STRESSED WORDS: ARE THEY KEY WORDS?
In the ballad lord Randal the stressed words are key words stating important concepts. The first half of each line changes a little noting incremental repetition that carries on the story.
The second half of each stanza is the same along the whole ballad repeating the same scheme setting the repetition typical of this poetic form in popular songs.
