Gummere, The Beginnings of Poetry (1901), especially ch. V.
2 A. Lang, in Ward's Poets, I. P. 103.
16 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY Apart from the complete folk tale there are incidents and machines that may be taken freely by the ballad poet and employed in his own way. Lately (by Serendipity) I came upon an example. Dr. Axel Olrik, in a paper in Danske Studier, 1 on the old Northern ball-game, has put together a number of ballads which use in one way or other the incident of the boy who
...plays roughly, and is told by his com- panions to go and avenge his father. In Irish, this is part of the story of Maelduin. There are four Norwegian examples, five Faroese, two or three Danish.
Child Sigurd (Sigur svein) goes to the playing-field where the King's small boys are playing at the ball, and he plays them to rights; he struck one under the ear so that they laughed at him. Sigurd struck with the ball (he was stout of growth), sore hurt were the King's boys, and the blood springs out on the earth.
