Preface
Welcome to Learning AWS Lambda!

In this book, you will learn how to use Lambda, how to use it in combination
with other AWS services, in particular API Gateway Service, but also services
such as DynamoDB, which is the database as a service offering by Amazon that
is also a pay-per-use utility-based, utility computing-based service, which works
very well in the context of our serverless application architecture.

Also, we will look at other Amazon Web Services that work well alongside
Lambda. In addition, you will learn how to use the serverless framework to build
larger applications to structure your code, to autogenerate boilerplate code that
you can use to get started quickly. In this video, we will explore Lambda and you
will learn how to build scalable and cost-efficient applications that require nearly
no operations once you have built and deployed your application.

So let's get started on this wonderful journey.

“The Life and Death of George of Oxford. To a
pleasant tune, called Poor Georgy.” Roxburghe
Collection, IV, 53, Pepys, II, 150, Jersey, I, 86, Huth,
I, 150, according to Mr J. W. Ebsworth, Roxburghe
Ballads, VII, 70, 1890. It was printed for P. Brooksby,
whose time Mr Ebsworth gives as between 1671 and
1692.
1
As I went over London Bridge,
All in a misty morning,
There did I see one weep and mourn,
Lamenting for her Georgy.
His time it is past, his life it will not last,
Alack and alas, there is no remédy!
Which makes the heart within me ready to burst in three,
To think on the death of poor Georgy.

2
‘George of Oxford is my name,
And few there’s but have known me;
Many a mad prank have I playd,
But now they’ve overthrown me.’

3
O then bespake the Lady Gray;
‘I’le haste me in the morning,
And to the judge I’le make my way,
To save the life of Georgy.

4
‘Go saddle me my milk-white steed,
Go saddle me my bonny,
That I may to New-Castle speed,
To save the life of Georgy.’

5
But when she came the judge before,
Full low her knee she bended;
For Georgy’s life she did implore,
That she might be befriended.

6
‘O rise, O rise, fair Lady Gray,
Your suit cannot be granted;
ou su t ca ot be g a ted;
Content your self as well you may,
For Georgy must be hanged.’

7
She wept, she waild, she [w]rung her hands,
And ceasëd not her mourning;
She offerd gold, she offerd lands,
To save the life of Georgy.

8
‘I have travelld through the land,
And met with many a man, sir,
But, knight or lord, I bid him stand;
He durst not make an answer.

9
‘The Brittain bold that durst deny
His money for to tender,
Though he were stout as valiant Guy,
I forced him to surrender.

10
‘But when the money I had got,
And made him cry peccavi,
To bear his charge and pay his shot,
A mark or noble gave I.

11
‘The ladies, when they had me seen,
Would ner have been affrighted;
To take a dance upon the green
With Georgy they delighted.

12
‘When I had ended this our wake,
And fairly them bespoken,
Their rings and jewels would I take,
e gs a d je e s ou d ta e,
To keep them for a token.’

13
The hue-and-cry for George is set,
A proper handsome fellow,
With diamond eyes as black as jet,
And locks like gold so yellow.

14
Long it was, with all their art,
Ere they could apprehend him,
But at the last his valiant heart
No longer could defend him.

15
‘I ner stole horse nor mare in my life,
Nor cloven foot, or any,
But once, sir, of the king’s white steeds,
And I sold them to Bohemia.’

16
Georgy he went up the hill,
And after followed many;
Georgy was hanged in silken string,
The like was never any.

stanza) is from time to time varied.

BONNIE JAMES CAMPBELL

A. Herd’s MSS, I, 40, II, 184.


B. Finlay’s Scottish Ballads, 1808, I, xxxiii.
C. ‘Bonnie George Campbell,’ Smith’s Scotish
Minstrel, V, 42.
D. Cunningham’s Songs of Scotland, III, 2.

