Packington's Pound : ウィキペディア英語版 | Packington's Pound
Packington's Pound is an English Broadside ballad that dates back, roughly, to the last quarter of the 17th century. It is most recognized by its tune, and, in fact, more tunes were set to "Packington's Pound" than ballads named "Packington's Pound."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ebba.english.ucsb.edu/search_combined/?ss=packington%27s+pound )〕 Claude Simpson in "The British Broadside Ballad and its Music" writes: "This (Pound ) is the most popular single tune associated with ballads before 1700." Extant copies of the ballad can be found at the Huntington Library, the Pepys Library,and the National Library of Scotland. == Synopsis ==
Due to the tune's overwhelming popularity, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific plot about which the ballad centers. Instead, because of this ubiquity, the tune was readily applied to countless other ballads with myriad themes. The ballad form of "Packington's Pound," on the other hand, is most often assembled in eight stanzas of nine lines, though it is not a Spenserian stanza or a Balassi Stanza with an A,A,B,B,C,C,C,D,D, rhyme scheme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ebba.english.ucsb.edu/search_combined/?ss=packington%27s+pound )〕
