"Natty Take-up" seems to be a mis-transcription. I had quoted Charles Benfield from Sam Richards and Tish Stubbs: The English Folksinger. But on the GlosTrad website for Captain Grant, Gwilym Davies transcribed the line as "To the m.......s young hero called the Man taker-up" (GlosTrad however gave the song the wrong Roud number 1415).

Cecil Sharp's own handwriting is on the VWML page CJS2/9/2132.
