Thanks for the heads-up.

I wouldn't have known the expression 'gypsy cab' when I first heard 'Trouble with the Classicists': it isn't the local idiom.

But I must have retained my original misconstruction of the line even after I became familiar with 'gypsy cab' as a term.

I shall miss my mondegreen, but I suppose one needs to stay true to the words of a poem.
