Ah, yes, "In Darkness..." - one of his more cheerful ones! *bg* English Airs, on the whole, tend to be melancholy, more so in lyric than tune (some of which are quite lively whilst still complaining of lover's inconstancies, etc). You'll no doubt be relieved to know that Dowland (one the finest English composers ever, IMHO) doesn't do 'glib'!
