On This Day I Hath Committ'd a Grave Error: Mine (laſs of one ſcore) lady love hath bemoan'd the muſick which I (lad of one ſcore and five) command mine minſtrel to play during our night-time gambols, calling it "wretched" and "an eſpecial fetter upon the humours."

Saltarello, 14th c. Italian dance

adapted for hurdy gurdy by me
