Jheronimus Vinders - Mins liefkins bruin oghen (source: 1540)

Jheronimus Vinders (also Vender or Venders) (fl. 1525--1526) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance, active at Ghent. He was a minor member of the generation after Josquin des Prez, and he also composed a notable lament on the more famous composer's death.

Dutch lyrics of the present song:

Mins liefkens brun oghen,
En harren lachende mondt,
Die doen mij pijnen doghen.
Dat icse sien noch spreken en
Mach, noch spreken en mach:
Dat claeg ic god en minen oghen,
Ic ben bedroghen.

(Lyrics from the setting by Benedictus Appenzeller in the same collection: Selectissimae necnon familiarissimae cantiones, Augsburg (edition), Kriesstein, M. (editor), 1540, see: http://www.liederenbank.nl/resultaatlijst.php?zoek=1001481&actie=lieduitb...)
