For this he was persecuted the owner, according to S., too harsh. to take revenge on him Sh composed ballad. And though this ballad - perhaps the first poetic attempt Sh - lost, but judging by the stories, she "was filled with a causticity, Lucy redoubled his persecution, have come down to the fact that S. had to leave her family and all their affairs in Warwickshire and escape to London. "

Sir Thomas Lucy
