5 With kisses sweet their red lips meet, For shee and the earl did agree; In every place, they kindly imbrace, With love and sweet unity. WITH KISSES SWEET THEIR RED LIPS MEET FOR SHE AND THE EARL DID AGREE IN EVERY PLACE THEY KINDLY EMBRACE WITH LOVE AND SWEET UNITY
, I have posted a review of the The Forestwife, a young adult novel that focuses on Marian and gives the character a new purpose. This site also features interviews with Theresa Tomlinson, author of the Forestwife trilogy, and Elsa Watson, author of Maid Marian. See an image of an original edition of this ballad at the Broadside Ballads Online website hosted by the University of Oxford's Bodleian Libraries. Ballad 1 A bonny fine maid of a noble degree, With a hey down down a down down Maid Marian calld by name, Did live in the North, of excellent worth, For she was a gallant dame. 2 For favour and face, and beauty most rare, Queen Hellen shee did excell; For Marian then was praisd of all men That did in the country dwell. 3 'Twas neither Rosamond nor Jane Shore, Whose beauty was clear and bright, That could surpass this country lass, Beloved of lord and knight. 4 The Earl of Huntington, nobly born, That came of noble blood, To Marian went, with a good intent, By the name of Robin Hood.
