Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dr faustus' broomfield hill (#43)
Roberto,
It sounds to me that the missing lines may be:
Then up spake a witch woman clear and loud
Who had been hiding alone
Your transcription sounds fine to me. The only places I hear differently are:
Stanza 8: For your love he has RUN
'Slumber' sounds plural to me wherever occurring - 'Slumbers'
13: Three times she's danced ROUND the soles of his shoes
14: Saying, love, BY this token
17/1: no 'and': ... feet, master, made my reins ring
19/1: no 'and': ... wings, master, made my bell ring
21/3: That if YOU'D LIE still when a-bed at night
23/3: ... your LOVE OF so long
Hope the above is of some help.
