Lochaber No More G K2v3p47 The Irish tune Lament for Limerick shares a common origin with this. According to Bruce Olson, "...it seems fairly certain that it's Irish. In the Leyden MS, 1692, it's "King James March to Ireland", and later it's found as "Limbrick's Lamentation", "[Since] Celia's my Foe" (replacing the original Irish tune for Duffett's song of 1676]. "Limerick's Lament" in the Skene MS..."
