Wit and Mirth: or Pills to Purge Melancholy, Vol. 6 of 6 by Thomas D'Urfey

"Wit and Mirth: or Pills to Purge Melancholy, Vol. 6 of 6" by Thomas D'Urfey is a song collection published between 1698 and 1720. This massive anthology ultimately contained over 1,000 songs and poems across six volumes. The collection features music by renowned composers including John Blow and Henry Purcell, with many ribald and humorous pieces designed to chase away sadness. Originally compiled by publisher Henry Playford, D'Urfey later expanded and reorganized the work, creating a treasury of English songs that has inspired folk singers and musicians for centuries.