A was copied by Sir Walter Scott (with slight


variations) into a MS. at Abbotsford, ‘Scottish Songs,’
fol. 68 (1795–1806). The first half is printed from
notes of Scott in Laing’s edition of Sharpe’s Ballad
Book, pp. 143, 156 f, and to these two stanzas,
nearly as here printed, there are added in the second
case, p. 157, the following verses, which are
evidently modern, with the exception of the last:
His hawk and his hounds they are wandered and gane,
His lady sits dowie and weary her lane,
His bairns wi greetin hae blinded their een,
His croft is unshorn, and his meadow grows green.

Scott subjoins, “I never heard more of this.” He


was familiar with Herd’s MSS.
C, like many things in the Scotish Minstrel, has
passed through editorial hands, whence the ‘never
return’ of st. 4, and ‘A plume in his helmet, a sword
at his knee,’ st. 5. This copy furnished the starting
point for Allan Cunningham, III, 1, who, however,
substitutes Finlay’s ‘wife’ for the Minstrel’s ‘bryde,’
and presents her with three bairns.
Motherwell made up his ‘Bonnie George Campbell’
(Minstrelsy, p. 44) from B, C, D. In a manuscript
copied out by a granddaughter of Lord
Woodhouselee (1840–50), D is combined with
Cunningham’s ballad.
Motherwell says that this ballad “is probably a
lament for one of the adherents of the house of
Argyle who fell in the battle of Glenlivet, stricken on
Thursday, the third day of October, 1594.” Sir Robert
Gordon observes that Argyle lost in this battle his
two cousins, Archibald and James Campbell:
Genealogical History of Sutherland, p. 229.
Maidment, Scotish Ballads, 1868, I, 240, chooses to
think that “there can be little doubt” that the ballad
refers to the murder of Sir John Campbell of Calder
by one of his own surname, in 1591, and alters the
title accordingly to ‘Bonnie John Campbell.’
Motherwell has at least a name to favor his
supposition. But Campbells enow were killed, in
battle or feud, before and after 1590, to forbid a
guess as to an individual James or George grounded
upon the slight data afforded by the ballad.
Motherwell’s ballad is translated by Wolff, Halle der
Völker, I, 79, Hausschatz, p. 225.

