[edit] Reginald Heber version

Should the entirety of these lyrics be included in this article? I formatted what was already entered, but, while the tune is (supposedly) used, I think Heber's version should have its own article with a link to this one, or only be mentioned without all of its lyrics.

It should be referenced only in thus article, have removed lyrics of derivative version. --Damnbutter 09:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A few removals

Made a few removals. For instance, The Minstrel Boy is set to the Irish aire called the Moreen. The Son of God Goes forth to war, used in The Man Who Would be King, is not set to the Minstrel Boy, but rather to the Moreen, ergo it has been removed from this article. If anyone disagrees, feel free to revert my two edits. Thanks 76.68.36.64 04:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
