Weep O Mine Eyes!

Weep, O mine eyes and cease not, weep, O mine eyes, weep, O mine eyes, weep and cease not, and cease not.
Alas, these your pring tides increase not, methinks increase not.
O when, O when begin you to swell so high that I may drown me in you, that I may drown me in you.
O when, O when begin you to swell so high that I may drown me in you, that I may drown me in you.

Simply put: BEST MADRIGAL EVAR!

The music files are mostly MIDI, which is EXTREMELY unfortunate. However the last one (CDPL #21) I'm pretty sure is a piano recording (probably from a keyboard...but still, it's not MIDI). The music is here: http://www.oldmusicproject.com/madrigalia/Bennet/WeepMineEyes.pdf

I can't believe I didn't think to google it sooner.

::Edit::

You'll have to type in the final parenthesis to get to hear the song. For whatever reason LJ doesn't want to acknowledge that it is part of the web address, but it is. Just so y'all know. It's TOTALLY worth the trouble. ;)
