                I can explain in a fairly unconvincing way...

                Actually I can't. I have no idea. Brain fade...

                Maybe whoever gets this W can go back to the R I should have set?
                "...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..."

                  Quite so! (And nothing to do with cricket.) There's also On a tree by a river which fits the words as used by Shakespeare in Othello, but which no production I've seen has ever used, for some reason.

                  Flay got to Ms Ekland's cavortings prompted by anton (who has the same effect on me) but the cabbage and mayonnaise added by the dgogger. Any letter of your choice, it would seem!

                      Huh?! (You are brassbandmaestro and I claim my £5!)

                      It's all gone a bit random this end of the alphabet. I blame myself

                      R is a bit of a gift compared with the X that was staring Flay in the face

                        I think (hope) he meant Hogger.

                        Yes I confess I had it cracked.... Please bear with me a little while and I will shift my Rs

                            Does Spender refer to Stephen of that ilk? And Johann Strauss II wrote Napoleon Marsch

                              Did he? How (un)interesting! But not relevant here.

                                Actually there is a sort of Antipodean connection Some detective work would be needed...
