Ah, I see. Light slowly dawns. I needed to know that it was in your Broadsides collection to start ...

I guess I can't help, as I don't have instant access to a full ballad resource. I could eventually find out a few bits 'n' pieces for you perhaps but I can't help with translation unless you scan the words and send it e-mail. PM me for an e-mail address if you want.

I did do a search for 'Welsh' and found a few things of personal interest. I note that, under "Flee Stately Juno" it notes "Tune: Welshe Sydanen [Sedany]" If memory serves, Sidanen (as it is currently spelled) was written for Queen Eliz I by John Dee, her physician/counsellor etc upon whom the play, "The Alchemist" was supposedly based. The tune evolved into The Irish Washer Woman.
