Lament and mourn, he's dead and gone That was the most renowned one: William Lawes. General of the forces all In Europe that were musical. Have we not cause to weep and mourn, When as the children yet unborn May make us sad To think that neither girl nor boy Shall ever live for to enjoy Such Lawes as once we had.
