Who wrote it though it is un known Variants of this ballads are found in German, Swedish, Magyar, Danish, Wendish.
There are also different Italian versions. They are usually titled "L'avvelenato" ('The Poisoned Man') or "Il testamento dell'avvelenato" ('The Poisoned Man's Will'). One of them was published for the first time in 1629 by Camillo il Bianchino, in Verona.
A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative story and set to music. Ballads were characteristic of particularly British and Irish popular poetry and song from the later medieval period until the nineteenth century and used extensively across Europe and later north America, Australia and north Africa. Many ballads were written and sold as single sheet broadsides. The form was often used by poets and composers from the eighteenth century onwards to produce lyrical ballads. In the later twentieth century it took on the meaning of a slow form of popular love
