        I have just learnt for the first time what "Boris Island" is... Not for the first time, scb, I find your clues are puzzles in their own right! (I mean that as a compliment!)
        "...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..."
