Two musical settings to "The Wooden Walls of Old England," listed in "Catalogue of Printed Music Published Between 1487-1800" by William Barclay Squire. The Google preview on line begins will Lanzo (Gesualdo).
"The Wooden Walls..." was given as a toast in 1813, but musical accompaniment was "Rule Britannia." (Eyewitness Accounts) www.napoleon-series.org/research/eyewitness/c_patrick.html
