Answer to Question 1


  • Lines 2930: The nobles are loath to get their fine shoes wet. Probably the poet w asnt a noble, but a sarcastic commoner.



In the famous image of the slim new moon, W. D. Snodgrass finds visual reminders of the kings golden crown and of the gold combs in the ladies hair. For him, withering scorn for the Scottish lords afraid to dampen their fancy French pumps comes naturally to the singer, who probably went barefoot for much of his life. And he concludes: This ballad, at least partly because of its scorn for the ignorant court, seems superbly successful in recognizing a more genuine nobility. Not that I need agree with its values: personally, Id prefer (though not expect to find) a captain with more loyalty to his men than to king and office. Yet while the song lasts, I partake of the Scottish singers world, and am broadened by entrance to anothers experience, anothers values. See Shapes Merging and Emerging, Shenandoah (Winter 1991): 5883.

Answer to Question 2


  • He is not only brave and loyal to obey the kings order; he is a passionate man with quick, open, unconcealed feelings.
