Thanks, Lucy, but this is the same text given by Gundry. Although I probably have more books on the Cornish language and its literature than most people, the references to this song are a little obscure so it is hard to evaluate its origins. The language was in decline at this period with fragments being collected (and generated) by gentlemen antequarians rather than traditional speakers.

I've come round to the idea of learning this song in Late Cornish because that is more authentic. I know that a few Cornish artists have recorded this song, but before attempting to follow them I'd like to get a better understanding of the orthography and sound system not only of Late Cornish in general but of this particular text. I say this as a Cornish speaker, although the version of revived Cornish I learnt was based on an earlier period of the language.
