The fifteenth episode of Stories from the Black Kitchen. In today’s episode we discuss three songs from John Dowland’s Second Booke of Songs (1600):
Time’s Eldest Sonne, Then Sit Thee Downe and When Others Sings
This work forms a triptych, and we shall seek to determine the narrative that underpins its three constituent songs.

Then Sit Thee Downe
When Others Sings
