Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
At the end of the edition of The Dancing Master printed in 1665, Playford<br> added some "new and pleasant English tunes for the treble-violin", which he<br> afterwards published in a separate form, with others, under the title of Apollo's<br> Banquet for the Treble Violin. "The Lady Frances Nevills Delight" is to be found<br> in both collections, in Music's Delight on the Cithren (1666) and in sundry<br> manuscripts. Some copies differ in the second part of the tune.<br> The House of Neville (also spelled Nevill) is a noble house of early medieval<br> origin, which was a leading force in English politics in the later Middle Ages.<br> The family became one of the two major powers in northern England along with the<br> House of Percy and played a central role in the Wars of the Roses.<br>
