Subject: RE: Nic Jones - Analysis of Little Musgrave
The quote from the above-mentioned play Knight of the Burning Pestle (first performed 1607, published 1613) is:

"OLD MERRYTHOUGHT
(sings)
And some they whistled, and some they sung,
Hey, down, down!
And some did loudly say,
Ever as the Lord Barnet's horn blew,
Away, Musgrave, away!"
