Thread Name: Early music song 'pretty bird'
Subject: RE: Early music song 'pretty bird'
John Danyel wrote a lute song called "Thou pretty bird", but it appears only as the 1st three words.
On the other hand John Bartlett wrote a lute song called "A Pretty Duck", which has "A pretty pretty pretty duck, a pretty duck, a pretty pretty duck. A very pretty duck there was..."!
Can't think offhand of so many pretty birds (though Philip my sparrow hath no peer!)