BEWICK AND GRAHAM

a. ‘The Song of Bewick and Grahame,’ a stall-copy,


in octavo, British Museum, 11621. e. 1. (4.) b. ‘A
Remarkable and Memorable Song of Sir Robert
Bewick and the Laird Graham,’ broadside,
Roxburghe Ballads, III, 624. c. ‘A Remarkable and
Memorable Song of Sir Robert Bewick and the
Laird Graham,’ broadside, Percy papers. d.
‘Bewick and Graham’s Garland,’ M. Angus and
Son, Newcastle, Bell Ballads, Abbotsford Library, P.
5, vol. i, No 60. e. Broadside, in “A Jolly Book of
Garlands collected by John Bell in Newcastle,” No
29, Abbotsford Library, E. 1. f. ‘Bewick and
Graham,’ chapbook, Newcastle, W. Fordyce. g.
“Scotch Ballads, Materials for Border Minstrelsy,”
No 145, Abbotsford. h. ‘Chirstie Græme,’ the
same, No 89.
No copy of this ballad earlier than the last century
is known to me. The Museum Catalogue gives a
conjectural date of 1740 to a and of 1720 to b, and,
conjecturally again, assigns both to Newcastle. c, d,
e are also without date. c may be as old as b; d, e
are at least not old, and f is of this century. The
ballad was given under the title ‘Græme and Bewick,’
in Scott’s Minstrelsy, 1803, III, 93, “from the
recitation of a gentleman” who remembered it but
imperfectly. In a succeeding edition, III, 66, 1833,
deficiencies were partly supplied and some different
readings adopted “from a copy obtained by the
recitation of an ostler in Carlisle.” The first copy
(entitled ‘Chirstie Græme’) was sent Scott by William
Laidlaw, January 3, 1803 (Letters, vol. i, No 78), as
taken down by him from the singing of Mr Walter
Grieve, in Craik, on Borthwick Water. It is preserved
in “Scotch Ballads, Materials for Border Minstrelsy,”
No 89, Abbotsford (h); and in the same volume, No
145, is what is shown by internal evidence to be the
ostler’s copy (g). Both copies were indisputably
derived from print, though h may have passed
through several mouths. g agrees with b-f closely as
to minute points of phraseology which it is difficult to
believe that a reciter would have retained. It looks
more like an immediate, though faulty, transcript
from print. Of many deviations, though most may be
charge-able to a bad copyist, or, if one pleases, a
bad memory, others indicate an original which
differed in some particulars from b-f; and the same
may perhaps be true of h, which is, however, of only
[92]
very trifling value.
‘The Brothers-in-Arms,’ Maidment, Scotish Ballads
and Songs, 1868, II, 150, is Scott’s later copy.
Old Graham and old Bewick are drinking together
at Carlisle. Graham proposes the health of their
respective sons. Bewick demurs. Young Graham is no
peer for young Bewick, who is good at both books
and arms, whereas Graham is no scholar. Old
Graham goes home mortified and angry, repeats to
his son Christy what Bewick had said, and bids him,
as he would have his blessing, prove that he can at
least hold his own in a fight with young Bewick.
Christy is ‘faith and troth,’ or sworn-brother, to young
Bewick, and begs his father to forbear. The father
insists; Christy may make his choice, to fight with
young Bewick or with himself. Christy, upon
reflection, concludes that it would be a less crime to
kill his sworn-brother than to kill his father, but
swears that, should it be his lot to kill his friend, he
will never come home alive. He arms himself and
goes to seek his comrade. Bewick, who has been
teaching his five scholars their fence, and apparently
also their psalms, is walking in his father’s close, with
his sword under his arm, and sees a man in armor
riding towards him. Recognizing Graham, he
welcomes him affectionately. Graham informs him
that he has come to fight with him, rehearses the
scene with old Graham, and puts by all his friend’s
remonstrances and the suggestion that the fathers
may be reconciled through arbitrators. Forced to
fight, Bewick vows, as Graham had done, that, if it
be his fortune to kill his brother, he will never go
home alive. Graham throws off his armor that he
may have no advantage; they fight two hours with
no result, and then Graham gives Bewick one of
those ‘ackward’ strokes which have determined
several duels in foregoing ballads. The wound is
deadly; Bewick intreats Graham to fly the country;
Graham swears that his vow shall be kept, leaps on
his sword and is the first to die. Old Bewick comes
up and is disposed to congratulate his son on his
victory. Young Bewick begs him to make one grave
for both, and to lay young Graham on the sunny
side, for he had been the better man. The two
fathers indulge in exclamations of grief.
I am persuaded that there was an older and better
copy of this ballad than those which are extant. The
story is so well composed, proportion is so well kept,
on the whole, that it is reasonable to suppose that
certain passages (as stanzas 3, 4, 50) may have
suffered some injury. There are also phrases which
are not up to the mark of the general style, as the
3 2
hack-rhymester lines at 7 , 19 . But it is a fine-
spirited ballad as it stands, and very infectious.
“The ballad is remarkable,” observes Sir Walter
Scott, “as containing probably the very latest allusion
to the institution of brotherhood in arms.” And he
goes on to say: “The quarrel of the two old chieftains
over their wine is highly in character. Two
generations have not elapsed [1803] since the
custom of drinking deep and taking deadly revenge
for slight offences produced very tragical events on
the border; to which the custom of going armed to
festive meetings contributed not a little.”

Scott’s later edition is translated by Loève-Veimars,


p. 323; by Rosa Warrens, Schottische Volkslieder der
Vorzeit, p. 99, No 22.
1
Old Grahame [he] is to Carlisle gone,
Where Sir Robert Bewick there met he;
In arms to the wine they are gone,
And drank till they were both merry.

2
Old Grahame he took up the cup,
And said, ‘Brother Bewick, here’s to thee;
And here’s to our two sons at home,
For they live best in our country.’

3
‘Nay, were thy son as good as mine,
And of some books he could but read,
With sword and buckler by his side,
To see how he could save his head,

4
‘They might have been calld two bold brethren
Where ever they did go or ride;
They might [have] been calld two bold brethren,
They might have crackd the Border-side.

