They include many favourites and many lesser-known songs by popular composers such as Dowland, Campion and Pilkington (no known ancestor of the compiler) as well as some unjustly forgotten such as Corkine, Attey and Ferrabosco. Nearly all are for middle-range voice, with lute parts transcribed in staff notation. The books have an appropriate preface and a commentary on the words, which often throw a penetrating light on Elizabethan and Jacobean life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJOHN DOWLAND\u003cbr\u003eAwake sweet love\u003cbr\u003eClear or cloudy\u003cbr\u003eCome again: sweet love\u003cbr\u003eCome away, come sweet love\u003cbr\u003eDaphne was not so chaste\u003cbr\u003eFar from triumphing Court\u003cbr\u003eFarewell unkind farewell\u003cbr\u003eFie on this feigning\u003cbr\u003eFine knacks for ladies\u003cbr\u003eFlow my tears\u003cbr\u003eFlow not so fast ye fountains\u003cbr\u003eI saw my lady weep\u003cbr\u003eIf my complaints could passions move\u003cbr\u003eIn darkness let me dwell\u003cbr\u003eLady if you so spite me\u003cbr\u003eNow, o now I needs must part\u003cbr\u003eShall I sue?\u003cbr\u003eSleep, wayward thoughts\u003cbr\u003eSorrow, sorrow, stay\u003cbr\u003eSweet stay awhile\u003cbr\u003eTime stands still\u003cbr\u003eTo ask for all thy love\u003cbr\u003eToss not my soul\u003cbr\u003eWeep you no more, sad fountains\u003cbr\u003eWhat if I never speed?\u003cbr\u003eWhen Phoebus first did Daphne love\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROBERT JONES\u003cbr\u003eFie, what a coil is here!\u003cbr\u003eGo to bed, sweet muse\u003cbr\u003eMy father fain would have me take a man\u003cbr\u003eMy love hath her true love betrayed\u003cbr\u003eWhat if I seek for love of thee?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHOMAS MORLEY\u003cbr\u003eAbsence, hear thou my protestation\u003cbr\u003eI saw my lady weeping\u003cbr\u003eIt was a lover and his lass\u003cbr\u003eO grief! e’en on the bud\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRICHARD MARTIN\u003cbr\u003eChange thy mind since she doth change\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRANCIS PILKINGTON\u003cbr\u003eDiaphenia\u003cbr\u003eDown a down, thus Phyllis sung\u003cbr\u003eNow let her change\u003cbr\u003eRest sweet nymphs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEORGE MASON\u003cbr\u003eDido was the Carthage Queen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePHILIP ROSSETER\u003cbr\u003eIf I hope I pine\u003cbr\u003eIf she forsake me\u003cbr\u003eKind in unkindness\u003cbr\u003eShall I come if I swim?\u003cbr\u003eSweet, come again\u003cbr\u003eThough far from joy\u003cbr\u003eWhat then is love but mourning\u003cbr\u003eWhen Laura smiles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors - Pilkington, Michael (compiler) \u003cbr\u003eType - Albums\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stainer \u0026 Bell Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40221694656575,"sku":"B617","price":13.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/1597\/2927\/files\/B617.jpg?v=1784194574","url":"https:\/\/www.brittensmusic.co.uk\/products\/english-lute-songs-book-2","provider":"Brittens Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
