1t has been close to century since the
Trelawny ballad, generally known by the
title, "And Shall Trelawny Die?' or
Song of the Cornishmen.'' first made its
appearance, and brought out a. discussion
that covered a number of years. 1t is
usually credited to Robert Stephen Hawk
er, but there has been written great
amount of comment as 10 whether the
ballad was altogether Hawker's, or
whether he worked on some traditional
verses. The indisputable facts Of the
case, as far as they are known at pres
ent, are as follows:
The poem made its first appearance in
the Royal Davenport Telegraph and Ply
mouth Chronicle" England, in the issue
of that paper. for September 2, 1876 The
poem was headed Ballad written at the
time one Of the Trelawny family was
committed to the Tower, during the
reign of James II. The circumstances
described in it are historically true. "
Though the ballad was printed anony-
mously, the name of the writer was as
certained by the distinguished Cornish
antiquary, Mr.. Davies Gilbert, and be-
ing greatly struck with the verses, he
printed on some fifty copies, in broad
side form. at his private press at East
bourne. Very few Of these broadsides
seem TO have survived. but from one of
them is transcribed the following head
ing, with all its eccentricities of pune
tuation, &C.:
"AND SHALL TRELAwNY DEF
'HThe Strong Sensation excited through
out England, by that decisive act of Big
otry. Tyranny and Imprudence on the
part of King James the second, by which
he committed the Seven Bishops to the
Tower, was in no district more manifest
ly displayed than in Cornwall; notwith-
standing the part taken by that county
in the preceding Civil War. This was
probably, in great degree. occasioned
by sympathy with a most respected Cor
nish Gentleman, then Bishop OF Bristol;
as appears, from the following Song,
restored. modernfzed and improved by
Robert Stephen tsic) Hawker. Esq, of
Whitstone This song is said to have
in every House, in every High
Way. and IN every Street"
Mr.. Gilbert also communicated the bal
lad to the Gentlemen's Magazine for
November. 1877. where 1t was published
anonymously and attracted the notice OF
Sir Walter Scott In 1855 Mr. Gilbert
printed It In his -Parochial History Of
from which an extract con-
tanning the verses was given In Cham
bers Book Of Day, 1854
In 1852 Mr., Hawker, who had been or
dained IN 1879. published 3 small volume
Of poems called Records Of the Western
Shore in which he inserted the ballad
under the title OF The Song Of the
Western Men. ana publicly avowed HIM
seltsto be the author Mr.. Hawker's ex-
planation was as follows
