Bruce Lyr Req: Gilderoy (15) RE: LYRICS for Gilderoy 18 Aug 97

Gilderoy: which lyrics? There is evidence that some version was known by 1663, but the earliest extant version is one on a broadside of c 1685 - 1695. With a different 7th verse this is in Pills to Purge Melancholy. A later broadside version, c 1700, is in the Crawford collection of braodsides, and a version of it is in Orpheus Caledonius, 1733.
