Blood Libel

[Mr Hood]

The Jew's daughter

The rain rins doun through Mirry-land toune,

Sae dois it doune the Pa:

Sae dois the lads of Mirry-land toune,

Quhan they play at the ba'.



Than out and cam the Jewis dochter,

Said, 'Will ye cum in and dine?'

'I winnae cum in, I cannae cum in,

Without my play-feres nine.'



Scho powd an apple reid and white,

To intice the zong thing in:

Scho powd an apple white and reid,

And that the sweit bairne did win.



And scho has taine out a little penknife,

And low down by her gair;

Scho has twin'd the zong thing and his life;

A word he nevir spak mair.



And out and cam the thick, thick, bluid,

And out and cam the thin;

And out and cam the bonny herts bluid:

Thair was nae life left in


Scho laid him on a dressing borde,

And drest him like a swine,

And laughing said, 'Gae nou and pley

With zour sweit play-feres nine.'



Scho rowd him in a cake of lead,

Bade him lie stil and sleip;

Scho cast him in a deip draw-well,

Was fifty fadom deip.



Quhan bells wer rung, and mass was sung,

And every lady went hame:

Than ilka lady had her zong sonne,

Bot Lady Helen had none.



Scho rowd hir mantil hir about,

And sair, sair gan she weip,

And she ran into the Jewis castel,

Quhan they were all asleip.



'My bonny Sir Hew, my pretty Sir Hew,

I pray thee to me speik:'

'O lady, rinn to the deip draw-well,

Gin ze zour zonne wad seik.'



Lady Helen ran to the deip draw-well,

And knelt upon her kne:

'My bonny Sir Hew, an ze be here,

I pray thee speik to me.'



'The lead is wondrous heavy, mither,

The well is wondrous deip;

A keen pen-knife sticks in my hert,

A word I dounae speik.



'Gae hame, gae hame, my mither deir,

Fetch me my windling sheet,

And at the back o' Mirry-land toun

Its thair we twa sall meet.'

Sir Hugh is a traditional British folk song, Child ballad # 155, Roud # 73, a folkloric example of a blood libel.


Some boys are playing with a ball, in Lincoln. They accidentally throw it over the wall of a Jew's house (or castle). The daughter of the Jew comes out, dressed in green, and beckons to a boy to come in to fetch it. He replies that can't do this without his playmates. She entices him in with fruit and a gold ring. Once he has sat down on a throne, she stabs him in the heart "like a sheep". There is much blood.

When the boy fails to come home, his mother concludes that he is skylarking. She sets out to find him, with a rod to beat him. From beyond the grave, the boy asks his mother to prepare a funeral winding sheet, and that he is "asleep". In some versions he asks that if his father calls for him, the father is to be told that he is "dead." In some versions the boy's corpse shines "like gold". In some versions the Jew's daughter catches the blood in a basin and puts a prayerbook at his head and a bible at his feet.

''In 1492 La Guardia, Spain, a child by the name of Christopher was said to have been ritually murdered by Jews. Shortly thereafter, Queen Isabella of Spain issued an edict that banished Jews from Spain forever, and it was not until approximately 1967 that Jews were "officially" allowed back'

I guess that's why Christopher Columbus sailed the Jews to the Americas.

Edited to add, there's far too much to quote at the link but there's some very extensive interesting reading to be had.

So, what are you getting at?

Ahh, that's a little like Jack the Ripper, it will take time to explain. Be patient is the only advice I can give.
