Note 1. This little, and perfect, snatch of sentiment was discovered by Mr. Bullen, who rescued it from the collection of early MS. music-books in the library of Christ Church, Oxford. In the MS. the lines are subscribed, “Mr. Gyles.” Nathaniel Giles was a chorister at Magdalen, and successively organist and master of the choristers at St. George’s, Windsor, and master of the Children of the Chapel Royal. He died 24 January, 1633, and was buried at Windsor. [back]
