A further explanation of the categorization of the Bold Soldier family of ballads can viewed in Richard Matteson's BluegrassMessengers site. Go to the tab Child Ballads 7A(Appendix) - Lady and the Dragoon.

Basically, "The Master-piece of Love-Songs" (1695) is a rewrite of "The Seaman's Renown in winning his fair lady" (1670).
