Subject: RE: BS: About the Good King Wenceslas!!!!!READ
Good King Wenceslas was written in English by John M. Neale (printed in 1853). There was an earlier carol to the same tune. Masato discussed this in another thread; I believe some editions of the Oxford book of carols referred to Neale's effort as doggerel. I will try and find the thread. "Fancy a look out" is dialect.
