First, a Ballad is a narrative poem, often of folk origin and intended to be sung, consisting of simple stanzas and usually having a refrain. It should not be confused with the word Ballade which refers to the 14th and 15th century French verse form.

Second, seems the origination of the Ballad occured in the 17th century
