Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Buck's Elegy (corrupt text?)
Subject: RE: BUCK'S ELEGY -- A corrupt text?
Lloyd's 2 verses were just given as an example of the song. All he says is that "the song was heard in Dublin in the 1790s". The confusion lies with the fact that this comes immediately after the 2 verses. There is no suggestion that the verses and the phrase are related.
