I've known for a long time that there a lot of things I'm never going to know, but the thrill is probably as much in the chase, as in the capture.

I forgot about a titleless "Billy Boy" of two verses printed by Hans Hecht in 'Songs from David Herd's Manuscripts (c 1776)'. [See the Opie's 'The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes'. Where they note that MacNeill's song was in the Edinburgh 'Bee' Magazine, 1791.]
