I tried unsuccessfully to locate a source years ago. All I can say is
that I couldn't find it in any modern publshed source, nor in Playford
Ayres and Dialogues Books 1 - 3 which contain a few Lanier settings,
nor in Anne Twice's book, nor Ann Blount's. Could have set the words to
a tune known used for some other text of course

Dear All,
I am trying to find the music for a song by Nicolas Lanier with
words
by Richard Lovelace from Lucasta (1649). The title is "To Lucasta
going
to the wars", and the first line is "Tell me not sweet I am unkind".
There are ten songs with words by Lovelace listed in the Garland
facsimile of English song, but "Tell me not sweet" is not among
them,
so I assume the song survives in a printed source. Apparently it is
not
in the collected works of Lanier, ed. Gordon Callon. Can anyone
help?
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.
