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: Ye noble minds, and
