Can anyone identify the line "Looking grim, the lawyer's daughter"? It's the incipit of an archived song of which I do not have any of the rest.

Have a look at the song called "Kate and her horns" in the DT (Digital Tradition) database. You can search for it by putting:

[Kate and her horns]

- using the square brackets, in the Lyrics & Knowledge Search box at the top of this page.

These are verses 9 & 10

"And when he saw her long black tail
He strove to run, but his feet did fail
Kate quickly seized him by the throat
And said with grim and doleful note

"You leave poor Kate, as I do hear
To wed the lawyer's daughter dear
You shall whether you will or no,
Into my gloomy regions go"