5
‘Thy son is bad, and is but a lad,
And bully to my son cannot be;
For my son Bewick can both write and read,
And sure I am that cannot he.’

6
‘I put him to school, but he would not learn,
I bought him books, but he would not read;
But my blessing he’s never have
Till I see how his hand can save his head.’

7
Old Grahame called for an account,
And he askd what was for to pay;
There he paid a crown, so it went round,
Which was all for good wine and hay.

8
Old Grahame is into the stable gone,
Where stood thirty good steeds and three;
He’s taken his own steed by the head,
And home rode he right wantonly.

9
When he came home, there did he espy,
A loving sight to spy or see,
There did he espy his own three sons,
Young Christy Grahame, the foremost was he.

10
There did he espy his own three sons,
Young Christy Grahame, the foremost was he:
‘Where have you been all day, father,
That no counsel you would take by me?’

11
‘Nay, I have been in Carlisle town,
Where Sir Robert Bewick there met me;
He said thou was bad, and calld thee a lad,
And a baffled man by thou I be.

12
‘He said thou was bad, and calld thee a lad,
And bully to his son cannot be;
For his son Bewick can both write and read,
And sure I am that cannot thee.

13
‘I put thee to school, but thou would not learn.
I bought thee books, but thou would not read;
But my blessing thou’s never have
Till I see with Bewick thou can save thy head.’

14
‘Oh, pray forbear, my father dear;
That ever such a thing should be!
Shall I venture my body in field to fight
With a man that’s faith and troth to me?’

15
‘What’s that thou sayst, thou limmer loon?
Or how dare thou stand to speak to me?
If thou do not end this quarrel soon,
Here is my glove thou shalt fight me.’

16
Christy stoopd low unto the ground,
Unto the ground, as you’ll understand:
‘O father, put on your glove again,
The wind hath blown it from your hand.’

17
‘What’s that thou sayst, thou limmer loon?
Or how dare thou stand to speak to me?
If thou do not end this quarrel soon,
Here is my hand thou shalt fight me.’

18
Christy Grahame is to his chamber gone,
And for to study, as well might be,
Whether to fight with his father dear,
Or with his bully Bewick he.

19
‘If it be [my] fortune my bully to kill,
As you shall boldly understand,
In every town that I ride through,
They’ll say, There rides a brotherless man!

20
‘Nay, for to kill my bully dear,
I think it will be a deadly sin;
And for to kill my father dear,
The blessing of heaven I neer shall win.

21
‘O give me your blessing, father,’ he said,
‘And pray well for me for to thrive;
If it be my fortune my bully to kill,
I swear I’ll neer come home alive.’

22
He put on his back a good plate-jack,
And on his head a cap of steel,
With sword and buckler by his side;
O gin he did not become them well!

23
‘O fare thee well, my father dear!
And fare thee well, thou Carlisle town!
If it be my fortune my bully to kill,
I swear I’ll neer eat bread again.’

24
Now we’ll leave talking of Christy Grahame,
And talk of him again belive;
But we will talk of bonny Bewick,
Where he was teaching his scholars five.

25
Now when he had learnd them well to fence,
To handle their swords without any doubt,
He’s taken his own sword under his arm,
And walkd his father’s close about.

26
He lookd between him and the sun,
To see what farleys he coud see;
There he spy’d a man with armour on,
As he came riding over the lee.

27
‘I wonder much what man yon be
That so boldly this way does come;
I think it is my nighest friend,
I think it is my bully Grahame.

28
‘O welcome, O welcome, bully Grahame!
O man, thou art my dear, welcome!
O man, thou art my dear, welcome!
For I love thee best in Christendom.’

29
‘Away, away, O bully Bewick,
And of thy bullyship let me be!
The day is come I never thought on;
Bully, I’m come here to fight with thee.’

30
‘O no! not so, O bully Grahame!
That eer such a word should spoken be!
I was thy master, thou was my scholar:
So well as I have learnëd thee.’

