Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hunting the Hare (from Kate Rusby)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: hunting the hare
It would make sense. I've come across yet another set, incidentally, this time in British Minstrelsie (eds. Greig, Parry, Bussell, Fleetwood Sheppard and Hopkinson, London, Caxton, n.d., vol. IV 84-5). It appears as Hunting the Hare (Hela'r Scwarnog), "English and Welsh words by Professor Rowlands". The English is different from what we have seen so far: it would be interesting to see how close the Welsh might be to Tegid's lyric.
