One line of the refrain is taken from an old love song, "Sweet, if you Love me, Let me Go," set to a charming melody in D major, and to be found in Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Time.
[Beside Hazlitt’s Grave]: P. [47].
St. Anne's, Soho, boasts the "sorry steeple," one of London's architectural absurdities.

[A Friend’s Song for Simoisius]: P. [49].
