"My Mistress Hath a Pretty Thinge"
"Tickle Me Quickly" }Tobias Hume
"Tarleton's Willy" John Dowland
Shocking, disgusting! As a mentor of mine has said, "The rudeness of the
Elizabethans is usually what you think it is."
By the way, I think a "Puffe" is a light, fluffy piece of music. (Something
that may have been quite a challenge for the ever mournful one.)
I usually program "Lady Hunsdon's Puffe" and "Tarleton's Willy" together
because, although I take a perverse pleasure in the "rudeness of the
Elizabethans", I also believe in equal time and good for the goose good for
the gander.
Get in touch with your inner rude man.

We tend to think we have a monopoly on crude, lascivious behavior with our
on line porn, lose moral pop songs and television programs. Such is not
the
case. This is not the first time we have run across female genital
references such and My Lady Hunsdon's Puff. There are those who believe
that the word intended here is not puff but puss. I remember a madrigal I
heard some time ago, the title and author of which I now cannot remember,
but the multi voicing was constructed in such a way that at certain points
in the composition the disparate voicing came together to make the phrase
tickle her taint.

Dear Luters,
The lyrics of Watkins Ale contains this:
cat will after kind,
all winkers are not blind
I had always interpreted the winkers part as referring to a subtle
invitation for a roll in the Ale, until I asked a British friend what he
thought it meant. Much to my surprise, his response was that he thought
that it was pretty crude and explained the winking as the "opening and
closing of certain penetrable orifices."
Who here is so vile that they would know? I'll stop so you can reply.
Peter.
the next auto-quote is:
Keep your government hands off my Medicare!
