Ballad:Old Paul And Old Tim
Old Paul and Old Tim were two aging men set on capturing the affection of one young woman—Emily. Their rivalry was not marked by charm, wealth, or wit, for they stood level in almost every regard: both were bold, old, and rather indistinct.

She was not particularly swayed by either, and her affections were more influenced by external opinions—namely,…-

Ballad: The Two Majors
The Two Majors introduces a peculiar bond shared by two stern yet admired military officers whose command style thrives on discipline rather than praise.
