Notes and attribution research

Illustrator identified from volume contents page (AHC). The volume contents page also erroneosuly identifies Izaak Walton as the poet, but the song was written by William Basse to be included in Walton’s The Compleat Angler (1653). See the explanatory notes in Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton, The Compleat Angler (London & New York: John Lane, 1897), p. 412, as well as the entry for Basse in ODNB. (BGL)
