It was a lover and his lass

I spent the whole time waiting for Morely to rhyme moon and June.

@Fozzymaple

The words are by Shakespeare, not Morley.

Very nice version by Deller. My favorite version is by Julian Bream/Robert Tears.

Such a foolish song.

[pastasalademmm]

yes, lovely isn`t it?

[bangwhistle69]

@retread01  Just what, exactly is "foolish" about it? People have been enchanted with it for over 400 years.

[EhyehAsherEhyeh]

@bangwhistle69 It's from the play "As You Like It" where it's sung, and the Fool remarks it's a foolish song and proceeds to run away with his love.

@retread01

Such a foolish comment.

@Damontheprophet Go and read/see As You Like It and you might understand why your comment is the foolish one.
