who's for an F ?
Well it's easy to comply with the letter of the law with a spot of cut-n-paste:
Epithalamium
John Fould's piece (he was born in Hulme)
Thomas Arne's 1736 "A Grand Epithalamium"
Jean Roger-Ducasse, Epithalame 1923
I'll think up an F if desired - Northender's gone off to luncheon."...the isle is full of noises,
