Song: Fair Ursley in a merry mood consulted her...

by George Berg . A Catch for Three voices , in C major

Text:

Fair Ursley in a merry mood consulted her Physician
what time was best to stir the blood and spirits by coition,
quoth Woodward, “If my judgement’s right and answer worth returning,
you’ll find it pleasantest o’er night, most wholesome in the morning,”
quoth Ursley, “Then for pleasure’s sake each evening will I take it,
and ev’ry morning when I wake my constant Physic make it.”
