Dr. E. H. Fellowes has very kindly added an Appendix in which is contained the words of Desdemona's Willow Song adapted to the old melody. Special value attaches to this contribution because, not only is this the first occasion, as far as I am aware, that the melody has been printed in connexion with Shakespeare's words, but also readers are provided with a version of the music on which absolute reliance can be placed. In addition to his being a special authority on the music of the period, Dr. Fellowes enjoys the rare distinction of combining excellent musicianship with sound scholarship.
