Mad Maudlin | Lyr Req: Handsome Polly-o (from Martin Carthy) (11) | RE: Lyr Req: Handsome Polly | 18 Nov 01 |
Just came across this thread looking for the lyrics, and as a non-native speaker of English the expression "laughed him to scorn" puzzled me a little. Was the word order reversed "laughed to scorn him") so that it would fit into the song, or is the expression really "laugh someone to scorn"? |
