During 191B g, favourite among lone of the diivirio in_ France was "Rolling Howie, which was fﬂquently heard on the plains of Lombardy. The following verse may be quoted:—

“Rolling home, rollin home,

"B011 giorno" meant “Good day" and “Com est ta?" "How are you?" The Italians. by the way. did not play con-certinas, but that did not matter, it had to come in a5 a rhyme to "signorina."

Strangely, “CIOd Save the King" has an uncertain authorship. The words and the tune were at one time attributed to Henry Carey. an eighteenth century poet who wrote the ballad "Sally in Our Alley". but the claims for Carey in regard to our National Anthem have been

regyugated.

question of the composer of the tune is also in doubt. It has been attributed to John Bull. a sixteenth-seventeenth century com- poser who for a time was organist at Hereford Cathedral, but An his case also there is no substantia- tion.

"(kid Save the King" has fre- quently been utilised 11y ol rqyute, Iia-yden has " ror'a Hymn." Weber used it in his "Bottle and Victorv" tats. and it is in Brahmss "Tri-

ed". Beethoven introduced

The words of "Rule Britannia" first in “ .” a- mas- que in wh~ Mallet and 'I‘hom- son were co alaoratore. The work was written by command o! the Prince oIf Wales of the day. and subsequently His Royal Highness awarded a pension to Thomson.

It is worth noting one line which hos amused controversy was originally written by Thomson as:

"Rule. Britannia. rule the waves." but Thomas Campbell in intro- ducing the line into his “Ode to the Germans", 'ves it in its pre- sent more popu ar form:-

"Britaruiia. rules the waves."
