    Is this going to be one of those games where the setter gets another go, and potentially puts us into an endless loop?

      wild guess - anything to do with Sir Joseph Porter in HMS Pinafore?
      do we have weavers of a sort in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

          The finch, the sparrow and the lark,
          The plain-song cuckoo gray,
          Whose note full many a man doth mark,
          And dares not answer nay;--

          Which has nothing to do with solving this!

              Yes! we're getting there...

              Sir Joseph Porter - now what was his maritime song??

                        no - my "(?) Weaver" needs to be found in a language other than English....

                                So muat be Weber and Ruler of the Spirits
