oh, this guy was Irish, I didn't look that up. Yes, I prefer to say the names correctly, so thanks for pointing it out.
"by J. Augustus Shea" has been re-recorded.
And I think I still hear ear for ere instead of air (2:58).
I did it again...old habits die hard. I
corrected "ere the fascinator's eyes", the rest stays the same. It was at 2:55 though.
The poetic over, which is o'er, should rhyme with oar and is usually not rendered as two syllables (46,1:05, 2:11,and 2:47). Finally, whate'er is only two syllables usually. But as I said, most of these may be characterized as quibbling and need not be changed.
ok I decided to leave these as they were. It is a quirk of mine to speak "o'er" and the like out in full because I did try sometimes to say the syncopated word but it never sounded good to me, I seem to have trouble saying these words. So I will sacrifice the rhythm and rhyme a bit on those lines. Hope that's ok.
Thanks for the fast PL
