26 more: Twenty lovesick maidens we • Still brooding on their mad infatuation • I cannot tell what this love may be • The soldiers of our Queen — If you want a receipt for that popular mystery • In doleful train, two and two we walk • When I first put this uniform on • Am I alone and unobserved? • Long years ago, fourteen maybe • Prithee, pretty maiden • Let the merry cymbals sound • Now tell us, we pray you, why thus they array you • Your maiden hearts, ah, do not steel to pity's eloquent appeal • Come, walk up, and purchase with avidity • True love must single-hearted be • I hear the soft note of the echoing voice of an old, old love long dead • On such eyes as maidens cherish • Sad is that woman's lot • Turn, oh turn, in this direction • A magnet hung in a hardware shop • Love is a plaintive song • So go to him and say to him, with compliment ironical • It's clear that mediaeval art alone retains its zest • If Saphir I choose to marry • When I go out of door • I'm a Waterloo House young man • After much debate internal

URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

More information can be found here.
Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published before March 1, 1989, and was either first published in the United States, published in the United States within thirty days of its first publication abroad, or its author was a US citizen, and this publication occurred without a compliant copyright notice, and, if published in 1978 or later, the work did not have its copyright registered under a curing provision within five years of publication.
