_Concolinel_ (Vol. ii., pp. 217. 317.).--As _Calen O Custore me_, after
sorely puzzling the critics, was at length discovered to be an Irish
air, or the burthen of an Irish song, is it not possible that the
equally outlandish-looking "_Concolinel_" may be only a corruption of
"_Coolin_", that "far-famed melody," as Mr. Bunting terms it in his
_last_ collection of _The Ancient Music of Ireland_ (Dublin, 1840),
where it may be found in a style "more Irish than that of the sets
hitherto published?" And truly it is a "sweet air," well fitted to "make
passionate _the_ sense of hearing," and melt the soul of even Don
Adriano de Armado. The transmogrification of "_Coolin_" into
"_Concolinel_", is hardly more strange than that of "_Cailin og astore
mo_" [_chree_] (=my dear young girl, my [heart's] darling) into _Callino
castore me_.
