Sambo's Grave: there is, I believe, no date on the grave. Azxizi, re Sultan's Polka: my comment on the "first theme" was perhaps ambiguous. It is a three part tune, or at least the version I know is, and the first part is the tune used for an English nursery-rhyme: One two three four five Once I caught a fish alive Six seven eight nine ten Then I let him go again Why did you let him go? Because he bit my finger so Which finger did he bite? This little finger on the right.
