Subject: 'sing Golier'..Whazzit?
I have this old book (1912) by Hillaire Belloc [The Four Men], that involves the philosophical, metaphysical and pub-crawling walking journey of four archtypes [the Poet, the Sailor, Grizzlebeard and Myself] (one of them is Chesterton, I forget which, Grizzlebeard, maybe?) around Sussex and environs. It contains a number of songs and tunes, but only a tantalizing bit of a song that ends, "...and we[or I] will sing Golier."
So, what is Golier? A song? A place? A latin word? And what's the rest of the song?
Blessings,
Barbara
