Subject: RE: Lyr Req: songs from 'The Tale of Ale'
Susanne, that is wonderful. Most of the hairiest passages for me you have sussed excellently.

Here are a couple of places where my hearing gives me a different cant. Let me know what you (and anyone else) think. My changes are bold:

Good fellows wherever they are, bid a great part for their share
...
It never should grieve me much though more excises were
...
What though the brewer pay mine host pays him again
...
When they meet one another they go to drink together
...
The brewery must be paid, the hostess she will not score
...
Good fellows both great and small may pray that wars may cease
That no excise at all may be in the time of peace
...
Considering what they spend they lose a full part in seven
