Two tunes to "I Loathe That I Did Love" (Thomas Lord Vaux's "The Aged Lover Renounceth Love") are given in Chappell's Popular Music, vol. 1 (1859, p. 217). Chappell says: "Three stanzas from the poem are sung by the grave-digger in Hamlet; but they are much corrupted, and in all probability designedly, to suit the character of an illiterate clown. On the stage the grave-digger now sing them to the tune of The Children in the Wood."
