Most of the chap-book stories were sung as ballads. “The Seven Champions”, “St. George”, “Patient Grissel” and “The London Prentice” were all in the _Collection of Old Ballads_ printed in 1723, with “The Noble Acts of King Arthur” from Malory;[13] and others were reprinted in Percy’s _Reliques_ (1765) from a folio manuscript of the seventeenth century.
