Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Weird seldom sung verse in Hark! etc.
Q's third verse isn't an alternative, it's just a horrid jumble of the "real" lines, made by some ignorant printer. It appears in the carol sheet put out by our local rag here, probably pirated from somewhere else, and is impossible to sing to the tune.
