Thread Name: Lyr Req: English-sounding tune
Subject: English-sounding tune
I was just wondering if anyone might be able to tell me the name of a song I heard once; it sounds English and pre-Renaissance, but I'm not quite sure. The first verse and the chorus goes something like this:

Oh, that I had a pretty thing to give unto my lady; I know not how and I need no thing but as pretty a thing as may be.

Twenty journeys would I make and twenty ways would hie me to make adventure for her sake and set some matter by me.

Thanks for whatever help anyone can give me. God bless,

Don
