Below is the 2006 digital reissue of the 1956 book Count Palmiro Vicarion's Book of Bawdy Ballads done by Margaret Maria Coughlan (aka "Exquisite Enigma", or the ebay name "cogwolf").
To those who have written, are writing, and who
will write them, together with those who have
the sensibility and courage to publish them, this
collection is fondly dedicated. And may they drop
dead who secretly read and publicly burn them—
or else begin their real education.
