I think so, Cloughie.
We're among the Britten folksong settings, are we not?
1. "Oliver Cromwell lay buried and dead, Hee-haw, buried and dead..."
2. "As sweet Polly Oliver ...
So early next morning she softly arose,
And dressed herself up in her dead brother's clothes.
...
And went for a soldier to fair London Town.
Then up spoke the sergeant one day at his drill,
"Now who's good for nursing? A captain, he's ill."
"I'm ready," said Polly. To nurse him she's gone,
...
The captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse."
3. Still wondering...."...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..."

Maybe I should think about a P if he hasn't turned up by lunchtime...
