GUEST,Becky, Tucson, AZ	Help: Hardy & Bonaparte (5)	Hardy & Bonaparte	17 Jul 00
In Thomas Hardy's "The Trumpet Major" the soldiers sing (omitting his diacriticals): When lawyers strive to heal a breach, And parsons practise what they preach; Then Boney he'll come pouncing down, And march his men on London Town! Rollicum rorum, tollollorum, Rollicum rorum, tollollay. (etc. - 4 verses offered, a total of 14 referred to!) Was this Hardy's own creation, or (and?) is there a melody anyone knows of? ~ Becky Nankivell Tucson, Arizona
