Note 1. LXXXVIII. Henry Dod.—In 1603 Henry Dod published a small volume of “Nine of the Singing Psalms,” which he turned “into easie meter,” for the use of his own family “and some godly learned friends.” At a subsequent date he issued, with the royal privilege, “Al the Psalmes of Dauid, with certene Songes and Canticles of Moses, Debora, and others, not formerly extant for song.” Beyond this nothing is known of this author, except that Wither, in his “Scholler’s Purgatory,” calls him a “silkman.” [back]
