Subject: RE: BS: So here I am then
IARF - I just read them off the Bodlian site. took less then a couple minutes each time. The quality of reproduction there really isn't the best, though, is it?

I suspect some of the difficulty with the scansion may lie in changes in pronunciation; and may even lie with the idiosyncratic (is that a word?) pronunciation of the original author. I know there have been verses which I could not recite or sing in a set rhythm, which other people by very minor changes in pronunciation could.

Do you have a tune for this? Can you post and or transmit it in some way? also your other verses? Would you be willing to? I'd like to get it done up in "proper" format and submit to the DT, if there are no objections.
