148955 : Lichfield : Whilst that my lovely Daphne : sheet music
Catalogued as Choral - Secular

Of Lichfield little is known, except that the dedication of his sole printed set of madrigals (from which this item comes) shows him to have been in the service of Lady Cheyney of Toddington, Beds.
Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer

Whilst that my Daphne down from the hills came walking,
The nymphs of Diana in a shade sat talking.
This shepherd's queen,
That there was unseen,
All suddenly in rushed.
Lord, how the nymphs then blushed!
And all danced round about her with this sweet cry:
Long live my lovely Daphne.
