Richie, Brian - re 'mystery text'. I think the "e" might refer to Child's E version from Motherwell mss, which has the same refrain lines (in fact almost identical 1st verse): The Elfin Knight sits on yon hill Ba ba lilly ba Blowing his horn loud and shill And the wind has blawn my plaid awa. The word could be Esquire, but I'm not sure, and don't know what it means if it is. Mick
