Synopsis
Discover a lively collection of centuries-old songs and verses, set to music by John Blow, in Pleasant and Divertive. This volume gathers humor, romance, and social satire in a wide range of tunes, offering a window into how songs were enjoyed and shared in their era.
Structured as a miscellany of ballads and lyric pieces, the book presents the words and some musical cues that accompany the verses. Readers will encounter playful tales, witty comebacks, and risqué humor alongside tender street-ballad mood, all framed by period print and typography.

- Historical content that reflects social life, humor, and manners of the time
- Musical settings and verse forms typical of the period, with familiar choral and solo moments
- Clear, approachable language that invites reading aloud or study of verse and rhythm
Ideal for readers attracted to historical song collections, period satire, and the work of early music editors.
