Excerpt from English Madrigals in the Time of Shakespeare

IT was Mr A. H. Bullen's to discover to the world the wealth of melody and fancy hid away in Elizabethan and Jacobean song-books. Where he harvested I have but gleaned. Yet I shall leave the numbers hereafter set forth to Speak for themselves, and be content to note - what, for the rest, is plain - that there is no set madrigal form in verse. Drummond's so-called Madrigals, for instance, are simply brief irregular odes; but their nomenclature is merely arbitrary, inasmuch as nothing is a madrigal unless the musician will it so, . While anything is a madrigal provided the musician so will it.
