Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Rose
18th century songs entitled "The Rose"

1: Starts "Arise arise, thou blushing rose"
2: Starts "Blooming, beauteous fragrant flow'r"
3: Starts "Child of the summer, charming rose"
4: Starts "Go happy flow'r to her hand"

In the 19th century they knew better than to use such a simply title if they didn't want their song confused with others.
