Life
Little is known of Browne's life. A John Browne from Coventry, believed to be the composer, was elected scholar of Eton in July 1467; he is described as having been 14 years of age at the time of his appointment, making him a slightly younger contemporary of Walter Lambe, who was likely at Eton during Browne's tenure. Nothing is known of his later career or death.

A Sphinx with woman breast and lion paw,

Hand lifted up that blest;
And right between these two a girl at play
That, it may be, had danced her life away....”
