I'm going to write a ballad about one of my heroes in The Unicorn Killers. Exciting? I think so! Unfortunately, this means I have to know how to write a heroic ballad. So... basically, my experience with heroic ballads is Jayne's Song. And... that's it.
Anyway, any links to heroic ballads or tips on how to write them would be WONDERFUL. Thank you in advance!

Erm, yah. I've been watching Firefly, a lot, lately.
So ballads, well I found a nifty site that had some good things to say on how to write one.
