"Blackbird (I), The (Jacobite) ------ 1651"

Did the Cavaliers have Nostradamus working for them?

I've got a book - somewhere - that I bought years ago, songs of the (English) civil war. The Daughter was learning piano at the time, and I heard a strange warbling one morning, coming from the next room. There she was, pink- warbling and plonking her way through all 57 verses of the Dreadful Tale of Titus Andronicus, to the tune of Fortune My Foe.
