(Thomas James) Ermeline : $b a ballad Ermeline -- The cuckoo's song in Merion. Transcribed from the 1913 Thomas J. Wise pamphlet by David Price "Ermeline: A Ballad" by George Borrow and Thomas James Wise is a narrative poem that was likely written in the early 20th century. This book can be categorized as a ballad, a poetic form that tells a story, often featuring themes of love, adventure, and the supernatural. The poem explores the romantic and fantastical tale of Sir Thunye, a knight who becomes entangled in the life of the Dwarf’s daughter and eventually embarks on a quest to rescue a maiden named Ermeline, who is held captive by a king. The story begins with Sir Thunye encountering the Dwarf's daughter while hunting in a lush forest. Despite her affections, she reveals her impending marriage to the King of the Dwarfs. Sir Thunye's love for Ermeline drives him to challenge her captor, culminating in a series of battles against formidable foes. After triumphing over the challenges, including defeating the Dwarf and a fierce competition with Allevod, the son of the King, he eventually rescues Ermeline from her captivity. The ballad concludes with their joyous reunion and the establishment of Sir Thunye as a respected ruler in England, celebrated for his chivalry and bravery. Thus, the text captures themes of valor, love, and the intertwining of fate and destiny in a richly detailed narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
