Richard Edwards

When I was three, I had a friend
Who asked me why bananas bend,
...

When May is in his prime, then may each heart rejoice.
When May bedecks each branch with green, each bird strains forth his voice
...

In going to my naked bed as one that would have slept,
I heard a wife sing to her child, that long before had wept;
...

Where gripinge grefes the hart would wounde,
And dolefulle dumps the mynde oppresse,
There musicke with her silver-sound
...
