if this is has been gone through many times before,
please excuse me, i missed it.  

i was under the impression that purcell lifted the
melody to "lillibullero" from an unnamed irish tune.

is this correct and if so, does the refrain ... 

lero lero lillibullero
lillibullero bullen a la

.. have any significance other than nonsense rhyme?
