@SpokenVerse Bonus info: John Rhys-Davies also played Gimli in LotR movies. A fun fact, considered he's about six feet tall.

@CupisHomines It helps that England had split with the Catholic Church by then
-
What a witch Will was! The most famous of their medieval familars is weirdly the center of this poem. Weird how he was not tortured to death by the delirious inquisition of that time.

Great, thanks.
-
beautiful reading. your voice is like a blanket of warmth, it sooths me so
-
A few sources have suggested that it mean cooling a pot by adding water......which is bollicks.
John Aubrey uses "keeling" to mean greedily drinking the last drop in one of his Brief Lives.
-
One line in the poem that is more often than not misunderstood and that you missed from your notes is Greasy Joan KEELING the pot.
Joan isn't a scullery maid scouring or scraping the pot as often thought .....she's supping booze and turning her pot upside down to get the last drop,....thus "keeling"....showing the pot's bottom.

Thank you. It's blissful hearing the poem on a day near christmas like this.

I always loved this poem and it is so nice to hear from your exceptional voice. Thanks.

No that was John Rhys-Davies, a Welsh actor, who looks a bit like Pavarotti. He appeared in Indiana Jones movies. I'm flattered but I'm not him.
