| Ajoutée par magataganm, 24 Oct 2021 "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms" is a popular song written by the Irish poet Thomas Moore, setting new lyrics to a traditional Irish air that can be traced back into the 18th century. He published it in 1808, naming the air as My Lodging is on the Cold Ground from lyrics of British origin with which it was widely associated at the time. The preface to their joint production quotes a letter that Moore wrote to Stevenson about the need for it to set the record straight on the Irish origin of many melodies that had come to be associated with “our English neighbors.” Toward that end, Moore devised lyrics to replace British ones such as My Lodging is on the Cold Ground. The original version is attested in the play The Rivals by William Davenant, initially performed in 1662. It is sung by the character Celania in Act 5 to a melody that is not indicated. In the article cited in the first reference above, William Grattan Flood provides details about a composed setting of My Lodging is on the Cold Ground, published by Matthew Locke in 1665. It has no Irish nexus and is melodically altogether different from the one in the Stevenson/Moore compilation. The Rivals remained in the active theater repertoire until at least 1668 and Locke’s melody is an obvious candidate for having been the one sung during its performance. Grattan Flood cautions against confusing it with the traditional melody used by Moore, which he claims (without substantiation) had been known under various names to Irish harpers from about 1745. However, he extensively cites verifiable sources with the British lyrics set to it, beginning in 1773. The main focus of the Grattan Flood article is tracing the origins of yet another song set to the same melody in 1838 by Rev. Samuel Gilman in celebration of the 200th-anniversary of the founding of Harvard University. It was titled Fair Harvard and subsequently adopted there for general festive use. The relatively brief interval between the publication of the two sets of lyrics can be seen as an indication of the popular attention that Moor e had called to the shared melody.
