150 ページ - Who God doth late and early pray More of His grace than gifts to lend; And entertains the harmless day With a...
85 ページ - He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone ; At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.
81 ページ - Philomel, with melody Sing in our sweet lullaby; Lulla, lulla, lullaby ; lulla, lulla, lullaby ; Never harm, nor spell nor charm, Come our lovely lady nigh; So, good night, with lullaby.
