" They took her up behind them then Follow, my love, come over the strand, And brought her to her father again, 135 And he the good Earl of Northumberland.
All you fair maidens be warned by me, Follow, my love, come over the strand, Scots never were true, nor never will be, To lord, nor lady, nor fair England. No GENTLE HERDSMAN, TELL TO ME.
From Religues of Ancient English Poetry, ii. 82.
" THE scene of this beautiful old ballad is laid near Walsingham, in Norfolk, where was anciently an image... of the Virgin Mary, famous over all Europe for the numerous pilgrimages made to it, and the great riches it possessed. Erasmus has given a very exact and humorous description of the superstitions practised there in his time. See his account of the Virgo Parathalassia, in his colloquy entitled, Pere- grinatio Religionis Ergo. He tells us, the rich offer ings in silver, gold, and precious stones that were there shown him were incredible, there being scarce a person of any note in England, but what some time or other paid a visit or sent a present to Our Lady of Walsingham.
