Denouncing a traditionally transmitted phrase as 'non-existent' and 'inherently wrong' was, perhaps, a bit extreme, as was the suggestion that 'there is no other version that has these words', when I have shown one from Bronson derived from Sharp, and OP remembered it, he thought, from Lomax. Even if they derived from same source, the implication of all those above that it couldn't exist at all... So my 'cocksure' was aimed less at you, Dave, than at those above, who seemed to be twisting themselves into all sorts of knots to satisfy themselves and us that he had misremembered, when it seems likely, by my researches, that he hadn't. Couldn't any of them have checked Child & Bronson, as I did, before rushing in with their suggestions as to what he really 'must' have [mis]remembered?
