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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eANONYMOUS\u003cbr\u003eAs at noon Dulcina rested\u003cbr\u003eSweet, stay awhile!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJOHN ATTEY\u003cbr\u003eOn a time the amorous Silvy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJOHN BARTLET\u003cbr\u003eA pretty duck there was\u003cbr\u003eO Lord, thy faithfulness\u003cbr\u003eWhat thing is love?\u003cbr\u003eWhen from my love\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHOMAS CAMPION\u003cbr\u003eA secret love or two\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of light\u003cbr\u003eBeauty, since you so much desire\u003cbr\u003eCome you pretty false-eyed wanton\u003cbr\u003eFollow thy fair sun\u003cbr\u003eFollow your saint\u003cbr\u003eI must complain\u003cbr\u003eIf love loves truth\u003cbr\u003eIf thou long’st so much\u003cbr\u003eIt fell on a summer’s day\u003cbr\u003eLove me or not\u003cbr\u003eMy sweetest Lesbia\u003cbr\u003eNever love unless you can\u003cbr\u003eO what unhoped for sweet supply!\u003cbr\u003eOft have I sigh’d\u003cbr\u003eThe cypress curtain of the night\u003cbr\u003eThe peaceful western wind\u003cbr\u003eThere is a garden in her face\u003cbr\u003eVain men, whose follies\u003cbr\u003eVeil, love, mine eyes\u003cbr\u003eWhen to her lute Corinna sings\u003cbr\u003eYour fair looks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMICHAEL CAVENDISH\u003cbr\u003eLove is not blind\u003cbr\u003eStay, Glycia, stay!\u003cbr\u003eThe heart to rue\u003cbr\u003eWanton, come hither!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWILLIAM CORKINE\u003cbr\u003eHe that hath no mistress\u003cbr\u003eSweet Cupid\u003cbr\u003eSweet, let me go!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJOHN DANYEL\u003cbr\u003eDost thou withdraw thy grace?\u003cbr\u003eI die whenas I do not see\u003cbr\u003eLike as the lute delights\u003cbr\u003eWhy canst thou not?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALFONSO FERRABOSCO II\u003cbr\u003eDrown not with tears\u003cbr\u003eFain I would\u003cbr\u003eLike hermit poor\u003cbr\u003eUnconstant love\u003cbr\u003eYoung and simple though I am\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHOMAS FORD\u003cbr\u003eFair sweet cruel\u003cbr\u003eNot full twelve years\u003cbr\u003eNow I see thy looks were feigned\u003cbr\u003eSince first I saw your face\u003cbr\u003eUnto the temple of thy beauty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRICHARD GREAVES\u003cbr\u003eYe bubbling springs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROBERT JOHNSON\u003cbr\u003eDear do not your fair beauty wrong\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":40221694623807,"sku":"B616","price":13.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/1597\/2927\/files\/B616.jpg?v=1784194726","url":"https:\/\/www.brittensmusic.co.uk\/products\/english-lute-songs-volume-1-chosen-and-introduced-by-michael-pilkington","provider":"Brittens Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
