about
"I saw my Lady weeping" is also by Thomas Morley, who held the patent on music publishing from 1598 until his death in 1602. Holding the patent meant that every scrap of music required Morley's approval prior to publication. After lutenist John Dowland's First Booke of Songes (1597) met with great success, Morley himself leapt into the enterprise, even though he described himself as “no professor” of the lute. Dowland submitted his Second Booke for publication in 1600 and Morley appears to have blithely filched the text of the first song in Dowland's book, “I saw my Lady weepe”, placing his own First Booke of Ayres forward in the queue for publication ahead of Dowland's. Shenanigans aside, Morley's “I saw my Lady weeping” is a fine song in its own right.
