"A Pleasant new Ballade of Daphne":  This is a difficult piece for voice, and therefore suitable for kingdom-level A&S competitions.  In this arrangement I have redacted the 2nd and 3rd verses into a single verse, in order to keep the song within time constraints for competition.

Lyrics thought to be written before 1600 by Thomas Deloney who lived from 1523-1600, but whose work remained popular but unpublished until _The Royal Garden of Love & Delight_ appeared in 1674.  

Music is also Elizabethan but possibly not original to the piece - arrangement (c) 1999 by Master Piper.  Performance (c) 2012 by Dana Cushing.  My thanks to Margrethe of Atlantia for kindly allowing me to copy her documentation, and to Master Piper for permission publish it in my songbook "Li Trouvere" (2000)!
