all my musical friends... I am looking for a Ren period sounding song of love. Prefereably something minor or sad sounding. Lost love is fine. Anyone have any favorites?

The Willow song, Desdemona sings snippets of it in Othello. Shakespeare gave her feminised lyrics (so the poor soul is a woman not aman) but most people sing it as a man, which is silly really if we have proof of it being changed to a song for a woman at the time...
