149426 : Jones : Come, doleful owl : sheet music
Catalogued as Choral - Secular

From Jones's First set of madrigals, London 1604
Lyrics: Anon

Come, doleful owl, the messenger of woe,
Melancholy's bird, companion of despair,
Sorrow's best friend and mirth's professed foe,
The chief discourser that delights sad care;
O come, poor owl, and tell thy woes to me;
Which having heard, I'll do the like for thee.
