Misc. Notes Nanki Ongaku Bunko (J-Tn): RISM A/I: H 4061
The beautifull simplicity of the following melodies are so truly Vocal, that the Editor could not resist the Impulse of adapting them to English Words, trusting, as they have been so universally admired in the Authors Sonatas &c. They would not be the less acceptable, when joined to elegant Poetry.
