GUEST Lyr Req: Oro Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile - Scottish (33) RE: Lyr Req: Oro Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile - Scottish 26 Aug 24

Thanks for the info. I just surmised that his choice of the Ho Ro tune for his anti-Royalist satire would have extra point if he knew the tune had Jacobite resonances. If he got the tune from Ireland (as looks likely), where such resonances were largely suppressed, he might also have known something of the song in Scottish Gaelic, which is what I'm looking for. But these speculations now appear groundless.
