Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Carman's Whistle
I have posted a draft of an, as yet not but soon to be, published essay on my website - entitled "The best English-Irish poetry before Yeats" it is under at http://moulden.org. It begins by showing the derivation of the apparently innocuous "The next market day" (or Comber Ballad) from this song and continues with more (more-or-less) intelligent bawdry.
