Text Appearing Before Image: frida and Sir James of Perth is a very inferior composition.The story is similar to that of Sir James the Rose; and some lines are precisely thesame in both. There can be little doubt that the composition of Michael Brucewas imitated; and there is ample evidence that the act was not perpetrated by aScottishman. A stanza or two from Elfrida and Sir James of Perth will no doubtsatisfy the reader: it is a poor sample of a worthless whole: — For long he wood a tender lass, Elfrida of the Vale;An equal flame the lass betrayd, And heard his amorous tale. A piercing glance her eyes did shoot; And every heart engross ;Full many a lover hopeless sighd, And eike Sir John of Ross. In some copies the ballad is entitled Sir James the Ross. Mr. Pinkerton informsus that Rose is an ancient and honourable name in Scotland. Johannes de Rose is awitness to the famous Charter of Robert the Second, testifying his marriage withElizabeth More, as appears in the rare edition of it printed at Paris in 1695.
