If you haven't had a chance to hear the new release from Sting called Songs from the Labyrinth, you might want to look into it. Very beautiful music! Written in the late 1500s and the early 1600s. Mostly by John Dowland (1563-1626). My son gave me the cd for Christmas.
There is even a historical costume reference: Lyrics of Track 10: Fine knacks for ladies Fine knacks for ladies, cheap choice brave and new, Good pennyworths but money cannot move, I keep a fair but for the fair to view, A beggar may be liberal of love. Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true. Great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again, My trifles come, as treasures from my mind, It is a precious jewel to be plain, Sometimes in shell the Orient's pearl we find, Of others take a sheaf, of me a grain. Within this pack pins, points, laces and gloves And divers toys fitting a country fair, But (in) my heart where duty serves and loves, Turtles and twins, Court's brood, a heav'nly pair. Happy the heart that thinks of no removes. Denise Iowa _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
