So, Can Ye Sew Cushions is on page 69 of Aird's book, volume 4, and Begone Dull Care is on page 65.

I have another theory which has been ticking over in my mind.

Codiad yr Ehedydd is a Welsh tune
Begone Dull Care is an English tune
Can Ye Sew Cushions is a Scottish tune

Is Tune # 4 - or # 5 or # 6 - an Irish tune?

And Tune # 7 is a hymn

(Someone tell me to get a life, please!)
