Original

N.B. despite the title of Watson's publication, Byrd's madrigal is not based on an Italian original. The title continues There are also heere inserted two excellent Madrigalls of Master William Byrds, composed after the Italian vaine. Fellowes's monumentally careless scholarship is shown at its worst with regard to this publication, where he explains the "two excellent Madrigalls" as being the two separately-numbered sections of the 6-part setting of This sweet and merry month , having failed to notice that the 4-part version is also included in the book. Needless to say, neither of these is in two sections, and each bears only one number. E.H. Fellowes, William Byrd. OUP, 2nd ed. 1948. , p. 154.
