While casually googling Copland's Hye Way to the Spyttal Hous, I noticed
that someone had left a copy of the Chadwych-Healey text of the poem lying
around on the web.
(The English Poetic Text Database, that is, containing virtually all poems
printed in English in book form before 1900.)
Not only that, but it seems to link to the C-H dtabase itself.

This is quite disturbing, and I am sure someone will want to report this to
the good people at Chadwych-Healey before anyone downloads a copy of the
work of their favourite pre-1900 poet which up till now they had been unable
to obtain.
Really, some people are so careless and inconsiderate!
