Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 2 This ballad and the two which follow it are clearly not of the same use, and not meant for the same ears, as those which go before. They would come down by professional rather than by domestic tradition, through minstrels rather than knitters and weavers. They suit the hall better than the bower, the tavern or public square better than the cottage, and would not go to the Spinning-wheel at all. An exceedingly good piece of minstrelsy The Boy and the Mantle' is, too; much livelier than most of the numerous variations on the somewhat overhandled theme.

Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 10 P. 300. I have serious doubts whether this Offensive ballad has not been made too important; whether, not withstanding the points noted at p. 301, it is anything more than a variety of The Queen of all Sluts.'
