Thread Name: The Rogueries of Tom Moore -Father Prout
Subject: RE: The Rogueries of Tom Moore -Father Prout
So Prouty composed fake Greek and Latin originals and then claimed that Moore was a fraud because he had plagiarized them. Sounds like typical academic squabbling.

Here's a Dutch proverb re fame and envy: "The tall tree catches the wind."

I believe I'll go on enjoying Moore's lovely songs.
