Hi David.
I'm not sure what's going on here
My take on what happened next.
Do you know Auden's poem on Lear? I just discovered it recently. Really good.
The one that ends,
And children swarmed to him like settlers. He became a land. ?
Terrific, isn't it?
Hi Jim.
Piggy-wig goes back on a deal of trading
He was bilked he'd tell ya.
and goes away a shilling to the good and nose ring back in its possession.
To be fair to PW he hasn't actually done anything ... yet (prior evidence notwithstanding.) He's merely contemplating. And it would surely be more than a shilling to the good. There's all that 'needful', wrapped up in a five pound note, don't forget.
"spirlling" - my invention.
I don't know what else to ask except is this supposed to be a song in 2/4 time?
A question I'd never considered, can I get back to you on that?
Thanks both.
RG.
