Robin Adair
''Robin Adair'' is a traditional Irish (sometimes identified as Scottish) song with lyrics written by Lady Caroline Keppel. It was popular in the 18th century.〔http://becomingjane.blogspot.com/2007/08/robin-adair-in-emma-janes-lament-for.html〕 The song was mentioned by Jane Austen in her 1815 novel ''Emma''; the character Jane Fairfax played it on the piano. ==Background== Robin Adair was a real man, born in Dublin around 1714 and passing away in 1790. He was a surgeon-colonel in the British army, and declined a baronetcy. Though her family disapproved of the match because of his lower status, Lady Caroline Keppel (c. 1734–1769)〔http://www.bartleby.com/360/3/74.html〕 married him. In response to her family, she wrote this song in the 1750s. The couple had a son named Sir Robert Adair, who was part of the British diplomatic corps. The melody of the song may have been written by Charles Coffey. ''“Eileen Aroon,"'' a work by him, features the same melody.〔http://www.plheineman.net/robinadair.htm〕
