Thread Name: BS: Quiz - Early Ballads
Subject: RE: BS: Quiz - Early Ballads
When raging love, In winter's just return, and If care does cause man cry, are first lines of poems in Tottel's Miscellany.

Nerd, the situation is even worse than you note, because in the 16th century many pieces with ballad/ballet in their titles weren't meant to be sung. They were poems.
