This copy dates from my undergraduate days. My favourite is probably Corbet's "The Fairies' Farewell", but it is abridged. The full version with all nine verses took some tracking down online, but it is better because it gives a wider picture. Kipling of course used it for his second “Puck” book. Likewise, I prefer the Oxford Book of Ballads version of "Tam Lin", which again I found online.
