Would the Alps need to be crossed for this solution?

Drat, that's my research up the spout

A sleepy P to link, Ben, Gustav and Roger Please.

Sleep.... colour.... crimson.... Petal?

"Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson was set by Ben Britten and Roger Quilter... But Gustav? Did Holst get his mitts on it too... ?Further research required, but is this on the right track?

EDIT: Ah yes - Gustav Holst:

Songs from 'The Princess', Op.20a (5 part-songs)
1.Sweet and low
2.The splendour falls
3.Tears, idle tears
4.O swallow, swallow
5.Now sleeps the crimson petal

No (them's the criminal lawyers). Just a new lease of life now the Christmas and pre-Christmas frenzy is out of the way

Glad to hear it, Calibs

We must advance things however, so find me an R from a revengeful statue, Bethlem, and a king whistler linked to a swanee whistle!

(or is that swannee?)

Roger Whittaker might be regarded as a king whistler?

Additionally, according to wiki ...

"In Greek mythology, Nemesis (Greek, Νέμεσις), also called Rhamnousia/Rhamnusia ("the goddess of Rhamnous") at her sanctuary at Rhamnous, north of Marathon, was the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the gods)."

How'm I doin' Doc?

Not so well I'm afraid. I'll call for matron.

The might be literal, but the king thing may require translation (your research is too ancient).

Assume the position, ams

Well Roger Whittaker's whistling was certainly literal, literally bad I'd say.

And Roger Miller sang King of the Road, innit

So I need to arkse - does the R = R oger?
