Tnx. I started with "The Beggarman" (v. 2 and 6 are closest to the song I actually heard, v. 3 is a totally different song, v. 4 is close to what you wrote, but features actual words in the song, no tooren stuff; I didn't manage to spot v. 1 and 5), which is a little different, the beggar is old - an old beggar, even naked, is unlikely to look appealing to a young maid - then he is invited directly to the house.

The maid herself is only mentioned, she doesn't "appear" (except for v. 4, which is closer to "The Jolly Beggar"). And there is no explicit refference to losing her maidenhead, except the last lines, where she is a mother, but then the old beggar isn't necessarily the father of her children.

I admit being an enthusiastic nature - and a poor English speaker - but I only said it "reminded me <The Pied Piper of Hamelin>". The rest of the "conversation" is my trying to explain that thought (and not to prove something I know very little of) - and you mocking.

Thanks for the valuable information, though.

Merry
