Dear Peter, "Beauty sat bathing" was also set by Francis Pilkington, with a rather nice "Hey nonny" refrain in slow motion. You might prefer Pilkington's setting to Jones. Presumably the words of "Sigh no more ladies" would fit both settings equally well.

The version they sing is actually Beauty Sat Bathing by Robert Jones from Book III Ultima Vale, but the words of Sigh No More fit perfectly. I'm putting "arr. Gerald Place" in my programme...
