Leadfingers - interested you set poems from Comic & Curious Verse (I take it you mean the Penguin collections?). I am no composer - the only successful tune I think I have ever made up for myself is for 'Unhappy Bella' in the first book - have you done a setting for that one? The Cohens [editors] are, I think, remiss in not giving its source — Orwell quotes it in Down & Out In Paris & London, claiming to have heard it heartbrekingly harmonised by a couple of old boys in a doss-house; but he doesn't give a tune!
