Thread Name: Lyr Add: All in a Garden Green (R Dyer-Bennett)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: All In A Garden Green
There's more to the songl; see Wm. Chappell's PMOT, I, p. 110-11. I've seen the original of it in Folger Shakespeare Library MS V.a. 339. It's one of John Payne Collier's forgeries. Collier gave it (and several others) from his 'old' manuscript to Chappell, who put it in PMOT. (See Collier file on my website). The original "All in a garden green", unkown to Collier, is ZN70 in the broadside ballad index on my website. www.erols.com/olsonw
