The Roxburghe ballads . rd about he past;At Rowland he kickd and grins, and h[it] William ore the shins;He takes not any offence, but fleeres upon his riper he playd [a] Fadding, and they ran all a gadding. With oh ! brave Arthur [o Bradley ! oh, rare Arthur o Bradley ! 112 Oh, rare Arthur o Bradley, Arthur o Bradley, Oh.] [This earliest-known version was not mentioned by John Payne Collier, who,c. 1865-68, reprinted An Antidote against Melancholy in his Blue he nor William Chappeli knew of any versions earlier than the 1661, of Saw ye not Pierce the Piper ? We add it here from the Antidote, insteadof from Merry Drollery of the same date. It tells nothing of the Courtship, andis quite distinct from our p. 314 text. We believe the who collected the Antidote Songs, was no other than[Ke]N[ry Playfor]D, dwelling near the Temple Church, son of John Playford,music publisher, and elder brother of another John Playford. [This quaint cut belongs to many ballads, pp. 135, 265, 329, etc.]. 317 Clje BallaD of Arthur of BraMep. {The Antidote against Melancholy version, 1661.)
