Thomas Campion (1567-1620) was born in London and educated at Cambridge. He studied law at Gray’s Inn and was a poet and composer – a contemporary not only of Shakespeare, Drayton, Marlowe and Jonson, but also of Byrd, Morley, Gibbons and Dowland. In 1591, five of his songs appeared in the unauthorised version of Sidney’s “Astrophel and Stella”.
