Thread Name: Irishman that sings with the las?
Subject: RE: Irishman that sings with the las?
I never ran into quhilk before, and I came up with this
It basically says that the Irish beggar who sings with a woman and begs in the town but will not work, is told to leave the town on pain of being branded on his cheek. A nice practice indeed!
