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.

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.
