‘Tis springtime in New York City, the bees are buzzing, the early modern songs are echoing, and I am reading still. ݁♬⋆.˚𝄞

I am resoundingly grateful for Stetson University’s support through the SURE Grant to continue my research of Song “XXII” or “The sad Nymph, Echo” from NYPL Drexel Ms. 4175, “Anne Twice, Her Booke” or “Songs Vnto the Lute and Viol,” at the New York Public Library this past semester. Thank you, especially, to my faculty advisor, Dr. Joel Davis, and the rest of the SU English Department, Dr. Katie Larson at the University of Toronto, the librarians and musicologist Bob Kosovsky at the NYPL for the Performing Arts, and, of course, my “research assistant” (father) for each inspiring my research with insight and erudite reading material.

Now, nothing but prayers to write, embody, and edit and publish both…
