Hello..does anyone know a rhyme/poem/song relating to St Swithin...(not the 40 days of rain) I have already found "A Deeside Ballad" by George Davidson...but surely there must be more out there somewhere?

ADDENDUM:
A bit more googling has found that the title of Jane Austen's poem, above, is actually 'Venta'

"When Winchester races", by Jane Austen:

St Swithin also gets mentioned in association with the eve of All Saint's Day, by Sir Walter Scott:

. . . and isn't a song really just a poem set to music?
