'''CAPTAIN CORK'S DEATH'''. Scottish, Air. Captain Cook's death? The original air published by James Johnston and Robert Burns in the '''Scots Musical Museum''' is attributed to Lucy Oswald of Hilton (later Mrs. Oswald of Auchincruive), to which Burns's song "Thou lingering star with lessening ray" was set. The modern air to which the song is now commonly sung, however, is a composition of John Lowe, called "Mary's Dream." Lowe was a Galloway divinity student and minor poet who died in America in 1798. See note for "Miss Johnston of Hilton's Fancy" for more on the Oswalds.
