      I occasionally set crosswords, and must be careful not to use the 'He was a terrible Czar (4)' line too often in case the readers notice.

                Well done (sorry about the insults!)

                "How Sweet to Be an Idiot" by Neil Innes.
                It was the Schnittke's "Life With an Idiot" - what a very strange plot, hacking off the wife's head:

                  And yet you seemed to enjoy them...

                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            J links EC EP and ER1

                              Are the Es all the same? I'm thinking Elizabeth R the First, Elizabeth Poston, and another Elizabeth... The J could be Jesus as in the Poston carol, and I'm sure Good Queen Bess penned something about Him...

                              Getting warm, or cold as ice?
