Southcott, guitiar; music by David Edgar Walther; Acting Singers Project presents on a generous grant from Daniel B. Kelly; Recorded by Mike Burke at John Weston's Futura Studio; Poem by Ovid, trans. by C. Marlowe; What makes my bed seem hard seeing it is soft? Or why slips downe the Coverlet so oft? Although the nights be long, I sleepe not tho, My sides are sore with tumbling to and fro. Were Love the cause, it's like I shoulde descry him,Or lies he close, and shoots where none can spie him? T'was so, he stroke me with a slender dart, Tis cruell love turmoyles my captive hart. Note: Gaveston (MB) sings # 3 "Love's Reply" simultaneously with # 1 "Love Letter" sung by Edward II (DW) to conclude Tableau I.
