Subject: RE: BS: Quiz - Early Ballads
None survived on ballad sheets. Two, from their first lines, were evidently expansions of songs in Totel's Miscellany. Two are known from manuscript copies (ZN3380 and ZN3297 in the broadside ballad index at www.erols.com/olsonw). No others are known. J. P. Collier used a few of these titles for his forgeries. "Thomalin" is probably that now called "Brian O'Lynn", not "Tam Lin", as we have evidence for it from the 16th century.

Only one ballad sheet issued by Wallys and Toye is extant, ZN3475 in the broadside ballad index, and it isn't one of the above.
