The Tale of Tom Kitten

Produced by Ted Garvin, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net. In issuing this collection of Songs, the author makes the following acknowledgments:-- "The American _Ca ira_" was suggested while reading the French song of that name, from which song the phrase _ca ira_ alone was appropriated. In "The Song of William the Conqueror," his characteristic oath, "By the splendor of God!" is used. In the "Death Song of the Enfants Perdus," a few remembered lines or fragments have been appropriated from an anonymous and almost forgotten English ballad. "Burke of the Brave Brigade" was written in memory of the late Dennis F. Burke, the last commander of the Irish Brigade in the battle of Gettysburg.
