Elizabethan Limerick (You’ve Got Me on the Go)
The singers at Queen Bess’s court
In need of a song for her sport,
Asked, “Prithee, John Wilbye
How much would the bill be
For a madrigal snappy and short?”

Technically, today is John Wilbye's baptismal day, but we're going to celebrate anyway (baptized 7 March 1574 – September 1638).
