Variants
Several Norse variants of this ballad exist, although the man does not reject the woman on advice of his friends in them.
Similarly to this one, in Fair Margaret and Sweet William, the hero rejects the heroine to marry for money; Lord Lovel, containing some similar themes, has the heroine die for lack of hope.
