'The Sword', 'Ye Youths and Ye Maidens Hark Chanticleer Cries' and 'An impromtu' [sic]: three poems by George Borrow; circa 1830. Ashley Library Catalogue, ix, pp. 14-15.
Autograph fair copies, that of 'The Sword' written on the recto and those of 'Ye Youths' and 'An Impromptu' on the verso of the same fragment of white laid paper, 200 x 80mm. No watermark. 'The Sword' and 'An Impromtu [sic]' are thus entitled in Borrow's hand. 'The Sword' is printed, inaccurately, in T. J. Wise, A Bibliography of the Writings of G. H. Borrow, 1914, pp. xvii-xviii, and in The Works of George Borrow, ix, 1923, pp. 243-244, and 'An Impromptu', with a difference in l. 16, in The Works, ix, p. 255. 'Ye Youths' is evidently a stanza from the same poem as three stanzas printed, with the title 'Threshing Song', in The Works, ix, pp. 10-11.
