"They had not sailed another league,
A league but barely three,
When she espied his cloven foot
And wept most bitterly.

"'Oh hold your tongue, my love,' he cried.
'Why weep you so mournfully?
I said I would show you the lilies growing
On the banks of fair Italy.'"

- "The Daemon Lover" (British Ballad)
🎨 Charles Vess

"All hail, thou mighty Queen of Heaven!
For thy peer on Earth I never did see."

"Oh no, oh no, Thomas," she said,
"That name does not belong to me.
I am but the queen of fair Elfland,
That am hither come to visit thee."

- "Thomas the Rhymer" (Scottish ballad)
🎨 Charles Vess

In medieval bestiaries, the lion is one of the few animals that hunt unicorns; the two animals hate each other. This is frequently thought of as a solar-lunar battle, as lions are often linked to the sun in iconography while unicorns are often linked to the moon.

"The Queen of Fairies she caught me,
In yon green hill to dwell.
And pleasant is the fairy land,
But, an eerie tale to tell,
Aye, at the end of seven years,
We pay a tithe to Hell.
I am so fair and full of flesh,
I'm feared it be mysel'."
- "Tam Lin" (Scottish ballad)
🎨 Charles Vess
