'Swayne Vonved': a ballad translated from the Danish by George Borrow; [1830?]. Autograph fair copy, written on both sides of six leaves of pale grey laid paper formed by cutting folio leaves in half, and on one only of a seventh (f. 7). Watermarks '1830' under a name most of which has been cut away, and half of the figure of Britannia. The poem is numbered 'IX', and entitled as above. It consists of 71 stanzas each of four lines and refrain. The present MS. was probably written by Borrow for his projected 'Songs of Scandinavia', and differs in several places from the printed version found in Romantic Ballads, 1826. For the MS. of the earlier version see Ashley MS. 2376, ff. 73-80b. Ashley Library Catalogue, i, p. 38.
Quarto; ff. i+7.
