Dear Jeffery
As Isabel Quigly has explained in our notes in NRG on "The Moral Reformers",
"Kitty of Coleraine" is a traditional irish song (from Co. Derry) The words
RK quotes are from the version by E Lysecht, but there are others. It would
have been extant when RK was at school, so there is no need to suspect
anachronism.
All good wishes, John R
