Jim, in that stanza, there are rhymes within the lines - knee/me, eye/pie, cat/hat, fire/liar - and that's why I would opt for milk/silk even if milk occurs twice.

The 'Fagin' was probably a missprint in Meade. That is what he had in the song entry at page 266 and I went with that. However, it is spelled 'Fagan' at the songster reference at page 914. Looks like I opted for the wrong one.
