Thank you, David, for your thoughts. I enjoy reading them, and find them worthwhile food for tought. I'd love to see somebody do an extensive search on Italian and French originals of Dowland's (and other's) song texts, as it is my feeling too, the lute song composers borrowed much from the continent.
