    Notes This is an example of a folding ballad. For this ballad, the first verse appears on the first page, which includes a woodcut impression of a rampant lion. To read the next verse, the reader must lift up the top flap; this reveals a griffin with the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion. To read the last verse, the reader must open the bottom flap; this reveals an eagle with an infant in its talons.
