Reprints:
- "Ballad" — early 1837 — unidentified newspaper,
probably Philadelphia or Pittsburgh (a clipping was saved in a
scrapbook by Mrs. E. B. Henderson, who may have lived in or near New
Castle, Pennsylvania. Another clipping is of "Rustic Courtship,"
reprinted from the Southern Literary Messenger for February
1836. The title and text of "Ballad" match that printed in the Messenger,
except for the almost certainly erroneous omission of "now" at the end
of the final line of the second stanza. The poem carries the byline "BY
E. A. POE," and probably acknowledged the source, although that has
been cut away in the clipping as preserved.)
- "Bridal Ballad" — August 15, 1845 — Boston
Post,
p. 1
(reprinted
with Poe's name from the Broadway Journal) (This reprint
noted
by K. Ljungquist,
p. 195n24.)
- "Bridal Ballad" —
about September 1849 — Richmond Examiner proof sheets — (the
text given by Whitty matches Text 07 exactly. It may be surmised that
the Examiner text was set from Poe's copy of RAOP. Strangely,
Whitty does not list the J. L. Graham copy of RAOP
in his versions of this poem, although he does include two references
to this volume in the variants.)
