'it fits Ford like a glove, fails only one Ford test, and  . . . it is
790 trillion times closer to Ford than to Shakespeare.'

Ward Elliott's confidence is quite laughable.  All of his criteria would
apply equally, and indeed most powerfully and obviously, to a piece
deliberately written by Shakespeare in the style of Ford. Its
ludicrously high degree of 'Fordness' is the most certain indication of
parody, and a pretty clear signal that Ford had nothing at all to do
with it.

Are there any recordings of the Funeral Elegy?  I was listening the
other midnight to Christopher Plummer doing parts of Henry V (CD on the
Chandos label, _Sir William Walton's Film Music, Vol. 3_; Marriner/St.
Martin's in the Fields/Choristers of Westminster) and found myself
simply *overpowered* by words that are indubitably Shakespeare's.  I
wonder if that could possibly happen with a professional recording of
Funeral Elegy?  On paper it just doesn't do anything for me.
