Cauldrife Wooer (Brisk Young Lad)
	Traditional. Scheduled for an upcoming Darby CD.
		notes: The insincere lover. The young man pretended to be interested in the girl. He just wanted to get warm and fed. When she discovers his subtrafuge she chases him. He slips in the water by the door, left by the snow that melted from him as he entered.
