Alright, so the_miracle_aligner has a lot of very good songs and I would encourage anyone with even a passing interest in hearing bardcore covers to look at them - but it’s this one that’s living, rent free, in my head:

[arzeron]

Gerere te quam optime Praesta terga naturae Omnes optant mundum regere

[hartshorn-and-isinglass]

I love it, because "Scarborough Fair" (or rather, its predecessor "Elfin Knight") is only attested in print as far back as the late 1600s, but who knows how far back it actually goes. Maybe people really were singing a version of it in Middle English in the 1400s.
