The next item in the programme is a Catch by Mr. Henry Purcell, "The Soldier and his friend"; then a Catch by Mr. Giardini, "Beviamo tutti tre." The words are printed in Italian and English. A Glee by Mr. Baildon, "Prithee friend, fill t'other pipe," ends "The first Interlude." The second part opens with a Catch by Mr. Henry Purcell, "Jack, thou'rt a toper," to which Arne has appended a note, "The words of this last Catch are said to be written by Mr. Henry Purcell, wherein, it is obvious, that he meant no elegance, with regard to the poetry; but made it entirely subservient to his extream pretty design, in the music." The catch originally was a number in the Tragedy "Bonduca," for which Purcell composed the music: it was first published in _Delicæ Musicæ_, in 1696. Arne was probably correct in ascribing the words to Purcell. The next piece in the book is called a Glee, but should have been described as a Madrigal--"The Nightingale," by Weelkes. Arne remarked that "The mastership and genius of this production may serve as a specimen of the state of music at that time, 1608." A Glee by Mr. Baildon, "When gay Bacchus fills my breast," which "gained a golden prize-medal in 1766," is followed by a Glee by Arne, "On Chloe sleeping," "the favourite song in Artaxerxes beginning, 'Water parted from the sea'; at the Earl of Eg----t's particular desire, taken by the doctor for the subject of this Glee, and set for different voices, the words being now written to the measure of the music." The "Interlude" concluded with Dean Aldrich's Catch, "Hark, the bonny Christ-Church bells." The third part commenced with a Catch by Arne, "The street intrigue," the words of which are neither elegant nor decent. A note informs us, "This last Catch was written and composed in the year 1763, soon after the invitation of the Catch-Club, and not put in for a prize-medal; but with humility, presented to the members." Next we find a Glee by Arne, "The love rapture"; then his Catch, "Which is the properest day to drink?" "This gained a golden prize-medal in the year 1765," and is a clever composition, still occasionally performed. The last piece in the book is a Glee and Grand Chorus by Arne, "Punch, the medium of life."
