It's something of a scandal that the Lays are not available in a cheap, modern, mainstream edition (Penguin classics or otherwise). Fine poetry; at least fine verse; definitely no similarity with the ghastly introverted, unskilled, immoderate, arrogant, facile, unenjoyable 'poetry' of today.
Actually I was quoting from The Wordsworth Poetry Library's edition of The Works of Lord Macaulay. I picked it up at Chapters' Bargain Book section. Less than four dollars, I think. In my experience the cheaper and older the book, the better.

Oh. How interesting. Must confess I have never heard of Chapters in the UK, but shall poke around.
I'm afraid Chapters is a Canadian retail outlet, now owned by Indigo. Don't think you'll find it anywhere in the UK, cawp. But keep poking.
