I haven't transcribed the lute tablature because I don't know how. %} %{ I've attempted here to give the flavour of the original, as well as a modern (singing edition.) You'll have to imagine the page layout: on the left side of a somewhat-larger than A4 spread there's the Cantus with the first verse below it, and lute tablature below the singing line. The Cantus is fully barred, with a C time signature, although individual bars may contain four, two or six minims. At the bottom of the page are the rest of the verses. The altus, tenor and bassus parts are on the right hand page, arranged so that the tenor would stand next to the cantus, the alto opposite him, and the bass to the right. The music is laid out so that you could put the book on a table and stand around it each singer would see his or her own part the right way up. None of these parts have bar lines, or more than the first verse. All the slurs are my editorial additions, in order to show the textual underlay. I may have got them wrong! %} \version "2.12.0" % fit to two pages #(set-global-staff-size 18) global= { \key g \minor \set Staff.midiInstrument = "recorder" \time 2/1 \skip 1*16 \repeat volta 2 { \skip 1*7 } \alternative {{\skip 1}{\skip 1 \bar "|."}} } cantus=\relative c'' { \set autoBeaming = ##f d2 d4 d4 es1| r4 d2 c bes4 a4. a8 | g2 r4 a bes c d2 | es4 d2 c4 d bes a2 | %5 r2 r4 c4 bes g bes2 | a4 d4. c8( bes4) c c d2 | r4 a4 bes d2 c2 g4 | fis bes a4. a8 g1 | \repeat volta 2 { r4 d'2 bes d4 c a | %10 bes g bes c d2 r4 a4 | c c g g bes bes f f | bes4 g a a } \alternative { { g1 } { g1 } } } cantusWords=\lyricmode{ Un -- qui -- et thoughts your ci -- vill slaugh -- ter stint and wrap your wrongs with -- in a pen -- sive hart: And you my tongue that maks my mouth a minte, and stamps my thoughts to coyne them words by arte: % \repeat volta 2 { Be still for if you ev -- er doo the like, Ile cut the string, Ile cut the string, that maks the ham -- mer % } \alternative { % { strike. % }{ strike. % }} } altus=\relative c''{ \set autoBeaming = ##f bes2 bes4 bes g1 | d2 d4 e fis( g2) fis4 | g2 r4 fis4 g a bes4. bes8 | a4 fis g4. g8 fis4 r8 g a4 c | %5 bes g g fis g4. g8 d2 | f4 bes4. a8 g4 a8 bes4 a8 bes4 r8 bes | a4 fis g4. fis8 d8([ e] f4) es2 | d d4.( c8) b2 r4 g'4 | \repeat volta 2 { fis4 a d, g f2. c4 | d d g4. g8 fis2 r4 c4 | c es es bes d d d d | d c4. a8 d4 } \alternative { { b2 r4 g'4 } { b,1 } } } altusWords=\lyricmode { Un -- qui -- et thoughts, your ci -- vil slaugh -- ter stint and wrap your wrongs with -- in a pen -- sive hart, and you my toung that makes my mouth a minte, my toung that makes my mouth a minte, and stamps my thoughts to coine __ them words by __ art be % \repeat volta 2 { still be still for if you ev -- er do the like Ile | cut the string Ile cut the string that | makes the ham -- mer % } \alternative { % { strike.
