably strung together the Homeric epic were mediators, it may be, between the " masterless " constituents and the artistic narrative, working in much the same way as Boccaccio when he compiled his Decameron from traditional tales. But coalition of the dramatic or mimetic spirit with the epic may take place at a far simpler and earlier stage. The ritual performance, i.e. the repetition of some dramatic fact, supplies nothing but a situation ; and in course of time the bare situation requires explaining. The folk were tired of dancing, but curious, and welcomed information and " reasons why." By way of illustration, let us conceive a picture of the first children primitive adults who ever played the game now known as " Nuts in May." The dancing throng had mimed, it may be, a fight between the champions of two armies, or had celebrated a marriage-by-capture, and several pairs of actors had struggled with or tugged one another to death or espousal amid the plaudits of their sides. Wearied of the game, they require rest and a yarn, and call upon the tribal historian, who proceeds to tell them all 32
The Ballad about the original champions or bridal pair. In some such guise, we may reasonably imagine, the first minstrel steps into the history of the ballad. 33
