Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Stond Horse + The Merry Nightingale
Subject: Lyr Req: the stond horse (?)
I return from an early-music workshop with a lovely round with the line "the stond horse kicks and flinges and flinges". The round was printed in Ravenscroft's Pammelia in 1609.

Does anybody know what "stond" means? It is not in my dictionary. (I tried stand, staund and stawnd as possible alternatives, but no luck.)
