Here are the two tunes printed by Peacock (see Q's post above). Both are versions of tunes used for quite a number of songs. The first goes with the text given; the second was printed with one verse only. Whether it's intrinsically superior to the first I wouldn't like to say, but it's certainly more interesting.
