Now I'm pondering just how the carving was supposed to be done:

"And on my breast carve a turtle dove,"

Is this some bizarre tattooing ritual enacting on the corpse? Is this a common cultural practice of some British or American cult? Inquiring minds would want to know, or not!

Oh, hang that harp!
