'''Thomas Campion''' (1567-1520), [[English]] [[composer]] and [[poet]], studied law and medicine, graduating in 1605, but, within two years, was supplying both the music and texts for [[James I]]’s extraordinarily lavish court entertainments. He is also known to have written a treatise on [[counterpoint]].
He is most well-known for his lute songs, of which he wrote both music and verse for about 120. The best of them show a distinctive elegance and an instinctive marriage of words and music.
