[Dan Schmidt]

This may be common knowledge, but the tune Ethelmer plays, "To
Anacreon in Heaven," which "would be martial but for its Tempo, being
more that of a Minuet,--- thirty--two Measures in all---", containing
a "Phrase ascending like a Sky-Rocket," is of course the British
drinking song whose music Francis Scott Key ripped off for "The
Star-Spangled Banner."  No Joak, foax.
