PAGE =23=. BREAKE OF DAY.

This is set to the following air in Corkine's _Second Book of Ayres_

(1612). As given here it has been transcribed by Mr. Barclay Squire,

omitting the lute accompaniment:

[Music:

'Tis true 'tis day, What though it be?

And will you there-fore rise from me?

What, will you rise, What, will you rise be-cause 'tis light?

Did we lye downe be-cause 'twas night?

Love that in spight of dark-nesse brought us he-ther,

In spight of light should keepe us still to-ge-ther,

In spight of light should keepe us still to-ge-ther,

In spight of light should keepe us still to-ge-ther.]
