Subject: RE: Lyr Req: songs from 'The Tale of Ale'
I searched Google Books for the titles mentioned by Bruce O above, and found only these:

An Antidote against Melancholy: Made Up in Pills.
Compounded of Witty Ballads, Jovial Songs, and Merry Catches.
Printed by Mer. Melancholicus, to be sold in London and Westminster, 1661.
[no author's or editor's name given; an undated reprint]

An Antidote against Melancholy
Compounded of Choice Poems, Jovial Songs, Merry Ballads, and Witty Parodies.
Most pleasant and diverting to read.
At New-York. Printed by T. L. D. V. for Pratt Manufacturing Company..., Christmas, 1884.
[I'm guessing this was newly compiled in 1884 but designed to look much older.]
