Caliban’s Song (I)

hark! hark! the lark

As a decrepit Father takes delight

Sleepest or wakest thou, jolly Shepherd?

Over hill, over Dale

Under the Greenwood Tree

Cupid Asleep

And will he not come again?

Sigh no more, Ladies

Now the hungry Lion Roars

It was a Lover and his Lass

And let me the Canakin clink

Winter. When Icicles hang by the Wall

Plumpy Bacchus

Art thou God to Shepherd turned?

For the Rain it raineth every day

Some glory in their Birth

Come unto these Yellow Sands

Jog on, jog on

If Love make me Forsworn
