I am reading "Tod of the Fens" a Newbery Honor book. Contained in the first chapter is a partial ballad sung by a minstrel.
Upon searching for references to the ballads character, i found that the ballad is a work of sir walter scott. (it doesn't matter that scott wrote/translated it in the 1800's; the original probably came from the german- no earlier than the 1500's - and "Tod's" minstrel exists in the early 1400's)
In that it is only a partial ballad- not the complete ballad- does it get entered as a work relationship- contained in: "Tod etc"

Only if the piece of the ballad quoted in the book (That piece, not the whole thing) is already a work on LibraryThing. We are not supposed to add works just to create relationships.
