I just read "All The Pretty Horses". Strange coming of age type book. I can't say I liked it but the characters keep disturbing my thoughts. Very strange.
    I closed this thread in an attempt to avoid splitting the discussion. Please post here (click) or in one of the related threads listed in the crosslinks toward the top of this page.
    Thanks.

How about using "Golden Slumbers" - written by Thomas Dekker whose dates were 1575–1641 (subsequently borrowed from by Paul McCartney), so the period would be right:

GOLDEN slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby;
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

Care is heavy, therefore sleep you;
You are care, and care must keep you.
Sleep pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby;
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.


Mind you, Dekker might not have been too approved of, in a puritan household, since he wrote plays, and they were a bit Talibanesque about things like that. But maybe a lullaby woudl be acceptable? All depends how bigotted they are in the play you're doing...

I was wondering about the history of this song...as in a year. I'm in a play and it requires a lullaby. The play is set in the 1600's. Something puritan would be best, but I can't seem to find anything. any suggestions?
