Excerpt from The Suffolk Garland: Or a Collection of Poems, Songs, Tales, Ballads, Sonnets, and Elegies, Legendary and Romantic, Historical and Descriptive, Relative to That County "An ordinary song or ballad, that is the delight of the common people, cannot fail to please all such readers as are not unqualified for the entertainment by their affectation or ignorance; and the reason is plain, because the same paintings of nature, which recommend it to the most ordinary reader, will appear beautiful to the most refined. "I took a particular delight in hearing the songs and fables that are come from father to son, and are most in vogue among the common people: for it is impossible that any thing should be universally tasted and approved of by a multitude, which hath not in it some peculiar aptness to please and gratify the mind of man."
