How can approaches to the investigation of dramatic song best take into account the nature of the surviving evidence?46 William Shakespeare, "Othello," in Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies (1623), TLN 2998-3003 (4.3.27-32). 47 This quotation follows the broadsheet (EBBA 36064) rather than the fairy pamphlet. The sole extant song connected with the tune that does not begin with an explicit invitation to "follow" is "The Diggers Christmass-Caroll," considered below.
