Dear Charles, God's Goodness is only one of several things one is urged to remember in this song. The first line is Remember O thou man, and it comes from Ravenscroft's _Melismata_ (London, 1611). This book is available in facsimile on the Internet. You don't say if you want an intabulation of

He did die of plague and burned all of his unpublished manuscripts before doing so. Whether or not he was low down and foul smelling is a subject for debate. However it is my understanding that people of the time did not bath often so one is left with deciding degrees of aroma and levels

Haven't heard this of Bakfark, but on a famous post-mortem-engraving of Weiss the inscription reads Es soll nur Sylvius die Laute spielen (Sylvius alone shall play the lute), a quote from a poem. Also, I've somewhere read a description of Count Logy's final hour, when Logy ordered all of his
