The underlay is confusing. The Lenvoy section is printed after the first verse, which has one set of words and a repeat sign. The verse printed at the bottom of the canto part is two sets of words for the A music, but the Lenvoy section is specified to be sung only after the second set. The repeat signs occur in the lute part, at the end of the A section in the Canto part, and in Lenvoy for all parts, but not in the A section of any of the other vocal parts. There are other reasonable interpretations, but I think Dowland probably meant Lenvoy to be sung (and repeated) after all three verses are sung. I would not repeat any of the A section words, i.e., I would sing the A section 3 times with different words each time. 2 The Canto part is written with no flats or sharps in the key signature; all other parts are written with a key signature of one flat. 3 Fermata does not appear in this part in the original, but is in Tenore and Basso. 4 Fermata does not appear in this part in the original, but is all the other parts.

Second-X-O sweet woods,
O sweet woods the delight of solitarinesse The “refrain” section at the beginning has no performance directions in the original. Some modern editions treat it like a chorus, to be sung at the beginning and end and also between all the verses. We decided to treat it like a West Gallery “symphonia”, and play it at the beginning and end but not between every verse. This is another one (besides Can she excuse my wrongs Page I-20) where the poem may have been written by the Earl of Essex, who spent time in Wanstead when out of favor with Queen Elizabeth.

This system (from tress- ed to those sweet) has the flat in the key signature on the third line, although the C clef is on the first line. I’m assuming the clef is correct and the key signature is wrong.

Note: I had originally repeated the B section to “Restore, restore”. The facsimile has both a begin and end repeat between the A and the B sections, and also a repeat back to here squiggle at “Least”. Since it looks like the printer may not have had one-way repeat bars, I am now repeating only to “Least”, which agrees with other modern editions I have seen. Note also that least here is an Elizabethan spelling for the word we spell lest, and not the word we spell least.
