Nel famoso manoscritto del Percy (il Percy Folio probabilmente seicentesco), le ballate che vi sono contenute a volte non hanno un titolo ben preciso.

I thought making a record of this in song would accompany the suffering those children will endure on a daily basis for a long time to come…"
Let our children go to school, you've broken every human rule (continuer)

Well it's hard to plan too far ahead in a world that's less alive than dead (continuer)
