Hello there everyone - does anyone know a good comprehensive site to go for for sixteenth century lyrics for songs like 'Come Again' 'Fortune My Foe' etc? Mudcat has only short versions of songs I'm after, or none at all. Thanks.

Bruce Olson's site at http://users.erols.com/olsonw/ might get you what you want.

Sixteenth Century Ballads

Dowland's First Book of Lute Songs and Ayres, with PDF file, & midi files (zipped).

Not a website, but E.H. Fellows, English Madrigal Verse 1588-1632 (Oxford, 3rd ed., 1967) is a nearly comprehensive collection of texts (words only).

Masato --

Thanks a bunch for that Sixteenth Century Ballads link! If one keeps clicking on links from there, one can fall into a bunch of sites on lace and needlework, complete with patterns. No sleep tonight! That's great. Thanks, thanks.
