    But Northo has the next
    "...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..."

      Hello there! Looking for a 'W'....
      Three songs, that share their titles with, respectively, a Hitchcock film, a character from A Midsummer Night's Dream, and a British monarch. All three were composed by the same man, who actually shared his name with a Tory cabinet minister. Please name the songs and the composer.

        The Birds, Robin Goodfellow, Queen Anne: all songs by Peter Warlock whose real name wasn't Michael Heseltine?

          What took you so long? A correct, compete answer. Please proceed to the next letter (your choice) while I go and watch the 'Coronation Ode'. (I didn't need to edit the question after all).
