Subject: Lyr Req: Help with 'Murder in Irish'
The Bodleian Library has a ballad, the text unreadable, that looks very interesting.
Murder in Irish
Harding B25(1282), printed by J. Jennings, bet. 1790-1840.
The index gives the first line-
"Without the help of a gammut-note, demisemiquaver, crotchet or minum [sic] ....."
Help would be appreciated in obtaining the lyrics.
