Hudson[1] opines:
Our "scientific" readers will see that we are in a peculiar strain of luck for violating the rules of harmony in this number; for, in the seventh and eighth bars of the second part, they will find as hair-breadth an escape from consecutive fifths in the accompaniment as ever they met in their lives; if not the very things themselves.
Fleischmann et al note that the song "Sé monuair nach bhfuilim tréightheaach" is sung to this air.
