version that the hero Of the ballad was
a young and handsome Irish surgeon,
who, finding his way into London soci-
ETY. about the middle Of the eighteenth
century, was fortunate enough to Sc
cure the affections of Lady Caroline
Keppel, daughter of William, second
earl Of Albemarle, and his wife. Lady
Anne Lennox, daughter Of Charles,
first duke Of Richmond The match
was naturally looked on with disfavor
by the family Of the young lady. and
it was during a period of temporary
separation that Lady Caroline is said
to have written the words Of "RObln
Adair" and set them to the old Irish
tune Of eileen Aroon" which she had
learned from her lover At length,
however, love triumphed, and the pair
were united on Feb. %, 1853. Within
a few days Adair was appointed in
