For she had a tongue with a tang,
Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang,
Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang.]
15. 'Jog On,' p. 72, _Winter's Tale_ IV, ii, 125. Two more stanzas
were first printed 1661, see Chappell, Vol. I. 160. The tune is from
the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book), where
it has the name
_Hanskin._
[Music: Autolycus
Jog on, jog on, the foot-path way,
And merrily hent the stile-a:
A merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in a mile-a.]
16. 'The Hunt is up,' see p. 73, and _Rom. and Jul._ III, v, 34. The
tune is at least as old as 1537, when John Hogon was proceeded against
for singing it with certain political words.
[Music:
The hunt is up, the hunt is up, and it is well-nigh day;
And Harry our king is gone hunt-ing to bring his deer to bay.]
Grove [see under Ballad] gives quite another tune, to which 'Chevy
Chase' also was sung.
The tune here printed was also sung (1584) to 'O sweete Olyver, leave
me not behind the,' but altered to four in a bar. See _As You_ III,
iii, 95, where a verse is given which will easily fit to the music.
17. 'Heart's Ease,' p. 73. _Rom._ IV, v, 100. Words not known. Tune
before 1560.
[Music]
18. 'Where Griping Grief,' p. 73, _Rom._ IV, v, 125, by Rich. Edwards,
poet and composer, 1577.
[Music:
Where griping grief the hart would wound, and dol-ful domps the
mind op-presse,
There Musick with her sil-ver sound is wont with spede to give
re-dresse;
Of troubled minds, for e-ve-ry sore,
Swete Mus-ick hath a salve in store.]
19. 'Green Sleeves,' see p. 74, and _Wiv._ II, i, 60, etc. The tune is
probably of Henry VIII.'s time.
[Music:
Alas, my love you do me wrong to cast me off dis-courteously,
And I have lov-ed you so long, de-lighting in your company,
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my Lady Greensleeves.]
20. 'Carman's Whistle,' p. 76, _H. 4. B._ III, ii, 320. Tune as given
by Byrd, who wrote variations on it before 1591.
[Music]
21. 'Fortune my Foe,' p. 76, _Merry Wiv._ III, iii, 62. This old tune
is, at latest, of Elizabeth's day, and most likely much older. The
words here set are given in Burney, and the harmony is by Byrd, who
wrote variations on it for Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book.
[Music:
