Thread Name: Origins: Monto / Take me up to Monto
Subject: Monto
I would just like to ask a few quick question regarding the exact meaning (assuming there is one) of a few lines of Monto: 1. The reference to the Duke of Gloucester as a dirty old imposter who lost his Mot, 2.The reference to the Dublin Fusiliers getting the childer, and the reference to the Linen hall and the cannonball 3.The reference to the Lord Mayor and Queen Victoria.

Basically I am wondering if the verses have a meaning in the same way as the "Carey told on Skin-the-goat" verse does.
