This poem is not by Sir Walter Raleigh the famous Elizabethan adventurer (1554-1618) but by Sir Walter Raleigh the English academic (1861-1922) as is The Will and the Ballad in the style of Sir Patrick Spens and perhaps others in the list ( I haven't checked them all). So if any poem in this collection seems too modern and jaunty for an Elizabethan poem then this is the answer.
