The Hawthorne tree ballad is also on my website (unexpurgated, and probably by George Peele). Also there is my theory that Sidanen was the Fair Lady of Sinadon in the metrical tale or ballad of Libius Disconius (Percy Folio MS). The dwarf in this in not named Dargason, however. I suspect Gifford saw some different version of the tale. The tale takes place in Northern Wales, and it's just possible that Snowden came from Sinadon. How about it, you Cymri out there? Where did the name Snowden come from? Somewhere I think I have a note of the tune being played at Christmas time in Wales in the late 16th century.

Incidently, Sedanny is the primary, not secondary, name of the tune in the 1st edition of 'The Dancing Master'. The tune was also known as that for the "Baldwin Song" on the Isle of Man.
