Excerpt from The Childe of Bristow: A Poem
Beyond this notice I know of no other evidence to establish either the date of the poem or its writer, although its simplicity and beauty would not have been unworthy of the author of the Canterbury Tales, or that voluminous poetaster Dan* John.
The story itself would not appear to be an original idea of the poet, for he says, I found it written in olde hand.
