Tradsinger Pembrokeshire Wren song - origin? (6) Pembrokeshire Wren song - origin? 15 Jan 20


I am tryiing to find the provenance for the tune for the song "Joy, health, love and peace" AKA The Wren song AKA The King or Please to see the King. I have found the "original" words in Notes and Queries for 1864, with no tune, so I am wondering where the tune came from. Is there another source somewhere?

For info, I am not interested in knowing about who recorded it - I am surely interested in where the tune came from and when it first arose.
