Subject: RE: BS: Resolutions for folk song characters
I will not attempt to entice impressionable young Northumbrian ladies to release me from my prison.
Neither will I pledge to marry a Turkish girl, even after seven years have passed.
If I hear the pipes calling, I'll just phone the plumber.
Were I to witness a woman being stabbed, I would go to her aid.
If my brother went to Japan, I'd let him go alone.
Were I the servant in a Somerset household and fancied the master's daughter, I'd make sure that her brothers didn't get to hear of it.