31
‘My father he was in Carlisle town,
Where thy father Bewick there met he;
He said I was bad, and he calld me a lad,
And a baffled man by thou I be.’
32
‘Away, away, O bully Grahame,
And of all that talk, man, let us be!
We’ll take three men of either side
To see if we can our fathers agree.’

33
‘Away, away, O bully Bewick,
And of thy bullyship let me be!
But if thou be a man, as I trow thou art,
Come over this ditch and fight with me.’

34
‘O no! not so, my bully Grahame!
That eer such a word should spoken be!
Shall I venture my body in field to fight
With a man that’s faith and troth to me?’

35
‘Away, away, O bully Bewick,
And of all that care, man, let us be!
If thou be a man, as I trow thou art,
Come over this ditch and fight with me.’

36
‘Now, if it be my fortune thee, Grahame, to kill,
As God’s will’s, man, it all must be;
But if it be my fortune thee, Grahame, to kill,
’Tis home again I’ll never gae.’

37
‘Thou art of my mind then, bully Bewick,
And sworn-brethren will we be;
If thou be a man, as I trow thou art,
Come over this ditch and fight with me.’
38
He flang his cloak from [off] his shoulders,
His psalm-book out of his hand flang he,
He clapd his hand upon the hedge,
And oer lap he right wantonly.

39
When Grahame did see his bully come,
The salt tear stood long in his eye:
‘Now needs must I say that thou art a man,
That dare venture thy body to fight with me.

40
‘Now I have a harness on my back;
I know that thou hath none on thine;
But as little as thou hath on thy back,
Sure as little shall there be on mine.’

41
He flang his jack from off his back,
His steel cap from his head flang he;
He’s taken his sword into his hand,
He’s tyed his horse unto a tree.

42
Now they fell to it with two broa[d swords],
For two long hours fought Bewick [and he];
Much sweat was to be seen on them both,
But never a drop of blood to see.

43
Now Grahame gave Bewick an ackward stroke,
An ackward stroke surely struck he;
He struck him now under the left breast,
Then down to the ground as dead fell he.

44
‘ b ll k
‘Arise, arise, O bully Bewick,
Arise, and speak three words to me!
Whether this be thy deadly wound,
Or God and good surgeons will mend thee.’

45
‘O horse, O horse, O bully Grahame,
And pray do get thee far from me!
Thy sword is sharp, it hath wounded my heart,
And so no further can I gae.

46
‘O horse, O horse, O bully Grahame,
And get thee far from me with speed!
And get thee out of this country quite!
That none may know who’s done the deed.’

47
‘O if this be true, my bully dear,
The words that thou dost tell to me,
The vow I made, and the vow I’ll keep;
I swear I’ll be the first that die.

48
Then he stuck his sword in a moody-hill,
Where he lap thirty good foot and three;
First he bequeathed his soul to God,
And upon his own sword-point lap he.

49
Now Grahame he was the first that died,
And then came Robin Bewick to see;
‘Arise, arise, O son!’ he said,
‘For I see thou’s won the victory.

50
‘Arise, arise, O son!’ he said,
‘ h ’ h ’
‘For I see thou’s won the victory:’
‘[Father, co]uld ye not drunk your wine at home,
[And le]tten me and my brother be?

51
‘Nay, dig a grave both low and wide,
And in it us two pray bury;
But bury my bully Grahame on the sun-side,
For I’m sure he’s won the victory.’

52
Now we’ll leave talking of these two brethren,
In Carlisle town where they lie slain,
And talk of these two good old men,
Where they were making a pitiful moan.

53
With that bespoke now Robin Bewick:
‘O man, was I not much to blame?
I have lost one of the liveliest lads
That ever was bred unto my name.’

54
With that bespoke my good lord Grahame:
‘O man, I have lost the better block;
I have lost my comfort and my joy,
I have lost my key, I have lost my lock.

55
‘Had I gone through all Ladderdale,
And forty horse had set on me,
Had Christy Grahame been at my back,
So well as he woud guarded me.’

56
I have no more of my song to sing,
But two or three words to you I’ll name;
‘ ll b lk’d l l
But ‘twill be talk’d in Carlisle town
That these two [old] men were all the blame.
