Excerpt from Airs on Fantastic Spirits The six-part Madrigal, Death hath depriv'd me of my dearest friend, is called by Weelkes a remembrance of my friend M. Thomas Morley, who died, it is said, in 1604. Oliphant (mama Madrzgaksca, p. 145) points out that this stanza is taken from Wittes Pilgrimage (by Poeticall Essaies) through a World of Amorous Sonnets, Soule-passions, and other Passages, diuine, philosophical], morall, poetical] and politicall, by John Davies of Hereford, where it is called A Dump upon the death of the most noble Henry, late Earl of Pembroke. Oliphant gives the date of the book as 1590, but the article in the Dictionary of National Biography says that it seems to have been published in 1610 or 161 1, which would put it later than Weelkes' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
