[1] The date of his death is fixed only by the fact that Henry Purcell wrote an elegy on him to words by Nahum Tate, published in Orpheus Britannicus, ii.
35, and beginning "Young Thyrsis' fate ye hills and groves deplore".
John Hawkins stated that his house was in Martlet Court, Bow Street, Covent Garden.
He wrote the tunes in The Princess of Cleve, which appear in a set of manuscript parts dated December [16]82, owned by Thomas Fuller; Fuller possessed three other compositions in three parts by him, and various overtures are contained in British Library Add MS 24889.
In 1686 his own collection of airs in four parts appeared, under the title of A Consort of Musick, containing 33 lessons.
