Adaptation of the music of T.A. Arne, written out by Dr. W.A. Barrett. Scored for voice and keyboard. The words of the song are from Shakespeare's Love's labour's lost, apparently used in the version of As you like it for which Arne supplied incidental music; otherwise, there is no Love's labour's lost music by Arne.
