BEER Ch. 4 The Red Herring

[Robin Landseadel]

AKA: Spam in Aluminum

Hung around a lot of Choirs in the Nineties, Early Musique Buffs and  
the suchlike.

The Lyrics to the tune used in the Vaughan Williams Fantasia:

Why fum'th in fight the Gentiles spite, in fury raging stout?
Why tak'th in hand the people fond, vain things to bring about?
The Kings arise, the Lords devise, in counsels met thereto,
against the Lord with false accord, against His Christ they go.

—Psalm 2:1–2, Archbishop Parker's Psalter (1567)[2]
