Anthony Munday

Anthony Munday (1560–1633) was a London writer who worked as an actor, playwright, pamphleteer, translator of romances and, later, as the city's pageant-poet. He wrote the two plays about Robin Hood as Earl of Huntington (acted 1598, printed 1601) with Henry Chettle.

The two songs here are taken from the play's death scenes as printed in A. H. Bullen's Lyrics from the Dramatists of the Elizabethan Age (1889), where they are credited to Munday.
