You might try Moretti's (Pepys guitar teacher/arranger/servant)
setting of 'To be or not to be' for baritone and guitar! Whilst not
the finest music the novelty certainly goes down well with audiences.
More straightforwardly look at:
CHILCOT's splendid ' Twelve English songs' (1744) - includes 8
Shakespeare settings, WELDON 'Come unto these yellow sands' and 'Full
fathom five'
- also Rob JOHNSON's setting of the same,
LEVERIDGE 'Hecate Come away' (Macbeth).
Also many other ARNE settings than the ones you mention.
