You can probably find the tune on Irish recordings, because it
seems fairly certain that it's Irish. In the Leyden MS, 1692, it's "King
James March to Ireland", and later it's found as "Limbrick's
Lamentation", "[Since] Celia's my Foe" (replacing the original Irish
tune for Duffett's song of 1676]. "Limerick's Lament" in the Scots G.
Skene MS. See the Irish tune index on my website for other early titles.

the Master by watching carefully with mouth shut; his know how
isn't in his language processor, so don't distract him with
foolish questions he can't answer. Other methods of education
don't work at all well.
