The above was an enthusiastic unpublished text from a MS duplicate, c 1740-50, on National Library out of Scotland, NLS MS 6299. No matter if quite faulty, I couldn’t overcome the newest striking next verse on the variation, which illustrates how later models was modified.
An excellent. L. From their notes it seems that the guy first got it club singers, maybe collated with a good chapbook of approximately 1760, Charming Phyllis’s Garland . The guy does not say were he got their tune, which is vaguely just like the that here. Lloyd’s adaptation has some minor spoken variations, however, his past verse is much other and that i append they pursuing the head text message.
The new tune has already been had written in the Northumberland Vickers’ manuscript away from c 1770-5, because of the Matt Seattle regarding Great North Track Guide , #527, 1987, but I take advantage of another type of backup and that changes a bit inside timing within the the final half the two middle measures each and every filter systems. Simple fact is that last pay attention a novel distinct song and you may moving tunes, Folger Shakespeare Library MS V.b. 410, that’s, inside my estimation, of about 1760-2.
