(m) Stephano's 'scurvy tunes,' Temp. II, ii, 41, 'I shall no more to sea,' 'The master, the swabber,' etc. [[Appendix]]. Id. l. 175, Caliban's Song, 'Farewell, master,' etc.
(n) Song accompanied by lute. H. 8. III, i. 'Orpheus.'
Besides these there are allusions to the names of various popular tunes and catches, of which the music is still to be had. Amongst these are—
'The Hunt is up' [[Appendix]]. See Rom. and Jul. III, v, 34. Juliet says of the lark's song, 'that voice doth us affray, Hunting thee hence with hunts-up to the day.' Any rousing morning song, even a love-song, was called a hunts-up. The tune of this song was also sung (in 1584) to 'O sweete Olyver, leave me not behind the,' but altering the time to 4 in a bar. See As You Like It III, iii, 95.
'Heart's ease' [[Appendix]], the words of which are not known. Tune before 1560. See Romeo IV, v, 100.
Id., 'My heart is full of woe.'
Id. l. 125. 'When griping grief' [[Appendix]], by Richard Edwards, gentleman of Queen Elizabeth's Chapel, printed in the 'Paradyse of daynty Devises' (printed 1577). Hawkins gives four verses, the first of which is here quoted by Shakespeare, but with several variations—
|
'Where griping grief the hart would wound, And doleful domps the mind oppresse, There Musick with her silver sound Is wont with spede to give redresse; Of troubled minds, for every sore, Swete Musick hath a salve in store.' |
The last verse is charming—
|
'Oh heavenly gift, that turnes the minde, Like as the sterne doth rule the ship, Of musick whom the Gods assignde, To comfort man whom cares would nip; Sith thou both man and beast doest move, What wise man then will thee reprove.' |
