Dear all! I am new to this list and usually I am not a "besserwisser" but the first line you refered to is:
"Have you seen but a bright lily grow Before rude hands have touched it?" That is also the original poem of Ben Jonson, Listen to it carefully and you will hear. And i think the record will - mostly the lute part of course - wake some sleeping interest that we all can gain from. Thats all from now, from a dark and rainy west-coast of Sweden (Goteborg).
