To: ClintonHammond, Stilly River Sage, weelittledrummer: "What's the rhyme..." was not the question. The question was "is there a tune to that song?". Thank you, anyway. To: Uncle_DaveO: according to the "Online Etymology Dictionary", the word "porringer" was influenced by "porridge", but its "ancestor" is French ("potager"). To: Q, Peace, Malcolm Douglas: Thank you for the useful additional explanations. To: McGrath of Harlow: thank you for the hint, the tune could be the same as the one used for "Come lanlord fill the flowing bowl". I've taken it into account.
