"Eight canzonets for two soprano voices, dedicated by permission to their Royal Highnesses Princess Augusta and Princess Elizabeth" (and, one assumes, intended for domestic performance by the Royal Family). The bass line is marked "Violoncello or Harpsichord". c.1790 (n/d). Aylward also published a four part setting of this text for use as a glee.
Lyrics: William Shakespeare
Done to death by sland'rous tongues
Was the hero that here lies.
Death, in guerdon of her wrongs,
Gives her fame which never dies.
So the life that died in shame
Lives in death with glorious fame.
Done to death by sland'rous tongues
Was the hero that here lies.
Death, in guerdon of her wrongs,
Gives her fame which never dies.
So the life that died in shame
Lives in death with glorious fame.
