Footnotes

This lullaby is is taken from a collection (MS. Eng. poet. b. 5.) of Catholic verse, hymns and carols made in an old account book in penal times in about the year 1650. It includes some of Blessed Robert Southwell's poems two of which appear in only one other MS. Amidst a great deal of doggerel, a few poems on our Lady in euphemistic style are worth quoting. There are in addition some Catholic ballads which also appear in a British Museum Catholic collection, MS. Addit. 15,225 (published by Rollins in Old English Ballads).
