Hi Steve,
Great article, not sure if most people know what "lemman" is (Sloan MS]. I have "rinde" as "thorn" since bark doesn't really make sense. I had not seen the early version with the "Perry Merry Dictum Dominee" chorus from the late 1700s. I have two dozen or so US versions on my site as an appendix to Child 46.
TY,
Richie
