Excerpt from A Handful of Pleasant Delights: Containing Sundry New Sonnets and Delectable Histories in Divers Kinds of Metre Etc., 1584
Being thus intended for singing, there is not a true Sonnet in the Collection.
An important feature of these early printed ballads is that they gave the names - either from their title, their first line, their burden or some prominent words therein - to the tunes to which they were first sung; by which names, these tunes are frequently quoted in the writings Of shakespeare and his contemporaries.
