I Saw My Lady Weepe

"I Saw My Lady Weepe" is a lute song from the Second Booke of Songes or Ayres by Renaissance lutenist and composer John Dowland. It is the first song in the Second Booke and is dedicated to Anthony Holborne. It is an example of Dowland's use of chromaticism and is sometimes considered to be related to the song that follows it in the Booke.

Famous quotes containing the word lady:

    “Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin’,
    Bates every city upon the say;
    ‘Tis there you’ll see O’Connell spoutin’,
    An’ Lady Morgan makin’ tay;
    For ‘tis the capital of the finest nation,
    Wid charmin’ pisintry on a fruitful sod,
    Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
    An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”
    —Charles James Lever (1809–1872)
