Mad Maudlin | Help: Origin of word 'maudlin'? (88* d) | RE: Help: Origin of word 'maudlin'? | 03 Apr 01 |
Awww, senitilty...I meant to add something to Greyeyes' post but forgot: If I remember correctly, the Puritans were big in those days (the song was written in 1580). Trust them to lock prostitutes away under the pretext that they were mad! (You won't believe it, but I had an English teacher who thought the Puritans were the greatest people that ever walked the earth. Aaaaaaaaaaah!) |
