Arrangement of John Dowland's "Flow not so fast ye fountains" with guitar accompaniment. I have added an optional descant which can be played on a flute (or any other melody instrument if required).
The sound sample is a performance by Duncan Saunderson (alto) with David Solomons on guitar and an electronic sound on the descant.

The original madrigal begins:

Must still fall dropping from their spheres.

1. Flow not so fast ye fountains what needeth all this haste swell not above your mountains nor spend your time in waste.
Gentle springs gentle springs freshly your salt tears must still fall dropping must still fall dropping dropping dropping dropping fall dropping from their spheres.

2. Weep they apace whom reason or ling'ring time can ease. My sorrow can no season nor aught besides appease.
Gentle springs gentle springs freshly your salt tears must still fall dropping must still fall dropping dropping dropping dropping fall dropping from their spheres.

3. Time can abate the terror of ev'ry common pain but common grief is error: true grief will still remain.
Gentle springs gentle springs freshly your salt tears must still fall dropping must still fall dropping dropping dropping dropping fall dropping from their spheres.
