Description/Remarks
LL-VG439 SATB "The
Bailiff's Daughter of Islington" by Paul
Halley, is number IV in the six-song cycle 'Love
Songs For Springtime', composed 1986 for the Ottawa Choral Society, Brian Law, director.
The works in the song cycle are the settings of
traditional English folk texts and each song
describes a different perspective on love. 'The
Bailiff's Daughter' relates a romantic tale of
mistaken identity and near-heartbreak between a
lovelorn young squire and the bailiff of Islington's
beautiful daughter. Inherent class differences seem
destined to keep the lovers apart, and even
well-meaning friends try to divert the course of
true love. But, a happy ending brings the tale to a
close as the lovers are united. Text anon.
Commissioned 1986 by the Ottawa Choral Society,
Brian Law, director.

Texts
The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington
from 'Love Songs
for Springtime'
Text: Traditional English
Music: Paul Halley
There was a youth, and a well-loved youth,
And he was an esquire’s
son;
He loved the bailiff’s daughter dear
That
lived in Islington.
But,
she was coy, and she would not believe
That he did love her so,
No, nor at any time she would
Any countenance to him show.
But when his friends did understand
His fond and foolish mind,
They sent him up to fair London,
An apprentice for to bind.
And when he had been sev’n long years,
His love he had not seen;
‘Many a tear have I shed for her sake,
When she little thought of me.’
All the maids of Islington
Went forth to sport and play;
All but the bailiff's daughter dear;
She secretly stole away.
She put off her gown of grey,
And put on her puggish attire;
She
is up to fair London gone
Her true love to require.
As she went along the road,
The weather was hot and dry,
There was she aware of her true-love,
At length came riding by.
She stept to him as red as a rose,
And took him by the bridle ring:
‘I pray you, kind sir, give me one penny,
To ease my weary limb.’
‘I prithee, sweetheart, canst thou tell me
Where
that thou wast born?’
‘At Islington, kind sir,’
said she,
‘Where I’ve had many a scorn.’
‘I prithee, sweetheart, canst thou tell me
Whether thou dost know
The bailiff’s daughter of
Islington?’
‘She's dead, sir, long ago.’
‘Then will I sell my goodly steed,
My saddle and my bow;
I will
into some far country,
Where no man doth me know.’
‘Oh stay, Oh stay, thou goodly youth!
She's alive, she is not dead;
Here she standeth by thy side,
And is ready to be thy bride!’
‘O farewell grief, and welcome joy,
Ten thousand times and o’er!
For now I have seen my own true-love
That I thought I should see no more
