"Wit and Mirth: or Pills to Purge Melancholy, Vol. 5 of 6" by Thomas D'Urfey is a collection of songs published between 1698 and 1720. This massive anthology grew from a single volume into six volumes containing over 1,000 songs and poems. The collection features music by renowned composers including Dr. John Blow and Henry Purcell. These songs, many ribald in nature, have inspired numerous folk recordings and adaptations throughout the twentieth century, keeping D'Urfey's spirited verses alive for modern audiences.
