No.117 (Anonymous, Richard Edwards?) "The daie(day) delaied(delayed)"
As to whether the composer of this piece is Richard Edwards, Mr. Jonathan Goodliffe states in CPDL, but I have not been able to corroborate this, so like DIAMM, I have treated it as author unknown.
bar1-7 : The daie delaied of that I most do wish,
Wherwt I fede and sterve in one degree:
bar8-14 : Wt wish & want still served in one dissh,
Alyve as dead, by proof as you may see.
bar15-20, 21-26 : to whome of old this proverb well it serues
while gras doth groww, the silly horse he starves.
